Lucy Hale’s Navy Cat Eyes

Who: Lucy Hale

The Expert: Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali (Twitter: @VanessaScali)

The Look: Navy cat eyes

The Tip:

1. Start with a bright, flawless canvas. Apply a lightweight foundation just where you need to cover any imperfections. (Vanessa used Tom Ford Traceless Foundation on Lucy.).

Use a bit of concealer under your eyes, and on the inner hollow of your nose (next to the inner corner of your eyes). (Vanessa likes Giorgio Armani Maestro Eraser’ Dark Circle Concealer).

2. Give your cheeks a sun-kissed glow by applying a creamy blush to the apples of the cheeks and blending outward toward your cheekbones. (Vanessa used Mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Cheeky.)

Put layer on a pinky bronzer under your cheekbones, blending up and in toward the apples of your cheeks.

3. Apply a shimmery champagne eyeshadow all over your eyelids, blending off at the top of the eyebrow and extending outward to elongate your eyes.

Use a taupe shimmer in the crease of your eyes and under your bottom lashes. (For Lucy’s look, Vanessa used both colors from Mark On The Dot Neutral Eye Color Compact).

4. Line your eyes with navy liner, creating a thinner line on the inside corner or your eye and gradually making it thicker as you move toward the outside corner of your eye.

(Vanessa used Mark No Place to Run Waterproof Eyeliner in Navy Seal.) Extend past the natural line and flick the liner out to create the cat eye look.

5. For added depth and edge, line the base of the lashes with black liquid liner. Finish with a few generous coats of mascara. (Vanessa used Lancôme Hypnose Drama in Excessive Black.) 

6. Use a soft eyebrow pencil to define and shape your brows. (Vanessa likes Givenchy Eyebrow Show Powdery Eyebrow Pencil.)

7. To balance out the strong eye, keep your lips looking natural. Use a pink lip color (like Mark Make It Rich in Punch), and finish with a touch of gloss in the middle of your lips.
