Tis’ the season for parties. Graduation parties, holiday parties, parties just because school is out, your dog’s birthday party, whatever. With all these occasions, you wouldn’t want to be left without a makeup look, so, I’m giving you two tutorials to choose from. Also, if Santa brought you new makeup in your stocking, this is a great chance to try out some new ideas. The first look is a classic “Mad Men”-inspired nude cat eye that is my personal go-to on a daily basis. The second is a vamped-up red and black night out look, perfect for longer evenings or parties with friends!

1. Nude Cat Eye.

1. Start with a primed eye lid to prevent creasing.
2. Cover the lid and brow bone with a nude shade closest to your skin colour.
3. Choose a brown shade that’s 3 times darker than your skin colour and apply that to the outer corner of your lid.
4. If you want, you can take a darker brown and apply it in a ‘V’ shape on the outer corner.
5. Line your upper and lower lashes with an eye liner of your choice. I used a cream one with an angled brush.
6. Create a small wing at the end by flicking your brush upward. If you have trouble with winged liner, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube that would help.
7. Finish by applying mascara and defining your brows.
8. All done!

2. All Vamped-Up.

1. Start with a primed eye lid to prevent creasing.
2. Cover the lid a with a dark red colour.
3. Take a black shadow and smudge it along the lash line and outer corner of the eye, smudging inwards.
4. Line your upper and lower lash line with an eyeliner of your choice. I used a cream one with an angled brush.
5. Create a small wing at the end by flicking your brush upward. If you have trouble with winged liner, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube that would help.
6. Finish by applying mascara and defining your brows.
7. All done!
