Super-size cat’s eye flicks

The cat’s eye flick has become almost a neutral. No longer seen as ultra-glam or retro, it can be dieted down to a subtle line or, as on the Dior couture catwalks, blown up into a big, bold wing. Black nods to punk, gold nods to disco. Use the end of the eyebrow as an anchor, and head towards there from the top of your lashes with a felt-tipped eyeliner. Draw another line from under the lash line to the point of your wing, then colour in the gap.
