The Cat Eye Make-up Trend

The cat eye look on winged eyeliner is a vintage make-up trend which seems to have made a huge comeback. 

Cat eyes and red lips are one of the hottest trends.

It helps enhance the eyes and creates a sensual feline look. This type of make-up is appropriate for all eye shapes and looks great on everyone.
It is a make-up which can be worn casually as well as for more formal occasions, because of it's simplicity and style.

The winged eyeliner style is a retro style which takes you back to the 1950's glam. The make-up still keeps it's originality, style and sensuality, the three key factors to a flawless make-up look. No wonder Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn were considered to be very sexy and feminine. This type of make-up looks best on powerful, confident and women who know how to exploit their femininity to the max.

There are a variety of eyeliners you can use to enhance your eyes, like eyeliner pencils, liquid eyeliner, gel eyeliner, kohl and eyeshadow. A minimum skill level is required in order to create this beautiful cat eye make-up style. The more you practice the more perfect and flawless the eyeliner will be applied.

This type of make-up is very versatile because not only it can enhance the natural facial features of women, it can also make the eyelashes appear thicker and longer, a desired effect most women want to achieve when it comes to make-up.

The winged eyeliner was present on the runways this fall season. People seem to have fallen in love with retro fashion and pin-up girl style. This type of make-up matches perfectly with the fashion styles of the modern world because they are also retro or vintage influenced. All the designs are meant to accentuate femininity and this is what this type of make-up wished to accentuate as well.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK

To get this look use the eyeliners own brush or an angled brush if it doesn't have one, for a precise application and better blending. Start with a thin line from your inner corner of the eye and gradually increase the thickness of the eyeliner as you move towards the outer corner of the eye. As you approach the outer corner of the eye move slightly in an upward direction to create the wing or the cat eye effect.
You can line only the upper lid for a cool retro look or you can line the lower lid as well for a more glamorous and sophisticated look.
Curl your lashed and top them with one or two coats of mascara for better eye definition. 

 Famous Women now days wears this make up very often...

TRY it Out Now- U won't regret it!!! :)

Wedding Day

Here comes the Bride ....

You’ve dreamt of this day for years. You’ve chosen a beautiful setting, picked out a sumptuous menu, and the perfect dress to marry the man of your dreams, so don’t trust your makeup, hair and nails to just anyone.

I have read that girls is buying more expensive cosmetic to put it on on their special day that they shouldn't have to spend  lots of their money visiting specialists.

I would like to say just one thing- Its not the price of your mascara that makes u look better, its not the brand of your eyeshadows that allows u to create perfect look on your special day - more expensive  things does not teach u how to do it perfect- if u did not know how to put make up u wont do it better with more expensive things. 

But when u go to your stylist, hairdresser, makeup artist .. be ready- search for looks u like  in internet and print out the picture.. U will be abel to show how would u want to look like :)

And no one will be disappointed ..

Nude make up

BOLD make up

 

There is so many different looks how u can dress up on your wedding day- u just have to know what u want :)
