M∙A∙C Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline can be added for extra drama. Brush the eyebrows upwards using M∙A∙C Clear Brow Set.
Apply a generous amount of M∙A∙C Haute & Naughty Mascara to the top and bottom lashes, ensuring every lash is coated. Apply M∙A∙C Cremeblend Blush in Something Special to the cheeks which will give a natural flush of colour.

Step by Step
This look has a 60s feel to it with a modern feline edge. Start by massaging M∙A∙C Prep + Prime into the skin. Follow by buffing M∙A∙C Face and Body Foundation all over the face with a #187 Duo Fibre Brush.
Next, apply M∙A∙C Paint Pot in Bare Study to the eyelid and blend up to the brow. A #252 Large Shader Brush will ensure a quick and smooth application. Using a #239 Eye Shading Brush, press M∙A∙C Eyeshadow in Yogurt all over the eyelid and blend towards the brow. Take M∙A∙C Eye Kohl in Smolder and draw a soft line through the eye socket line. Using a #219 Pencil Brush, blend over the Eye Kohl to blur out any hard lines, heading out towards the ear which will create a feline effect.
Using M∙A∙C Fluidline in Blacktrack with a #211 Pointed Liner Brush, create a smooth black line along the upper lash line. This should flick up at the outer part of the eye to almost connect to the socket line. A small amount of Eye Kohl in Smolder can be applied to the lower lash line and softened with a #219 Pencil Brush. To complete the eye look add the kohl to the water line which will add more depth to your mascara.
Finish the eyes by adding a few generous coats of M∙A∙C Zoom Waterfast Lash Mascara to both the top and bottom lashes. Apply M∙A∙C Eye Brows using light strokes to add definition to the brows. For the lips, apply M∙A∙C Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Dress it Up. This gorgeously creamy tone will stay put and look beautiful for hours!
