Cat eye lashes refer to a style of applying false eyelashes or mascara that mimics the shape and effect of a cat’s eyes. This style is characterized by the following features:
Longer Outer Lashes: The lashes gradually get longer towards the outer corners of the eyes, creating an elongated, lifted effect that resembles the shape of a cat’s eyes.
Winged Look: The outer lashes often have a winged appearance, enhancing the overall feline look. This can be achieved with both false eyelashes and specific mascara application techniques.
Dramatic and Defined: Cat eye lashes are typically more dramatic and defined compared to natural lash styles. This means they are often fuller, thicker, and more noticeable.
Complementary Makeup: This lash style is frequently paired with cat eye eyeliner, which involves a winged eyeliner look that complements the extended, lifted effect of the lashes.
Variety of Styles: Cat eye lashes come in various styles, from subtle and natural to bold and voluminous, allowing for different levels of drama depending on the occasion and personal preference.
When applying cat eye lashes, the focus is on enhancing the outer corners of the eyes to create that signature feline appearance. This can be done using individual lash clusters, strip lashes that are longer on the outer edge, or by using a specific technique with mascara and an eyelash curler.
