Hello lovelies!

This fall, the weather may get cooler, but the makeup trends are oh so hot!!

The fall 2011 Runways were on FIRE with super sexy looks, including the hot red lip, metallic shadows, and my all-time favorite, the Cat Eye!!

The sexy cat eye is making a come-back in a big way! This fall, make it your own by trying a new twist on this sexy classic. It’s no longer just about a single black line – makeup artists are using smudging techniques, shadows and even color to create a modern sex-kitten look.

The great thing about today’s cat-eye is you really can’t mess it up. Well, you can, but that’s kind of the point. The new cat is messy, smoky and super sexy, so try it out and make this coming fall hotter than your summer fling!

Makeup from Lanvin fall 2011 Runway, Paris. This sexy-yet-sweet cat eye was created by makeup artist Pat McGrath.

According to Allure, for Lanvin’s fall show, superstar makeup artist Pat McGrath used Cover Girl’s Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx to draw a thick line starting from the center of the lash line and extended it beyond the outer corner of the eyes.

Rather than bringing it to a sharp point, she squared it off so it looked imperfect, “I wanted it to look like the girls did their own makeup,” she said. Not as defined as your typical cat eye, but just as sexy, and a whole lot easier to do!

There so many different ways to make the cat-eye your own. Take some inspiration from these hot celebs:

Angelina Jolie is known her subtle cat-eye. Although the liner is strong, it only extends out slightly past the outer corner. Love it!

Of course, you can’t think of the cat-eye without Brigitte Bardot!

Everything about her look is back – from the messy hair to the messy makeup! To get the “Bardot” start with basic eyeliner and extend outward from the upper lid. Keep retracing to make it nice and thick! Then swipe smoky shadow on and above the liner for the ultimate bombshell look! YUM!!

Taylor Swift ALWAYS has a little cat-eye!

Eva Mendes – A true modern-day bombshell.

If you’re too shy for the strong liquid liner Cat, try using only eye shadow to create more natural drama. It can be dark or even colored, just swipe it on like you would eyeliner.

A solid cat-eye can be tricky, so start by using a dark brown or black pencil and smudging it outward at the outer corners. My favorite pencil for creating a smoky cat is from Victoria’s Secret Beauty (Yes, they actually have a nice line of makeup!) The pencil is very velvety so it goes on like butter, then use the handy smudger on the other end to mess it up – PERFECT.

VS makeup Eyeliner pencil available in Dark Chocolate, Black Velvet, Slate and others! Only $12!!

Ok Cats, go grab your eyeliner and channel your inner sex-kitten this fall.

Peace, Love and Sexiness!
