Feline Eyes

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin intensifies her deep green-tinted eyes with softly rimmed eyeliner in a dark misty colour. Subtle lashes and concealer-covered lips keep this look natural and not too over-bearing, which is perfect for wearing with graphic or multi-coloured prints. Use a high pigment eye shadow to rim the eyes and build up the intensity naturally.

Shining at The Model as Muse Met Costume Institute Gala, Kate Hudson looked dazzling with simply defined eyes and caramel-coated lips. Define eyes with liquid liner and add light lashes for an evening look that doesn't distract from a glittering gown like Kate's sequinned gold number. You can also wash lids with a soft shimmering highlighter to catch the light prettily.

Alexa Chung teamed her rock-chic ruffled ‘do with a crayola-like line around eyes and finished with a horizontal flick. To try this modern glam look yourself, loved by Kate Moss too, use a soft kohl liner and draw close to the lash line. Smudge the liner softly with a firm, medium sized eye-shadow brush to de-define the edges. Add the flick to finish, spritz some surf spray, tousle up the hair and you’re ready to go.

Beyonce swapped her usual high-impact smoky eye for feline flicks that look sophisticated and charming with slicked back hair. To get this look, use a good quality eyeliner brush and pot of liner to get the gradually fading flick. Highlighted cheeks and brows are the perfect finishing touch for this understated glamour. A closer look reveals a tiny touch of metallic highlighter along the bottom lash, which brings a pop of light to the eye.

Diane Kruger showed off the power of the line with subtly rosy hues on cheeks and lips and a dash of liner across the top lash. If you're going for a well-defined liquid line, the option to keep the bottom lash is there or you can define lightly as Diane has done using a washed-out grey, which is great for blondes. Brunettes can afford to go darker with slick black. Don't forget to fill in brows as attention is on the top half of the face so a polished brow is essential.

The opening of the Armani flagship store in New York brought out America's finest razzle and dazzle. Model Natalia Vodianova nodded to the Eighties in Noughties style with softly winged grey shadow peeping out from the sides but kept lips modern and simply glossed. To get this look, prime lids with foundation and powder and surround eyes with a wash of shimmer-tinted grey like Bourjois Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in Gris Paillette, taking the shadow out to the sides. Layer up until you get the desired intensity and finish with a dash of silver on the bottom lash.

Feline flicks will never fall out of fashion and can be worn to great effect with simple make-up just like Nicole Richie. There are some hard to budge liners around with perfectly pointed tips too. Try MAC Penultimate Eye Liner for a line that's so precise it will suit the smallest of eyes and stay put all day.

Rihanna is a big fan of eye drama and goes for a Sixties vibe for this charity music event in New York's Madison Square. Eyes are given a full-impact look by taking the liner right around the eyes. For a look like this you can use liquid liner on top and a strongly pigmented kohl liner for the bottom and inner lashes with some soft charcoal shadow underneath to amplify the eye even more.

The High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens goes for a catlike effect to prettify almond-shaped eyes. This effect can be easily recreated by pulling across the outer corner of the eye and filling it in with a soft kohl pencil. Vanessa has a row of soft bottom lashes applied with a smear of silvery white shadow on the top lid for a vibrant and modern Sixties effect.
