Instead of creating a curved line that followed the eye shape, Maki drew her liner directly up from the edge of the top lashline to the crease and then halfway across the crease, making a square tip. Then, using a small brush, she smudged the pigment along the top lashline and slightly over the crease to soften the look.



Since big, round eyes like our model's tend to be able to handle a lot of makeup, she lined the waterline in black, and then swept a pop of pink along the bottom lashline. "Since your eyes are so big, you can pull off a dramatic look like this," she says. Plus, it looks like a badass, abstract cat-eye. Now, who are you calling cute?
