Makeup Artist Robert Jones show us how to do a modern "Cat Eye", using Adele as his inspiration. To watch him do the eyeliner, skip ahead to about 6 minutes in. It's worth watching the entire process, though. He also applies false eyelashes.
Note that Robert does not apply foundation or concealer below the eyes until AFTER most of the eye makeup is complete. This is done so that any stray eye makeup under the eye gets cleaned up, & the raccoon
effect is avoided.
The Cat Eye will have to be done a little bit differently on everyone, to allow for individual eye shapes, but here are some general tips:
When you watch the video, you'll see that makeup brushes are very important to the application. Robert sells his own brushes at http://www.robertjonesbeautyacademy.com, and Mary Kay has a great professional quality Brush Set with organizer bag for only $55.00. I'll admit to you that I've been known to pick up the odd brush at Target!
Obviously, any brand of makeup will do, but Mary Kay is what I offer. Mary Kay stands behind its products 100%, so if ever you're not satisfied, I'll fix it with a refund or exchange.

For the eye shadow, I recommend combining the Mary Kay Cream Eye Colors of Pale Blush and Beach Blonde, and then topping that with Sweet Cream Mineral Eye Color to acheive an opaque color.
For the eye liner, start with MK's Black Eye Liners, and then go over it with a liner brush dipped in Coal Mineral Eye Color, which is a powder. Or try MK's Liquid Eyeliner Pen or Black Gel Eyeliner for a dramatic line.

The Cat Eye will have to be done a little bit differently on everyone, to allow for individual eye shapes, but here are some general tips:
- The tip of the wing should go up to the outer edge of the crease, following an imaginary line from the corner of the eye to the proper end of the eyebrow.
- If your eyebrows end too soon, extend them with a pencil. Click here to see how to shape your eyebrows.
- The outer end of the midtone (the color just above the crease) should meet the outer end of the wing. For Ivory & Beige skin tones, I usually use Hazelnut or Driftwood Mineral Eye Color. For Bronze skin tones, I'd use Driftwood or Espresso. These shades are all mattes.
