Rock The Trend

Eye makeup trends inspired from cats’ eyes to fish tails… here’s how you can have fun with your eyeliner.

UK singer Amy Winehouse’s very eccentric style made her a standout.

Looks really good on Chinese models — Hye Park & Du Juan, when they have those exotic single eyelid sparkles.

How to get the look:

                                     …backstage at Prada

1. Begin with flawless foundation, precisely apply concealer under eyes, and shading and highlighting to bring out temples, cheekbones and define jaw.
2. Start to define your eyes with a light shadow all over your mobile lid- blend this color from your lids softly up to your browbone, as your base shadow.
3. Work a deeper shade into your contour to create a defined socket, and blend this shadow along your crease, – the trick here is to continue blending this shade upwards and outwards -this shadow creates a guide for your eyeliner.
4. Finish your eyeshadow with a touch of subtle shimmer as a highlight under the arch of your eyebrow.
5. The dramatic eyeliner is the essential part of the look – trace a black liquid eyeliner right along your lashline – the line tapers away to nothing on the innermost corner and goes straight along your lashline to the outer corner. Keep the line smooth and strong. At the outer corner, flick your eyeliner brush (very carefully) upwards and outwards – aim the line toward the middle of your temple, tapering the outer edge of the eyeliner to a fine end (not a thick square end – this looks too heavy).
6. To really emphasize your cats eyes, add false lashes to the outer 1/3 of your lashes, and this will really bring out your extended liner (snip off 1/3 of a strip lash or use a few fanned individual lashes), and apply 2-3 coats of mascara on top lashes only.

Remeber to keep the rest of the makeup neutral— a light sweep of blush & pale lipcolours will do the trick.

In fact, I don’t really recommend this ‘fish-tail’ eyeliner trend.

It’s not ready for streetwear but it looks good for a dramatically sophisticated look. Even classics like Chanel couture used it for their latest runway show.

It’s really important to have a liquid black eyeliner nowadays, don’t you agree?
