The sweater? What, this old thing? You like? Yeah, it’s from Target, and no, one does not have to be feline obsessed to wear it with cat eyeliner. In fact, if you are a cat lady makeup lover, it really helps drive home the point. 🙂
I have a special place in my heart for cat eyeliner (and cat sweaters)…
A big part of this cat liner look, obvs, is the liner flick action on the upper lash lines, but what about the lower lash lines? What should we do there?
I suppose we could leave ’em bare, but where’s the fun in that?
One way to infuse your lower lash and water lines with more meow is to line them with gold liner. Lately, to wear with my cat eye liner looks, I’ve been loving on MAC’s Pro Longwear Eye Liner in Powerline ($19.50). It adds just a little oomph without overpowering the whole look (I mean, because you don’t want to take away from that sweater, you know?).
Like, if MAC sent Powersurge Eye Kohl away to boot camp, it would come back as MAC Powerline, totally ripped and able to do one-armed push-ups and wrestle Terminators, Sarah Connor-style.
Like a slightly darker Powersurge, Powerline has a shimmery golden bronze thing going on, but it’s also a tad softer and smoother than Powersurge and glides more easily along my lower lash and water lines.
Weartime? From 6-7 hours. Pigment? Intense! (I only need 1-2 layers.)
If you’re ready to elevate your cat lady-ness to unprecedented levels, try incorporating Powerline along your lower lash and water lines the next time you wear a cat eyeliner look…and don’t be surprised if you start pawing at yo’ hot self when you look in the mirror. 🙂
Check out MAC Powerline purring now on MAC counters, in stores and online.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

September 11th, 2013 at 5:04 pmKaren, you look beautiful here! Powerline really suits you. As does your awesome sweater (hehe). Your cat eyeliner is looking fine as well. Thanks for sharing! I’m going to have to get Powerline the next time I’m in MAC (so like….tomorrow).

September 11th, 2013 at 5:38 pmHi Natalie,
Thank you. 🙂 Oooh, what are you going to check out at the counter besides Powerline?
Natalie says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:01 pmI’ll have to check out some of the new matte lippies, if my MAC has any left. Hopefully they aren’t too drying, they looks so rad on the lips.
Karen says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:11 pmOh, you won’t be disappointed. You might have to baby your lips before and after (such is the case with mattes), but you’ll LOVE how they look both in real life and in pics. I’m wearing one of the shades in these photos, by the way — All Fired Up! I love it.
Natalie says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:32 pmIt looks gorgeous on you! All Fired Up is going on the list, for sure.
Karen says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:37 pmThanks. Hope it’s on your list!

He totally hates sharing the camera, LOL. If it’s not him filling the frame then he’s not having it!

September 11th, 2013 at 6:02 pmHi Karen! Can you tell me what lipstick you’re wearing? Looks great on you!
Karen says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:11 pmHi Marilia!
Thank you. It’s one of the new MAC Retro Matte lipsticks, All Fired Up. 🙂

September 11th, 2013 at 6:20 pmAwww, you and tabs are so cute together! Love the cat sweater on you. Too bad tabs can’t wear a Karen sweater:D
Karen says
September 11th, 2013 at 6:25 pmHaha! If that ever happened I’d have to be wearing cat eyes in the sweater, LOL! It’s only right.

September 11th, 2013 at 7:38 pmDefinitely Black looks like it could rival most Indian kohls! Good on MAC for putting out an intense black liner.

September 11th, 2013 at 8:15 pmHi Karen,
What foundation are you wearing here? It looks amazing on you.
Lori says
September 11th, 2013 at 8:16 pmOh and I agree with another poster about the lipstick– I just recently bought Tom Ford’s Crimson Noir after seeing it on you. It’s my new favorite red. =)
Sunny says
September 11th, 2013 at 10:05 pmHey Karen, the sweater and Tabs crack me up! Powerline looks like a shade I’d love! I never use black on my lower lash line (or when I do, I smudge it with an eyeshadow that is not), and these look like shades I’d happily sport 🙂

September 11th, 2013 at 11:40 pmTabs doesn’t look too happy with the kittehz on your sweater ;). Such a snuggly li’l thug he is! <3
Lorraine says
September 12th, 2013 at 10:08 amCuteness overload! You two look so adorable and ready for a cozy fall snuggle fest. Powerline is gorgeous- reminds me of Laura Mercier Black Gold. Burning questions- What nail color are you sporting? DId you get the matching kitty cat leggings? 🙂
Kim says
September 12th, 2013 at 11:16 amI think I actually did a GAH! for you. I knew you bought the sweater but it’s different to see you wearing it. It’s awesome! Oh, and you remind me of a teen model from an old JC Penney catalog in that pic with Tabs – in a happy and youthful sense. 🙂
