Beauty Spotting: I Will Master Cat Eye Makeup In 2012

Written by Olga

Everyone makes resolutions to lose weight, eat better, recycle or run a marathon for the coming year. Me? I just want to learn how to put makeup on like an adult.

I have a dark secret that I must get off my chest. I know I come on here and preach natural beauty and the importance of skin care and how that’s really all you need to look like a hot bitch and make everyone jealous of how good you look. The truth is, I have to preach natural beauty because I’m completely makeup inept. Hello, my name is Olga, I’m 27 years old and I put on makeup like a total idiot. Foundation goes over my head, I don’t understand why anyone would need more than two or three colors of eye shadow and eyeliner: FORGET IT. I’ve spent way too many nights (six) in front of a mirror attempting the cat eye look and failing miserably. You know the story: One eye always looks perfect while the other makes your entire face look as wonky as Paris Hilton’s. So, forty five minutes later, you say “fuck it” and wipe it all off. Story of my life.

Next year is going to be different. In 2012, one of my resolutions is that I will perfect cat eye makeup, so help me the god of liquid liner.

Have any tips and tricks for me? Which liquid liner do you prefer?
