16 Celebrity Cat Eyes to Inspire Your Makeup Routine

The post 16 Celebrity Cat Eyes to Inspire Your Makeup Routine appeared first on My Cat Lady.

We get why once you’ve mastered the cat eye you’d want to stick with your practiced methods. The ultra feminine look is one of the hardest beauty techniques to perfect, and so once you get your liner to come to that ideal tip, whether it’s a quick flick or a sweeping wing, we get why you’d think you’re good. But that’s not counting for the inevitable: seeing your favorite celebs wearing a different, dreamy-as-ever cat eye, and needing to know how it looks on Y.O.U. That’s just the reaction we’re hoping for with this post, one that will ultimately help you come out of your cat eye comfort zone to try one of these brand-new looks on your face. So consider yourself warned: these stars will have you reaching for your liner.

1. Daytime Cat Eye

This wear-everywhere look is cat eye 101. Just the smallest of swipes can make any fresh-faced look instantly polished. The tiny wing has the same pick-me-up for hair: just like that, Alexa’s messy strands look perfectly placed, and Lauren Conrad’s beachy waves appear flawlesss

2. Inky Cat Eye

If you’re looking to take the everyday cat eye to the next level, this inky version is it. With lids fully covered and the flick teased out just a bit further, it’s the perfect balance of daytime drama (especially with Ginnifer Goodwin’s colorful lip and bold chop) and nighttime elegance (paired with Olivia Wilde’s peachy smile and fancy updo).

3. Metallic Cat Eye

Set against the cat eye’s classic shape, metallic eye makeup looks decidedly fierce — definitely bookmark this twist for your holiday parties. Emma Stone’s glittering lower lash makes her otherwise traditional makeup look altogether glam, while Dakota Fanning’s silver liner sparkles against the stiff black flick to make a statement of its own.

4. Smokey Cat Eye

This is the cat eye at its sexiest — smoldering, sizzling and smokier than you’ve ever seen it. And it takes expert blending and masterful refining to ace this look. Though we have to admit, Vanessa Hudgens and Dianna Agron make it seem well worth the trouble.

5. Graphic Cat Eye

These ’60s-inspired eyes are all about the wow factor, from Nicole Ritchie’s winged shadow effect to Evan Rachel Wood’s homage to Twiggy. Consider this your secret-weapon statement look.

6. Color Cat Eye

If you’re *still* not convinced to stray from your go-to cat eye, you can at least swap out the traditional black when you’re feeling frisky. As you can see on Emmy Rossum, a subtle switch from balck to navy (or even brown!) still has a major effect. Or you can sub a more vibrant color for just the lower lash hue to punch it up Demi Lovato-style.

7. Winged Cat Eye

There’s no such thing as a too-bold cat eye — Rachel Bilson and Nicki Minaj prove that with their extra long wings. Thicker liner from crease to brow makes the look a serious statement — wear this sweeping version somewhere fun, like on a night out with the girls.

8. Glamorous Cat Eye

Take one look at Dita Von Teese and Angelia Jolie, and you’ll get why the cat eye is considered such a classic. No nod to decades past, no harsh geometry, just a strong, painted-on tip that reflects those gorgeously feathered lashes. When it comes to glamorous makeup, you just can’t beat this look.

So which cat eye are you going to try next? Tell us which look is your favorite in the comments below.

Are you a cat lady? Seattle area has 2nd-highest number in U.S.

As a 40-something single woman living alone with a cat, Jeanine Foucher is well aware of the negative stereotypes conjured up by that particular coexistence: a frumpy homebody without many friends — a spinster, even — the cliché of the “cat lady.”

“No, I don’t have framed photos of my cat around my apartment,” she laughs. “I’m more a dog person really … but somehow or other, I’ve wound up with cats.”


Foucher, a busy development and philanthropy professional, shares her Central District apartment with Nick, a neighborhood stray she adopted about five years ago. She had two cats at that point, but the other, Cleo, died a couple of years later.

If Foucher doesn’t pay much mind to the cat-lady stereotype, perhaps it’s because she bears no resemblance to it. For Foucher, an outgoing native New Yorker, weekends are booked with friends and urban activities. She’s also something of an exercise junkie — yoga, cycling, running and hiking.

And maybe it’s also because here in Seattle, there are so many women like her.

According to new market data from Nielsen Scarborough, nearly one in 10 single women in the Greater Seattle area lives alone with at least one cat — if that really counts as living alone. In the city itself, the numbers are even higher: one in eight.

That ranks Seattle second among the 50 largest U.S. market areas. We were just barely edged out of the top spot by — where else? — Portland.

The data reveal a kernel of truth behind one aspect of the cat-lady stereotype: Women are much more likely to have a pet cat than are men. Nationally, single-person cat households skew nearly 2-to-1 in favor of women, and that pattern holds true for Seattle.


Nielsen Scarborough surveyed 400,696 respondents nationwide — including 4,582 in King and Snohomish counties — on a wide range of lifestyle and consumer behaviors. The surveys were conducted between February 2013 and March 2015.

The appeal of cats to women, and the association of the feline with the feminine, is nothing new. Its roots go back to the mythologies of ancient Egypt and Greece. I spoke about it with Clea Simon, who’s written a book on the subject: “The Feline Mystique: On the Mysterious Connection Between Women and Cats.”


“It’s partly that society has seen women and cats together, and that’s a self-definition that we’ve picked up and that we like,” she says.

Simon points out that there are many more single women living in cities these days — in Seattle, more than 60,000 women live alone — and cats are the perfect urban pet. They do well in small spaces, and if a woman works long hours, she doesn’t have to worry about running home to walk the cat. “Having a dog is probably closer to having a child — there’s that level of care. Having a cat is like having an interesting roommate from another culture,” Simon tells me.

And she suggests that perhaps there’s also something on a deeper, more psychological level.

“Cats accept affection when they want it, but also have very clear boundaries. Women admire that. A lot of men might not get it, but setting boundaries can be an issue for us — society encourages women not to. I can’t tell you how many women have said to me: ‘I wish I could be more like my cat.’ ”

What’s harder to explain is why the percentage of women living with cats is so high here in the Pacific Northwest. I asked Foucher if she had any thoughts on it.

“I don’t know, but it seems like people out here are just really into cats in general — at least compared to back in New York.”


And the data support her hunch. According to Nielsen Scarborough, a Seattle-area household is almost twice as likely to contain a cat than one in the New York City area.
