Thank you Dua Lipa for the inspo because this cateye is eye-conic. That was cheesy, but you get it. The layered, dramatic effect of eyeliner looked so cool while Dua walked down the Versace runway. To achieve this look all you need is the Pat Mcgrath Mthrshp Mega: Celestial Odyssey Eyeshadow Palette, L’oreal Infallible Paints Eyeshadow in Mint Detox, and Makeup Forever Aqua Resist liner. Starting from the innermost part of the eye, take the Mint Detox color and follow the curve of your eye into a dramatic wing. Layer on top of the green with a blue color from Pat Mcgrath’s palette, and top the look off with a shimmery liner from Makeup Forever in the corner of the eye.

If you want a more subtle look but still a pop of color, this look is a perfect mix of that for you. Dotting the Epic Wear Liner in Blue Trip by NYX Cosmetics in the inner and outer corners of your eye will give your eyes a glow that you could never have imagined. Make sure to blend!

This is the neon of all neons… And a bit more involved than the other looks. Start by creating the outline of a winged liner with any black eyeliner. Smudge the edges before it sets until it is a soft shade of black with a smoky effect. Next take a white cream shadow and create an outline in the center of your wing as shown above with the defined white color in the middle of it all. This is basically your white highlight. Taking the neon pink eyeshadow from Juvia's Place The Saharan Palette, smudge it all over the outline you have created so far. To enhance the white line, use Stila white liquid eyeliner. And that is the final look.

Anastasia Karanikolaou, Kylie Jenner’s best friend, and Kylie Jenner herself recently launched their own collection for Kylie Cosmetics. She is using the Stassie x Kylie blue liquid liner to create a sharp cat eye with a detached line mimicking the cat eye above it.

For a warm sunset eye, Morphe 3503 Fierce By Nature Artistry has all the colors you need to achieve this look. Taking a peachy shade, blend that all over your eyelid and into the crease. Then spread a neon pink-orange color into the inner corners of the eyes to the middle of your eyelids. For a smoky effect, take a brown color and blend from the outer corners of the eyes upward for a cateye shape. Continue with this color onto the lower lash line for a more blended look.

Emma Chamberlain's 2021 Met Gala makeup was not one to forget hence why we are writing about it now. Kelsey Deenihan Fisher used the Byredo Eyeshadow 5 Colors palette on Chamberlain and mixed the green and chartreuse color with a mixing medium to make the colors into a liner that outlined the upper lash line and inner corner. Followed with the green liner, the eyes were outlined and blended into a smoky look with a black shadow.
