A Simple Winged Eye Look

During the holidays, many of us are attending parties and it’s nice to change things up for these special occasions. About a month ago, I saw a video filmed by Lisa Eldridge, makeup artist extraordinaire, where she showed a cat eye using powder eye shadow. The great thing about this look is that it is easy to do so I thought I would try it and show the every day woman (who is not a trained makeup artist) that it doesn’t require a special skill level to accomplish. Many women are put off by the cat eye because it often involves liquid eyeliner, small brushes and a lot of precision. For this look, though, if I can do it, so can you!

I filmed a video that I’m just now putting up on You Tube. Click below to watch!

The eye shadows I used here are:

Lorac Deep Purple (in the Pro Palette)
