Perfecting the Cat Eye

The Amy Winehouse movie has my cat eye cravings at an all time high.  If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. And if you love a good cat eye like me, or are wanting to try it out, I have compiled a few tips and pics of my favorites. Meoooow 

1. Look for brushes or markers with thin points to help you get the line down first. Remember: A cat-eye doesn't have to have a full-on exaggeration like Amy Winehouse. It should give a doe shape to the eye.

2. Take a lash curler, curl lashes and follow the lift of your natural flutter to reshape the eye with a flick of liner.

3. Brace your elbow on something that is steady to give your hand better placement.

4. Always start soft and then build intensity. (The middle of the lash line is a great starting place.) 

so dramatic

I find myself wanting to do the Amy version but chickening out and rolling with the Alexa....which one is your favorite? 

Cat Eyes for everyone!

New Year New Hair

I'm still contemplating making new years resolutions and yes i realize its Jan 26, the first on my list should be to stop procrastinating.  But, the new year is a great time to debut new hair!  I've searched blogs and magazines and am loving the new IT cut of 2015 - the "medium cut". If you are interested in hopping on the shoulder length train, check out these pics, I have rounded up some of the best.  

Center parted and shaggy:  My inner 70's girl is loving this laid back look. (via Byrdie)

The Blunt Bob: Requires minimal styling and looks best when a little bed head is involved.  It's simple, easy and so chic. (via La 21 Eme)

Long Bangs: Keep the layers minimal throughout the cut and opt for some long, face-framing bangs.  I wish I could dye my hair this perfect shade!!! (via Nylon)

Bob with Bangs: This is the messier, more bed head version of Michelle Pfeiffer's so hot Scarface cut.  Supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw keeps the look fresh and funky, not too American Girl Doll-like.  (via Fashionising)

Angled Bob: Similar to the blunt bob, Olivia Palermo's cut is a little bit longer and slightly more angled.  The highlights in the front are an easy way to add dimension to your color. (via Mia)

The Big Part: If bangs aren't your thing, make your simple shoulder cut stand out by adding a dramatic part.  bohoGrace rocks this style and it always looks so simple, yet so chic! (via The Satorialist)

Are you planning on doing anything new with your tresses in 2015?  If so, please share!  We love a good before and after.
