Make-up Trend: Subtle Cat Eyes

• The beauty and crispness of this look rely on the rest of the face. Make sure the brows are well defined. Your brows, lips and complexion are flawless supporting players to your cat eye.
  
  
• If you want a thick line, start small. Begin with one layer of liner, then add on to make the line heavier. It's easier to add on more liner than take it off.
  
  
• Any eye shape looks good in the subtle cat eye. But it's a hard look with a hooded lid, to give the eye a lift on the outer corner only, draw half a line that starts thinly from the middle of the eye and goes outward.
  
  
• Using a thin-tipped eyeliner brush, swipe it into a pot of liner and paint it across the lashline and flick it up at the end. This product can also be smudged for a smoky look. Rec: M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack

• It's less fierce than a cat eye that lines the entire eye, but it's equally sexy. Get a look like Rani Mukherjee's using a neutral shadow on the lid, then line the entire upper lid and extend the liner up a bit past the eye. For a more dramatic approach, make the line thicker towards the outer corner. Make a very small line on the outer-corner of the lower lashline and finish with mascara.
  
  
• If you have trouble achieving a flawlessly straight line, dot the lash line with liner, then connect the dots.
  
  
• This look instantly opens up the eye and can be worn with a bold lip or a more neutral one.
  
  
• The upward turn and extension of the eyeliner changes the shape of the eye.
