The Cat Eye

I am in London again and the cat-eye is everywhere, on both young and older women. I must admit it has been my favourite look for years, it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and the elegance that went  with. There are many ways to draw the line - a thin one to highlight ,  a long elongated one that lengthens the eye or a thick one that makes a bold statement. It all depends on the shape of your eyes and what looks best on you. For me I prefer the thick bold line and I like to use a good pencil that doesn't smudge rather than eyeliner just to make the line less harsh. If your lids touch the top of your brow bone though you might want to use a liner so you don't end up with a smudge in the crease....this tends to make the eyes look more panda than feline. A good pencil that doesn't shift much is the Nars eye pencil in black. And for a slightly different look I also use colored pencils and for this I use the  Shu Uemura range which is  great for staying in place... also the colours are quite beautiful.
Teamed up with a red lip, it's simple no fuss makeup, winter or summer.
