The Cat Eye Style

The cat eye style has actually been around for quite some time, although it has seen new life with eyelashes and eyelash extensions. Audrey Hepburn brought the cat eye style into popularity in the 1960s with her stylish sunglasses from Breakfast at Tiffany’s! When someone speaks of the “cat eye style,” they’re usually referring to a contour that comes to a sharp point, like the edge of a cat’s eye. Wider on the interior and meeting the exterior edge with a sharp point. For eyelashes, the cat eye style is typically defined as shorter length lashes on the eye lid’s interior that gradually tapers out to longer lashes on the exterior. The eyelashes form a sharp point on the edge, looking similar to a cat’s eye structure.

Why Do People Love Cat Eyelash Extensions?

So, what is it about feline-themed extensions that people like so much? Is it simply a stylistic fad? Or, is there a greater functionality to the style? Well, we’re happy to say that cat eyelash extensions don’t just look gorgeous (timeless too), but they also help to build a structure and shape around the eyes! The look, when arranged by a professional eyelash artist, is stunning! Cat eyelash extensions are sharp and sensual at the same time. They’re perfect for a night out at the club or cocktail lounge - they truly create the perfect balance of refined style and wild fun! Just be aware, with these extensions, there is a higher level of touch-ups and maintenance needed. As the lashes are longer at the ends, they tend to be heavier, which increases their chances of falling off.

What Types of Facial Structures Are Best Suited for These Extensions?

Cat eyelash Extensions have the ability to elongate the eye while simultaneously adding lift to the lashes. For people with round eyes, close-set eyes, or round faces, cat eyelash extensions are great for creating some sharper contours and elongation; they can even help someone’s face appear slimmer!
