Locks of Love and Nexxus^® Salon Hair Care recently partnered for an online makeover contest encouraging women to tell them why they wanted to donate their hair to the charity. The winner, Brandi Landry, submitted an inspiring story that captured the hearts of the Nexxus Facebook community. As the contest winner, Brandi recently traveled from Louisiana to New York City for a hair cut and styling session with celebrity stylist and Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso.  With over 16-inches of hair donated, she certainly sent a lot of LOVE to Locks of Love.

Cat eyes can be created using eyeliner, eyeshadow or both together. How you do them is the key behind a big hit, or big miss. Adding Eyeliner gives them a more defined look, while an eyeshadow a softer, both are equally fabulous. Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks went for the liner-shadow duo, and the result was dramatic and sultry.

Tight Shot:

To get the look, start with a bronze-brown shadow and apply it to the eyelids, up into the crease, and extended to a point right under the ends of the eyebrows. The soft wash of color, gives the eyes a “who me?”sexy girlie look that is irresistible.

Christina’s cat eyes were finished by lining them with a waterproof black pencil, and applying on the top lid along the lashline, tapering the color towards the inner eye. Liner was applied underneath but only to the middle of eye and softer   towards the center.  A shimmery gold shadow was added along the inner corners to finish the look.

Do you love cat eyes like this, or do you skip the shadow and go straight for the liner version? Don’t forget to check out Mad Men on July 25th! Yay!!!
