Updated on February 26, 2016
Classic cat eye makeup looks good on any and every woman, no matter the shape or color of their actual eye. From chic black to glittered all over, there are so many different ways to duplicate this embellished beauty look for yourself. And here are 25 different how-to tutorials for creating the perfect cat eye right at home for every workday, date night or weekend adventure.
1. Classic
Divine Caroline gives us a video tutorial and some great tips on creating a classic, cat eye look that you’ll be able to use for all occasions. Everyone deserves to learn how to make this look work for them.
2. Winged
Similar to the classic cat eye with a more delicate and lesser swoop, this subtle and fierce look can be replicated at home with the help of You’re So Pretty.
3. New Year’s
Of course, this look can be used for other special events – any where you’d like a dabble of glitter to adorn yourself with! Check out LuLu’s for the know-how on this smokey, glittering beauty.
4. Natural
I Make You Smile gives us a chic and clean cat eye look filled with a natural bit of color right on the lids. It gives the bolder makeup technique a bit of a softer appeal and not as striking as others on the list.
5. Delicate
Here’s a delicate and feminine cat eye perfect for those that are a bit scared to head into the bold underworld of dramatic and fierce makeup. It’s a quick and easy how-to that’s perfect for novice makeup-doers. Check it out at Camille Styles.
6. Stamped
Yes, you can even create a simple little stamp to get that soft, winged look that you’re in love with but can’t seem to get the pencil or brush to recreate. Check out XOVain for all the details!
7. Teal
Keiko Lynn created a striking and beautiful cat eye with the help of some teal liquid liner! Hop on over to her blog and check out the Makeup Monday how-to post.
8. Kitten
This is another delicate look that’s known as the “kitten” eye since it’s a bit more understated than the classic cat eye. Check out Keiko Lynn again for the 4-1-1 on how to make this happen for yourself.

Do something really funky like The Beauty Department did and totally flip your cat eye look upside-down! It’s a bit more eclectic and funky for those that like to experiment with their looks.
17. Thickened
Byrdie gives us several ideas on how to upgrade a classic cat eye look and this is one of the most bold and fierce of styles. Thicken it up a bit and add a pop of glitter too!
