Eye Style: Kitten Eye

Hello!
Recently I've seen quite a few makeup artists experimenting with the 'kitten eye' style. Apparently it originated at the Anna Sui show as a feline eye look. This is where a dark eyeshadow is pressed along the outer half of the lid, buffed into the crease and outlines the eye in a V shape at the outer corner. It is finished with a round dot of the dark shadow under the pupil of the eye at the centre of the bottom lid. I tried to recreate this look using 'petrol', a Barry M dazzle dust, with the alteration of creating a wider thinner line of colour under the pupils to create a more wearable look. Properly done this look has a very 1950's feel to it, and when kept with quite neutral tones across the rest of the face highlights your eyes.
Hope you enjoyed this style steal post! I may start posting catwalk makeup looks more often
