Ready to expand your eye makeup repertoire with a new (yet not-so-complicated) look? The reverse cat eye is the way to go. Some may even argue it’s easier to achieve than your classic cat eye if you tend to have trouble drawing a straight line on your upper lash line with eyeliner. The reverse cat eye is basically your classic cat eye but, well, reversed or flipped. Ahead, more info on the chic eyeliner trend, a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the look for yourself and looks to try once you’ve nailed the technique.What Is a Reverse Cat Eye?A reverse cat eye typically consists of heavier bottom liner that extends from the outer corner of the lower lash line into a wing; the wing swoops slightly upward to meet the outer corner of the upper lash line. In other words, it’s essentially an inverted winged liner. With a reverse cat eye, eyeliner is still usually applied to the upper lash line but in a much more subtle fashion. Sometimes the top and bottom eyeliner are connected at the inner corner of the eye as well. If you type in reverse cat eye on TikTok or as an Instagram hashtag, you’ll get endless inspiration. As for what tools you’ll need? While black eyeliner is a go-to choice for many, this technique can be used with any eyeliner color. Many choose to give their reverse cat eye look a smoky, sultry vibe, so an eyeliner that you can smudge or blend out slightly, like a regular pencil or a gel eyeliner, is your best bet. Regardless of what you choose, you’ll want it to have a precise tip or one that can be resharpened once it dulls. One of our favorites is the Maybelline New York TattooStudio Sharpenable Gel Pencil because it’s available in a multitude of colors and glides across your eyelid with ease. You can also create this look using eyeshadow or a gel eyeliner that comes in a tiny pot with an angled eyeliner brush. We love the Lancôme Liner/Smudger Brush #14. The L’Oréal Paris Infallible Gel 24HR Lacquer Liner comes with a tiny gel liner pot and a brush. Step-by-Step Reverse Cat-Eye Tutorial
