Purr-fect Eyeliner
A pretty and easy look to pull off for summer, the subtle cat eye was recently spotted on runways for Christian Cowan, Retrofête, Valentino and Max Mara, and on Miley Cyrus at the 2024 Grammys. “A subtle cat eye is a great way to amp up a daily makeup look without it looking or feeling too heavy or [over]done,” says Toronto-based makeup artist Sabrina Rinaldi. To achieve this look, Rinaldi likes to use a kohl eye pencil to create a line and subtly smudge it outward. Using kohl will allow you to clean up the edges of your line. (Without a kohl base, powder can be messy and liquid can be runny and/or set too fast.) Rinaldi then intensifies and sets the liner with a super pigmented powder eye shadow or a liquid eyeliner formula. “Powder gives a softer overall look, whereas liquid is sharper and more classic (and tends to last longer),” she says.
Clockwise from top left: Makeup artist Kanako Takase created this subtle cat eye for Retrofête’s AW24 show. Makeup artists Lori Taylor Davis and Donniela Davy created this elegant look for Christian Cowan’s AW24 show.
