Kate Middleton, or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, as she is also called, made a ring of eyeliner around her eyes that looked simply perfect at the royal wedding of the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips and rugby player Mike Tindall over the weekend. Here’s how she did it.

First, she didn’t go for a jet-black eyeliner pencil, instead she used a powder shadow in charcoal which she applied with a slightly dampened eyeliner brush to ensure staying power.  She softened the color by sweeping a wash of chocolate brown shadow over the liner. On her lower lids the liner isn’t on the inner rim, instead she applied the color along her bottom lashline.  This not only makes her eyes look bigger, but it keeps the look from getting too smoldering.

Here’s a few products to check out if you’re thinking of copying Kate’s eyeliner:

A very smart move on her part was not to add anything shimmery.  Best suited for a night-time look, and not in the daytime which is when this photo was taken. Yay for Kate!

Do you ever fancy wearing ladylike eyeliner around your entire eye like Kate’s seen here? Or do you prefer yours to be sultry and come-hither?  Please dish.

Getting graphic cat-eye liner just right can be a bit of a task—but you wouldn’t know it from newlywed Kate Moss’s pitch-perfect version that she rocked at an art opening last week in London.  Kate’s secret to her super sexy eyeliner is the cat eye stencil from the Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit.  If you’re going free hand, a few easy tweaks using this cat eye stencil can help you hone your technique.

Kate Moss perfects the cat eyeliner

First, hold the cat eye stencil over your eyelid at an angle, pointing slightly upward, and applying very gentle pressure with your eyeshadow brush as you sweep the color along the cat eye shape.  Holding the stencil away from the eyelid will create a thicker line, and closer to the eyelid a thinner line. When you’re done,  you can go over the shadow with a gel eyeliner in the same color to set your eyes and keep them from smudging.

Thinking of creating sexy cat eyeliner like Kate’s?  Here’s a few products that will help you get the look with ease.

When it comes to sexy eye makeup, it doesn’t get easier than this look seen here on Olivia Wilde. Check it out for yourself:

“Olivia has the perfect eyes for anything feline,” says celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender. They turn up ever so slightly so just a light dusting of a gray eyeshadow on her upper lids is all she needs.

It’s all about the gray when creating this smoldering, sexy look. To do on yourself Beth suggests using a medium size eyeshadow, or eyeliner brush, and very carefully sweep the color along the eyelids only. A shimmer or matte shadow will both work. Adding anymore color might end up looking too heavy so be careful while applying.

Finish by applying a gel eyeliner in Onyx or Gunmetal along the lashline, following the natural curve of your own eyelid. And last curl your lashes, and follow with two generous coats of black mascara.

Here are some eyeliner kits from Beth Bender Beauty that’ll get you there:

 

 

Cheers!!

When you’re Angelina Jolie, you can do the cat eye look anytime you like, and look perfect in any setting. Others like myself can go a little overboard, and end up with a cat eye that is way too thick, and way too dark. But here’s a tip for softening the look, as seen on Angelina here on the RC yesterday.

With all of the hype around the royal wedding we decided to lets things quiet down before sharing a little beauty gossip that has been going around the UK. Of course it wasn’t surprising to see all of the online beauty sites featuring how Kate created her wedding look, and that she even hired a makeup artist to teach her so that she could do her own makeup on her special day. Rumors of Bobbi Brown colors used, also no surprise, since many brides consider the line to be the “go-to collection” for wedding makeup.

But, when a little beauty birdy from the UK told us that it was the Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit that may have played a role in Kate’s perfect eyeliner and soft smoky eye look we decided to jump in the ring. The end result between her private lessons, products and tools used, was quite pretty, and exactly what we expected. The Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit was first introduced to the UK a few years back when singer Amy Winehouse called the stencils “absolutely brilliant”, and although we can’t quote the Duchess, based on this photo taken moments after the ceremony, it looks like she got it just right.

Cheers!

Lauren Conrad’s cat eyeliner has become a signature look for her, on and off the red carpet. Perfecting the look over the years with the help of her makeup artist, and the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit from beth bender beauty. The star gets it just right by creating the shape first with a cat eye stencil, followed by a liquid eyeliner.

Take a look at her eyeliner at the Us Weekly party in Hollywood. Makeup artist Beth Bender says “using a cat eye stencil removes the guess work, and creates the desired shape in seconds.”  To set your liner go over with either a gel eyeliner or liquid. “Point the tip of the stencil slightly upward for an elongated winged-out effect” says Bender.

“The higher you place the eyeliner stencil, the thicker the line, so start with it closer to the eyelid, then gradually higher until you achieve the perfect thickness.”  says Bender. To complete the look, finish with two coats of  black mascara, and if you feel the need, add a few individual lashes to the outer corners to compliment the winged effect.
