7. Craft the cat-eye with a spoon
A spoon can be an intriguing tool to achieve a smudge-free cat-eye look. This simple tip is perfect for beginners learning the art of eyeliner. Just use the handle of the spoon to draw a straight line, securing the tail of the eyeliner. Then, utilize the spoon's curvature to draw a soft line for the cat-eye tail.
How to use a spoon to craft the cat-eye:
- First, position the spoon handle at the tail of the eye, angled towards the eyebrow tail
- Use the spoon handle to cross over the tail of the eye as shown
- Use an eyeliner pen to draw a thin line along the spoon handle, approximately 2-3mm
- Take advantage of the spoon's curve to make the cat-eye tail thicker
- Add an additional thin line at the tail of the eye as shown


8. Line the lower eyes with white eyeliner for a bigger, rounder look
If your upper eyelids are drooping, draw a bold white eyeliner line on the lower lids to create an effect that makes your eyes appear much larger and rounder. This is a fantastic trick for those with small, single-lidded eyes who want a style change. It's also highly effective for those feeling tired and wanting to brighten up their sleepy eyes.
How to line the lower eyes with white eyeliner:
- After using a black watercolor pen to draw close to the lash line, use a white pencil to line the upper and outer edges of the eyes for the desired beautiful eyes.
- Another simple way to enhance brightness and size is to use your fingertip to lightly dab silver eyeshadow, then gently draw along the lower lash line.


9. Layer sparkling eyeliner for a party-ready look
Sometimes, when you have an impromptu party to attend, draw shimmery eyeliner over the earlier black eyeliner for dazzling eyes while still confidently rocking the party. Additionally, you can apply a coat of mascara to slightly dampened lashes, then use a glitter eyeliner pen to directly trace over the lashes, creating a luminous effect for those elaborate makeup events.
If it's a significant celebration, consider outlining bold cat-eye tails following the instructions above to enhance the sharpness of your eyes. Remember to add contact lenses for larger, brighter eyes and an illuminated face.


10. Draw an eyeliner line with single-lidded eyes without being too thick
If you have monolids or droopy eyelids, avoid drawing a thick eyeliner line as it can make your eyes appear unbalanced, heavy, and lifeless. Thick eyeliner can make your eyes look smaller and older.
Principles for drawing eyeliner for monolids:
- Don't apply too much eyeliner on the lower lash line, as it can easily smudge and make your eyes look even smaller
- Avoid drawing eyeliner too close to the eyelid (for those with eyelid tape)
- Avoid using liquid eyeliner for the lower lash line
- Avoid applying too much eyeliner at the corner of the eye
- Don't just draw eyeliner for the lower lash line without lining the upper lash line. This can make the eyes look imbalanced and awkward.
