![]() Sweep an orange pigment (or eye shadow) across both lids “using a windshield wiper motion,” says Bartlett. With the same eyeliner, lightly outline just above and below the lips to add more detail (and give them a more voluptuous look). Next, draw in some freckles and whiskers around the mouth. Using a black gel eyeliner, fill in the tip of the nose and just underneath the nostrils, above the center of your upper lip. Repeat around the forehead and along the chin. Then, using the same brush, create very deliberate brush strokes, starting near the ears and angling toward the mouth. With a dual-fibered brush and black pigment, shade along the hollows of your cheekbones to create dimension. Load a medium-sized brush with orange pigment and apply it where you’d normally contour (like the cheekbones, in the hollows of the cheek, along the forehead). Next, using an angled makeup brush and black pigment, sketch in your brows with upward strokes so they’re big and bushy. (Kelli used MAC Chromacake in three shades to create this look, but you can get a similar effect with one of those makeup palettes from Halloween stores.) ![]() Next, you want to paint a base layer of white pigment all over the face. “When applying heavy costume makeup like this, it’s important to prep the skin with a hydrating primer to create a barrier between your skin and the pigment,” advises Kelli Bartlett, artistic director at Glamsquad. Pro tip: Apply a pink lipstick along the inner nostrils for a sweet, kitten effect. ![]() Finish the look with a smattering of black and white freckles around the mouth. Fill in the upper lip with the pencil before drawing a few whiskers in upward and outward strokes. With the same black eyeliner, trace around the upper and lower lips extending the upper corners with a tiny flick at the ends (like a smirking Cheshire Cat). Then, using a waterproof black eyeliner, fill in the very tip of your nose and around your nostrils, leaving the insides clean. After applying your foundation, sweep a bronzing powder (or a concealer in a slightly darker shade) underneath your cheekbones and around the perimeter of your face. Add a pearlescent shadow along the bottom lashline to finish. To further emphasize your feline gaze, take a white eyeliner pencil and trace over your tear ducts for a bright pop. For the inner ducts, extend the line in toward the nose and connect the lines from top to bottom. Using a black gel eyeliner, trace all the way across your lash line starting at the inner corners and ending the flick just beyond the tails of your brows. Now that we’ve got your lids prepped, it’s time for the cat eye itself. Next, apply a peachy-pink shadow over the creases and blend up toward your brows to add warmth. Then, using another eye shadow that’s two to three shades darker than your complexion, sweep it over the creases to add a soft definition to the lids.
