The Classic Cat Eye & Red Lip Combo

Vintage accessories aren’t the only thing that never go out of style – the classic cat eye and red lips combination is a makeup mainstay that has spanned decades. With retro more popular than ever, I’m sharing my expert tips for the best cat eye and red lips to help you achieve this look, no professional makeup artist required.
The Classic Cat Eye & Red Lip Combo
  1. Begin by dotting black gel or liquid liner along the lash line. Always start from the inner corners and work your way way out.
  2. Next trace a thin line from the inner corner to outer and gradually thicken the line once you reach the middle of your pupil
  3. Slightly slant the liner upward and outwards once you reach the end of your lash line. (You can hold a piece of paper underneath towards your temple to ensure a straight line!)
  4. Line lips with a red pencil to keep the color from bleeding or fading.
  5. Fill in with a creamy formula that allows for buildable color, like Motives for La La Mineral Lipstick in Red Carpet.
