Secret Tip for Easy Cat Eye

The cat eye is a beautiful way to add drama to your look. However, it can be very tricky to make each side symmetrical and even. I recently found an awesome video that teaches a super simple trick to get the perfect cat eye every time. The secret ingredient is shockingly scotch tape. I tried it and it really does work. She recommends in the video to put the tape on your clothes first to get rid of some of the stickiness. I would do this a couple of times so you don't mess up the rest of your eye makeup. My scotch tape was still pretty sticky after I stuck it on my clothes just once.
Since the cat eye is pretty dramatic I would recommend going pretty natural with the rest of your makeup. This would be the perfect look for a special event, night out with the girls or a hot date.

Hot Trend this Fall

One color that is hot this fall is Purple! Purple is a color that looks good with all eye colors. Now I am not talking about lavender, I am talking about deep purples. (Think eggplant or amethyst)

Now how do you pull it off. Well lets start with a small step, this is for those of you who are not quite sure you are ready to go all out with this. Try using a deep purple liner, this is something small that will give you a different look.

If you are a little braver, try doing a smoky eye with a deep purple. Try light at first and then you can go darker as you feel more comfortable. I would recommend using a silver or champagne color as your base color. If you try to use a light purple base color it can be a bit much.

Another way that you can use purple is on your lips. There are many pretty berry colors of lipstick or lipgloss. However try to stick to just one area of your face to use this color. So if you do lips don't do eyes and vice versa.

I have also seen alot of really pretty purple nailpolishes. I think it is a much more subtle alternative to black nailpolish.

This is definitely a trend that absolutely anyone can try. Have fun with it!
