CAT EYE vs. RED LIP
Are you the sleek, mysterious, alluring vixen of your friend group? The one whose eyes can draw in any guy from across the bar or restaurant. The one whose makeup aesthetic highlights her smartest asset – the eyes?
Kate Moss, Adele, Alexa Chung, and Angelina Jolie are just some of our favorite icons who are known for their cat eyes. The beauty exuded by a simple, yet bold winged liner continues to inspire movie stars, models, artists, and you, too.
When considering liquid eyeliners – bold, precise, perfectly manicured cat-eye – are just some elements that come to mind. With so many options from luxury to drugstore brands, it can be very daunting experience to say the least.
Here is a carefully curated collection of eyeliners to add to your collection.

Or, Are you the delightfully irresistible, flirty yet witty, magnetic feline of the group? The one with Alizarin crimson stained lips? The one whose voluminous pouty lips can charm any living being with a pulse. The one who can stop time with just a flash of a smile radiating across the romantically dim light Tribeca restaurant?
Dynamic, bold, and confident – the red lipstick is the ultimate beauty staple. Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Rita Ora, and Megan Fox are just some celebrity icons we have come to love for their red-lip signature cosmetic style. The ruby red lip is the beauty classic that transcends time, genres, style, and age. Who doesn’t love the statement a red lip makes, whatever that statement may be.
