    Expert Answer
    For cat eyes, it's best to use liquid, felt tip, or gel eyeliner for best results. If you want your cat-eye to be a bit smudged, you can use a pencil liner instead.

    How much do I put on?

    It depends on the thickness you want. Keep applying until you get the desired shade, but only do a little bit at a time to avoid mistakes.

    How do I make sure that your eyeliner and wing are not too thick?

    Use a liquid liner or a gel (with a thin formula, like Tarte Amazonian Clay liner) with an angled brush, as opposed to pencil. You want to start at the outer corner of your eye and with one quick, fluid motion (it has to be fast or the wing won't be as sharp), flick your liner toward the tail of your brow to create the wing. Then, make a thin line from your inner corner to the tip of the wing and fill in the space between the line and your lash line. Take your time (apart from the flick) and practice a lot, because wings aren't easy until you get it right, then it's pretty easy.

    Go to your local beauty store and buy one from there. If you are just beginning, use a thick pencil and just use it on the outer corner of your eyes.

    I don't have any eyeliner! Can I use black eye shadow?

    Yes, you can always use eye shadow and a damp eye-shadow brush. Just add a few drops of water to your brush, dab it onto the eye-shadow palette, and you have your very own eyeliner.

    Apply mascara after eye shadow and liner. You want to keep it clean with no particles in it.
