LOOK 4: Feather your brows

LOOK 6: The sultry fox-eye

While the cat-eye focuses on the eyelid, the fox-eye creates an elongated eye shape, to make the eyes look bigger. You can use any eyeshadow colour. Start at the edge of lower lash line and draw a line outwards. Blend the eyeshadow inwards to create an elongated shape and finish with liquid liner to outline the wing.

A shimmery eyeshadow in a warm hue, such as terracotta, works great as a standalone colour on a bare face. To add even more depth, sweep a darker shade on the lower lash line.
