Beauty Trend 2015 – Reversed Cat Eye Makeup

The “Sahara Desert” theme inspired show of Nicholas K during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The pavilion at Lincoln Center on September 4, 2014 in NYC was truly mesmerising. The chic thick liner stole the show for us! We have seen a lot of cat eye make-up but this was fascinating. The upside down cat eye make-up was a refreshing change and the barely there make-up accentuated the natural beauty.

The stunning look was created for the MBFW Spring 2015. The focus was mostly on the inner corner of the eye with the make-up. The bare-faced matt look with sharp gel eyeliner on the inner corner recreated a typical cat eye but it was just reversed! There was a little of make-up on the eye-lid and everything else was below the lash line with some added volume mascara. The remaining look was very subtle and matte.

The urban wanderer look was well balance and had a strong connect. The simplicity of the eye make-up was unique yet very impactful. The lips were of a natural colour leaving the focus only on the eyes.

This look can be created for any evening get-togethers or for clubbing. It is definite that you will attract some eyeballs. It is a simple and effortless look which can easily be recreated anytime!

How to get this dramatic eye-liner look:
