Halloween Cat Makeup Tutorial : The Fierce Feline

The cat is a staple go-to Halloween look every year and we’ve added a charming twist to this timeless look. Stand out from the pack with elevated cat makeup that will be sure to dazzle all night long. The matching shimmering eyes and lips set adds a hint of elegance that sets this glamorous look apart from the rest. Follow this easy step-by-step tutorial for the purr-fect fierce feline makeup.

Steps for Makeup

Step 1: The Purr-fect Cat Eye

Grab a dense all-over eyeshadow brush and apply Colorqueen Eyeshadow in shades Ruler and Stunner on the lids and down to the corner of the eye. The colour should be rich and shimmery, perfect for a glamorous cat look. Next, it’s time for fool-proof cat shaped liner with Flash Cat Eye. Start with making a small triangle on the inner corner of the eye. Using this triangle as a starting point, line across your upper lashline and stop right at the outer corner. Take the stencil attachment that is included with the eyeliner and position the open part at the outer dge of the eye, laying flat against the skin. Fill in the stencil to draw the wing and voilà – flawless cat-shaped liner, in a flash!

Step 2: Shimmering Lips

A captivating cat look always calls for a bold red lip! Use Rouge Signature Matte Liquid Lipstick in shade I Am Worth It for a long-lasting statement lip. When the lipstick is semi-dried, take the same Colorqueen Eyeshadow used on your eyelids and pat the shimer ontop of your lips. 

Step 3: Fast & Fierce Whiskers and Nose

Use Flash Cat Eye again for the final touch of your feline look. Colour in the tip of the nose as well as a quarter way down the septum – resembling the shape of a mushroom. For the freckles, use the tip of the liner and make three small dots in the shape of a triangle on each side of the lower cheeks. Starting near the freckles, draw three short lines across the cheeks to create dainty whiskers.

Steps for Hair

Step 1: A Touch of Rose Gold Glamour 

To complete the glistening pink cat look, use Colorista 1-Day Spray in shade Rose Gold. This spray-on colour catches the light and gives off twinkling rose gold highlights, without the commitment of a permanent dye and washes out with just one shampoo.

Step 2: Prep & Section

Start with clean, dry hair and brush through to remove any knots which will ensure an even and smooth application. Separate your hair into the strands you want to colour. The more separated and smaller the strands, the more you will achieve an all-over balayage-style highlight.

Step 3: Ready, set, spray!

Shake the can well and spray onto your separated strands. Be sure to wait a few minutes so the hair can dry before styling.

Step 4: Showstopping Loose Curls

Use a 1¼ inch curling iron and curl your hair away from the face. Once you’ve achieved voluminous, shiny hair, top the look off with a pair of kitten ears!

Editor’s Tip

To kick-up the glam factor, use Infallible 24HR Eyeshadow in Endless Pearl in the corner of the eyes and on top of the cheek and collarbones. Don’t forget to lock in the look with Infallible Pro Setting Spray to keep your makeup fierce and shimmering, from dusk ‘til dawn!
