This tutorial is designed to show you step-by-step how to line your upper lash line and wing out the liner subtly, which is typically called a cat-eye.
You will need: Liquid black liner of your choice, wash of a neutral, low-shimmer color of your choice , semi-matte darker brown for the crease (Soft Brown), and highlight color of your choice .
Brushes: 239, 219, 266/209
Brushes: 239, 219, 266/209

1. Start with a clean eye-space

2. Apply your wash of neutral eyeshadow onto your lid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush (like the 239).

3. Pull it outwards to be able to cover your entire lid area.

4. This is what it should look like. The color is only slightly lighter than natural lid color.

5. Apply your highlight color starting below the inner portion of the brow.

6. Pull the brow outwards along the underside of the brow, following its natural arch.

7. Using the 239, apply your semi-matte deeper brown into the outer crease.

8. Pull your brush outwards towards the outermost portion of the crease.

9. This is how it should look at this point.

10. Go back and gently brush out the crease color to blend it a bit.
Here are some additional tips for working with liquid liner:
- Try to rest your elbow onto the countertop so it can help steady your hands.
- Keep cotton swabs and eye makeup remover handy. Dip the cotton swab into the remover, and use it to erase any mistakes and make that line look even.
- Sometimes you may feel better lining in sections (think of three sections - inner upper lash line, middle upper lash line, and outer upper lash line), because you can slowly go through the process.
- Cheat your way through liquid liner by applying it first, and then putting eyeshadows on top. When you use black liquid liner, it is often quite apparent despite shadows falling on top of it. This way, you can just go back lightly to intensify the color afterwards, but you will have already gotten your perfect shape.

12. Taking your liquid liner brush and using the bottom lash line as a guide, act as if you are extending your lower lash line upwards by making a small flick.

14. This is how it should look.

15. Using the 219, apply your highlighter color to your inner tearduct. Also, apply black liner to your lower lashes if you wish.

17. This is how it should look right now.

18. Add your favorite mascara, and voila, you are finished.
