#10/ EXAGGERATED CAT EYES

It is a look that provokes and suggests – it does not ask for permission. Before you make the mistaken assumption that cat eyes are only for the drama queens among us, let’s turn to the runways for some real world examples of wearable Cleopatra eyes.

We loved the mod schoolgirl liner at Alberta Ferretti, where the mood was more youthfully playful than vampy lady of the night. At Altuzarra, a different approach was taken as models strutted down the runways with anime-comic goddess lines that grazed the eyebrows.

At Cividini, a sparkling forest green under-eye cat eye look was urbane and cooler than thou. At Marc Jacobs, eyeshadow was fanned out to the temples for a gothic goddess feel. The extra graphic eyeliner at Kenzo fit the bill for the colder months!

Cat eyes

got a larger than life injection for the fall 2018 makeup trends. While a simple flick is eternally cool, dare to experiment with the exaggerated forms that captured the designers’ hearts this season.

The daring sentiment was popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Why? An exaggerated cat eye emboldens the wearer and transforms her into someone more vivid, experimental, and unconventional. It invites the wearer to become a more confident and gregarious

simulation of herself.
