Remember those March murmurs about a little something called MAC Fabulous Felines? Well, it’s still a few months away (August in the US; September internationally), but after Tabs spotted these fabulous promotional pictures yesterday, he insisted we do a tribute look.
OG MAC Fabulous Felines tabby promo pic!
Homegirl version!
Ya gotta love how Tabs smiles with his eyes. 😉
The look didn’t turn out exactly like the tabby promo pic we used for inspiration, but I ended up liking the smokey gray/brown combo for the eyes.
Oh, and when I was fooling around with this today I think I accidentally discovered a new trick! Most of the time when I do cat eye liner, I draw a thick black line along my upper lash line and leave it at that. Today, though, for no particular reason, I added a line of white eyeliner parallel to the thick black eyeliner and set it with a shimmery golden beige shadow patted on top.
I kinda like how it turned out (yay/yea for random makeup experimentation!).
If you’d like to see a detailed breakdown of this look with the products and steps I used, holla (or meow!) at me in the comments. I think I might give this one another try. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. So how was the rest of your day, and what are we having for dinner (I’m starved!)?
Kelly says
Nice Karen! Love that white line above the black.
And I must say, Tabs looks way more stunning than the MAC cat, his eyes glow! 🙂

Love it! Did I mention that I have to get the freakin’ quad simply because there’s a “Russian Blue” shadow, and that’s my cat’s breed? Oh hell yes. MUST HAVE!
makeup morsels says
ooh yes tutorial please, I’m really loving this look. Very nice with the hand posing, they should swap you and Tabs with the original promo poster. Quick additional question, what’s on your nails? I’m eyeing that color like I eye the jar of nutella in my kitchen xD

I had a Stouffer’s Fettucine Alfredo. I’m a sucker for it.
I had a pretty good day. My two DVDs came in, bought 3 more at Target and got a new outfit for Monday. I start bowling on Monday so my mom said a new outfit was what I needed. There’s just one teeny tiny problem with my outfit–my skinny jeans are two big in the waist. Why doesn’t Target carry size 0’s for jeans? I had to get a 2 (the smallest size). It’s a good thing I know how to bring in the waists of my jeans (and I can hem them too!). I’d be screwed otherwise.
How do you get both wings even with your eyeliner? I can never do it! It doesn’t help my right eye is a little different from my left eye!
Karen says
I do it by freehand now, but I had to practice a LOT to get there. In the beginning I used to use Scotch tape to help guide me… sometimes I still do!
marisol says
Fabulous! You are inspiring me to work on this liner technique.
I think it’s time for Tabs to get an agent.
.-= marisol’s last blog post… Disappointed… =-.
Karen says
No kidding! Or maybe I should charge him 10%?
noemii says
i honestly think you influenced this upcoming collection ! lol :p
i can never not ‘wing’ out my eyeliner . i look soo weird without doing it haha .
Karen says
LOL… that would be so cool if Tabs played a part in its fruition!
Do you like to do a big, bold wing? Or is subtle more your style?
Shannon says
I haven’t been reading your blog for very long, but I have to say this is a really flattering look for you. It makes you look ridiculously pretty! I’d love to see a tutorial because it looks complicated, yet not overdone. Great job!
Paris B says

Kate says
Hey Karen, this look is gorgeous on you. One of my favorties! You and Tabs could give those MAC models a run for their money!
Pat says
Those of us with our own fabulous felines are gonna be dropping some money on that! Your liner looks great! I read somewhere that using a business card helps make the “cat line” perfect, so am gonna try that, too. And, I really like your lipstick! What did you use? Luv to you & Tabs!
Glosslizard says
Fabulous! You and yo’ cat are rockstars, baby! 😉
Basak says
meow! Karen. great look.
BeckBeck says
Tabs is clearly a cool-toned tabby, whereas the MAC cat is decidedly warm. 🙂
Cindy says
You look stunning. What a nice look for you! Your white-liner trick makes the whole look pop. BTW, what are you wearing on your lips?
