How to make an inverted cat eye

It is also important to complement this technique with expressive graphic eyebrows. They will help to balance the image and visually enlarge the eyes.

Step 3: creating a shape

To shape your makeup, take a softer-textured eyeliner pencil. Lightly trace the lower lash line with it, and then blend the product with a small brush. A universal option is to draw a wing on the lower eyelid, slightly protruding its end from the outer corner, and at the same time lift this edge up.

Step 4: applying powder

Once you have created the perfect shape, apply a little translucent powder on top of your makeup. It will hold the makeup in place and at the same time enhance the smoky effect.
