Makeup Look :: Cat Eye :: Kangana Ranaut - Double Dhamaal Premiere

I dont know if it's me.. but the IIFA 'Green Carpet' was kind of boring..
The ladies were either wearing a 'Smokey Eye' Look or Neutral Colors with Red Lips...

However, Kangana Ranaut wore a Cat eye with red lips for Double Dhamal Premiere in Toronto..
Though not ground breaking, it caught my fancy and I have re-created an inspired look below...

Face Primer - Body Shop 'Moisturise It' Primer
Foundation -  NARS Sheer Glow in Barcelona
Under Eye Concealer - Garnier Tinted Eye Roll On in Medium
                                     MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC40
Eye Primer - MAC Prem + Prime in Medium
Eye Shadows - Urban Decay Naked Palette Shades 'Virgin' 'Sin' 'Buck'
Liquid Eye Liner - Lakme Insta-Liner
Mascara - Loreal Telescopic Mascara
Lip Stick - Maybelline Color Sensational in Glamourous Red
Blush - MAC Matte Powder Blush in Raizin



Step 1:
Apply the All Over Lid Color evenly using any Eye Shadow Brush.
Deepen the crease of the eye using the Crease Shade for effect of Deep Set eyes.
Add Highlight Shade below the Eye Brow

Step 2:
Using a black eye shadow, Keep your eye open and trace a straight line from the lower lash line outwards as shown in the picture. Using a powder shadow will help you correct and redo the line unlike liquid liners.
Step 3:
Close your eye and join the straight line to the upper lash line. The shape should be somewhat like a triangle.
Step 4:
Start lining your eyes as you would do normally. But make the line little thicker.
Step 5:
After you are confident of the shape of the line, you can choose to darken the line using a liquid liner. Swipe Mascara onto the lashes not upwards but in the direction of the Cat eye wing to emphasize the shape.
Finish the look with a Red Lipstick and Blush on the cheeks  !! Here is the final look...




I enjoyed creating this look.. hope this was helpful...
