Layering liners. I’ve been doing this a lot lately because 1) it’s fast (since you don’t have to be terribly precise or do any razzle-dazzle complicated eyeshadow blending) and 2) because it lets you unleash the full fury of your creative side by conjuring up all sorts of fun finishes.
For this look, I drew a baby cat eye flick on my upper lash lines with a black felt tip pen liner, then ran a glittery bronze liner right along the edge for sparkle.
Next, I lined my lower lash lines with a pearly bronze pencil liner, smudged the edges, and topped it off with the same glittery bronze liner I used on the upper lash line.
I also defined my lids with a quick sweep of orange-brown eyeshadow, but that was totally optional. You could skip it and just wear liner, and do your brows and mascara, for a complete eye look.
One last thing: my feline flicks are pretty subtle here because I wore this to work, but if you’re going to a par-tay or other to-do, you could go bigger and bolder with your cat eye flicks. Or, you could pat EVEN MOAR GLITTER on your lids.

P.S. TGIF! ?
Pretty! And that lipstick is gorgeous on you! Happy friday!
I love the alliteration and the lip! 🙂 The flicks and glitter also look great on you. Subtly festive! Happy Friday!
I love it and I can tell you’re rearing to go with the holiday looks! Still trying to figure out how to do this with my changing, foldy, lids now. lol…. A good hint that I got from Aly Art was to draw in the “last eyelash.” It seems to work as it emulates the shape of the eyelashes as it relates to the eyelid and is in a natural place, being part of the eyelashes.
Also, inspired by your past posts, I’ve started tight-lining with colored liners and then going over them again with black. I love the layering effect and want to try more colors!
Have a great upcoming trip to da island! 😉
Love this look! So wearable but also feels special and festive! Thanks for the idea!!
I love this look! I’m addicted to my wings so this would be a good way to mix it up.
Happy Friday indeed!
What is the trick to doing the flick at the ends? I have yet to master this.
Love this easy but fancy look ?
I like that one for work looks – a little bit of everyday glam.
