Before you start applying eye makeup, soak a few Q-tips in eye makeup remover so that you can correct mistakes right away. Gently pull your lid taut, and paint one continuous line of eye makeup from the inner corner out. If you find you can't paint the line on straight, draw several dashes, then connect them. If you miss spots between the lashes and the liner, use black mascara to cover the bare skin that still shows. The shiny texture matches well, and it's less risky than trying to repair with the liner.

Make sure the liner is visible when you look straight in the mirror. If the lines are too thin or they blend right into the lash line, you won't get a dramatic result. To get a super-dramatic cat eye, look at yourself straight in the mirror, then put a little "dot" just outside your outer corner to represent where you want the tail to end. If the dots on each side don't look even, just wipe one away with your Q-tip and start over. Then connect the line to the dot, and you'll have a great cat eye. Now just finish with mascara.

What liquid eyeliner was used here?

Getting your cat eye tails to be at the same angle and the same length is hard! I put on eyeliner after all of my other makeup, so it sucks if I mess it up.

The tip about the dot is such a good idea!! I'm so gonna have to try that!! Now it won't be such a battle between me & liquid eyeliner

I have never had luck applying liquid (or regular) eyeliner. I loved that tip though about putting a dot and then connecting it to create the cat-eye look!! I'll be trying this today to see how I do!! Thanks for the tip!!
