Here's Why You Should Try A Reverse Cat Eye
Daniel Cobb
While reverse cat eyes can look cool in "reel life" on Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts, the real question is whether you can pull off this look in real life for your next brunch date with the girls. According to Refinery29, it isn't an easy look to replicate in the first place. Additionally, because the look depends on a kohl pencil, reverse cat-eyes are not particularly long-wearing.
However, Refinery29 still recommends trying the trend out for a quick outing like brunch or dinner/drinks, rather than relying on the look to last through long and/or important events like a festival or a gala. It's guaranteed to get plenty of compliments from your girlfriends the next time you go out for bottomless mimosas.
To replicate the look, start out by using a creamy pencil eyeliner like Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer and line your lower lid with it. Use an angled eyeliner brush to smoke out the end of the line into a soft cat-eye. Use a liquid eyeliner to add a mini flick to the inner corner of the eye, and finish the look by tightlining the upper lashline with a thin line of eyeliner. If you tend to get oily undereyes, then setting the liner with black eyeshadow will help prevent any smudging. Apply false lashes or mascara, and you're all set with a glam look that is 'gram-worthy.
