Get Purr-fect Smokey Eyes

With all things feline crossing the seasons of this present year, from spring's cat-eye sunglasses and leopard shoes, to fall's printed bags, belts, leggings, and faux (or real) fur jackets, we've become somewhat obsessed with this trend. It is absolutely no surprise to us that the kitten-craze is spreading across faces, and we couldn't love it any more than we do. Trendsetters Leighton Meester and Kate Moss rocked this look and did so extremely well. We recommend trying it on your peepers ASAP so you too can fall in love with these purr-fect eyes this fall.

Yes, although DSquared2's F/W 2010 (centre) look is a little heavy and over-the-top, the look itself is definitely one worth practicing in order to get it just right. With a few slight tweaks here and there, the look is versatile depending on your own style, personality and preference (which are why it is so amazing). Feeling a little daring? Embrace the look of Leighton Meester: she chose a blend of liner and (extremely well blended) eye shadow to create a strong smoky cat eye. Similarly, Scarlett Johansson kept is smoky, catty and sweet: a dark thick liner extending outwards, blending into her lower lashline, with a diffused navy eye shadow. Still too bold for you? Not to worry. Take note from Kate Moss' much more subtle eyes, while still making a bold, statement- she is wearing a softly smoked cat-eye liner in a rich copper hue. In the same way, Rachel McAdams softened up the trend with a thin, dark eyeliner along her upper and lower lash line not extending beyond her lid, and a soft grey shadow on her lids to create the extended cat-eye look.

The final result is the same trend without being immensely intense. Whichever look you decide to embrace, the result will be nothing short of purr-fect.
