What’s The Reverse Cat Eye?
As the name suggests, the reverse cat eye is done by putting the eyeliner on the lower part of the eye and no longer on the top eyelid. Even easier to achieve than the traditional method, this eyeliner trend consists of applying your liner line flush with the lower lashes, like a kohl line, to emphasize the look. The result is a glamorous, sexy, and very eye-catching look. Of course, don’t hesitate to adapt this trend as you wish: vary the colors, styles, and line thicknesses.
You can choose to draw a simple line across the lower lash line or add a wing for a stylish cat-eye effect. For an even bolder look, you can apply eyeliner both below and above the eye. However, it is important to remember that it will make your eyes appear smaller. You can also combine this look with eye shadow or keep it more understated. The choice is all yours! Black quickly becomes too harsh for people with smaller eyes or fairer skin. However, it is best to go for brown or lighter colors, such as pink when experimenting with this look. Also, another option is to use eye shadow to draw the line so that it doesn’t look too intense.
