Halloween Cat-Eye Makeup Tutorials That Will Instantly Upgrade Your Catsuit

These days, cat-eyes have become as de rigueur in our makeup rotation as red lips and matte skin, so you could say we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves when it comes to crafting those flirty flicks of eyeliner. But we’re not about to settle for just any banal cat-eye this Halloween; this year, we’re looking for the Purina Cat Chow of cat-eye makeup to make all our friends green with envy.

Naturally, we did what any makeup-obsessed beauty would do in this case: We sought out the guidance of YouTube gurus. Turns out there is a whole array of amazing Halloween cat-eye makeup tutorials that range from adorable to super sexy. Whether you’re looking for a literal cat eye (you know, one that comes along with a cute little nose and whiskers), a leopard-print cat-eye, or something more traditional, we’ve got you covered. Now the only challenge is deciding which one we’re going to wear this Halloween!
