hey guys so for today's video we're gonna be doing a fun little eyeliner technique that i
saw on tiktok and it's called the reverse cat eye it's definitely not like a new technique
but personally i've never tried it before so i kind of wanted to just try it out with you guys
today on camera i always love trying to switch up my eyeshadow eyeliner technique because i
do kind of get stuck doing the same exact thing over and over and over so let's switch it up and
try something new so i first saw this trend on tick tock and i've never really seen it before
so i went straight to youtube to try to find like a tutorial on it and i found this video by
painted by spencer i've never watched his videos before but i'm kind of obsessed with him now and
he has a video that was posted three months ago called my signature reverse cat eye so i'm gonna
be kind of following his technique for this video today and i'm excited to try it because
it looks pretty easy pretty much the focus of the eyeliner is more on the lower lash line
instead of doing like your typical cat eye where you do a wing you know going this way you kind
of really smudge out the lower lash line with black and wing out the outer and inner corner
i think it's gonna look kind of cool so i'm gonna do this for the first time with you guys today
let's kind of play around with this and just have some fun so i already have all of my face
makeup down because all you're really gonna need is like an eyeliner and maybe a black eyeshadow
maybe a brown eyeshadow but nothing too fancy so on spencer's video he just kind of starts
out by placing a nice kind of light medium brown shade all over the lid just to add a
little bit of definition and depth to the lid so i'm gonna do that i'm just gonna take any brown
eyeshadow that i have near me so i'm actually gonna go into the michaela glam light palette
and i'm just gonna take gemini on a sigma e25 i'm gonna start by just dusting that all over my lid
and then i'm going to bring it into my crease and just slightly wing out this
eyeshadow
all right so i have that shade all over my lid and just very slightly wigged out
also going to add just a little bit of this shade along my lower lash line
all right now it's time to start the reverse cat eye so you want to take your favorite black
pencil liner and my favorite is the house labs eye coal in black this eyeliner is so pigmented
so creamy it goes on so easily and it stays for a while which is exactly what i want today and then
i'm also going to keep a little smudge brush handy with me so i'm going to take a sigma e21 this has
no product on it right now but pretty much we're going to take this black eyeliner and smudge it
along the entire waterline and the lower lash line so like right in between your lower lashes
and you want to get all the way into the inner corner right there now immediately
just going into my smudge brush i'm just going to start to smudge around
this eyeliner because this does dry pretty quick and once this liner is dry it won't
budge
now i'm going to switch brushes to a sigma l05 this is the e21 i was just using they have a
really similar shape you can see the lo5 is a lot thinner i'm gonna take the lo5 with no product on
it and i'm just kind of pulling out the liner as if i was making a wing and if you need more
product you can just add a little more black right here and take it on the brush and then pull it out
and then you do the same thing on the inner corner let me see if i can do this this part
i'm a little worried about kind of liking how this looks i think this lo5 definitely worked
well for doing that nice sharp line right there now i'm gonna go back to that e21 with more
gemini on it just that brown shade i've been using and i need to soften out this lower lash line
and i'm just kind of softening right here i'm not softening any part of either of these
two little wings now i'm gonna go back to my eyeliner and just tight line my top lash line
and i'm also gonna run right through my waterline one more time to make sure it's nice and dark
and that is pretty much it now let's do the other eye
now switching to the lo5
and then again taking more of my brown shade on my smudge brush
i think i want to add just a tiny bit of a black eyeshadow so again just using my e21
and i'm just touching up the area like in between my lower lashes with this black
just making it a little bit deeper
and then tight lining along my top lash line all right and that is pretty much it for the
eyeliner i'm going to pop on some mascara and lashes let's finish up the face and then we'll
go over my final thoughts all right here are the eyes all done i just popped on a little half lash
this eye looks a lot better than this one so don't judge this eyelash all right and here is what the
face looks like zoomed out so you can kind of see what everything looks like i just need to finish
up the lipstick really quick and actually this new lipstick actually it's not new it's a lipstick
i've never tried before it's the ysl rouge velup shine oil in stick lipstick and i found
this through this app called glam ai who is kindly sponsoring this part of the video so a glam ai is
like a beauty assistant it analyzes the reactions of beauty lovers and based on the ai analysis of
crowd data it can provide a personalized beauty recommendations based off of your needs the app
also gives you in-depth details on products such as ingredients fitting color tones safety callouts
and more so i've been looking for a new sheer lipstick that's like hydrating feels super creamy
and like i said i found this ysl lipstick through a glam ai so let me kind of walk you through the
process of how i found the right lipstick for me so i went into the glam ai app and i used the epic
feature i knew i wanted a lipstick and i wanted a lipstick for every day i wanted a glossy look
kind of like a soft glam look as well also for every day a concern i have is dry lips i
wanted the lipstick to feel buttery smooth and i wanted it to glide on easily i also wanted it to
be nourishing like you can see there's so many options to pick through of what your needs are
and of course intensely hydrating and i just searched using those tastes and it gave me
a bunch of options for lipsticks to choose from so like i said i picked the ysl rouge blup shine
lipstick balm and right through the glam ai app you can select which color you want so i decided
on number 44 a pinkish brown and what's really cool about the glam ai app is that you can buy the
product directly through sephora so i clicked on sephora and it brought me directly to the sephora
app i added the lipstick to my cart and i checked out so it was super easy for me to find this
lipstick that should be perfect for me based on my tastes so let's try it out ysl packaging is just
so beautiful here is what the color looks like oh it has a little smell to it very fruity
oh my gosh it feels so good
oh my gosh i actually glide it on so easily i like that it's just a sheer wash of color like this is
literally what i wanted the color is a little bit more pink than i would typically go for
but i don't really have anything like this color and i think it's pretty for summer
but anyways i think the glam ai app is super fun it's easy to use
especially if you need any product recommendations i've also been using the app just to kind of like
browse around and just see what people are saying and loving about products and if you want to check
out the glam ai app i'll leave a link down below for you but let's finish up and talk about my
final thoughts on this eye makeup look honestly i think it's like super sexy looking i love a heavy
black eyeshadow look especially just on the lower lash line like i really like how this looks and it
actually was really easy to do i think if you're someone that has hooded eyes and has like issues
doing a cat eye i think this can be a really good technique for you because you can still get that
like elongated eye look but without you know trying to put a wing over the fold of your eye
all you got to do is just a little slight wing off the lower lash line you don't even have to do the
inner corner part if you don't want to but i like this you could also do this with like a fun pop of
color too if you wanted like a bright blue would be so pretty or like a green or purple oh so cute
but you definitely just have to be comfortable with wearing a lot of product on your lower lash
line i know that a lot of people don't really like this look sometimes but i like it on me so i hope
