Local Puerto Rican chicks back in the 80's would rock this shit, but w/ more of an Egyptian steez w/ a str8 line to the temple.
It never looked good then and I still dont get it now.
I saw a cutie on the subway this morning. Had the black leather pants working w/ high heels...str8 up Olivia Newton John in Grease.
Red lipstick, cream pumps, black top, and that Cat-Eyeliner. Shit looks cool on some Hollywood shit or Fashionista shit, but ive never seen this shit look proper on a regular chick in the street...NEVER.
am i being Catty?

There was a chick in high school that was always doing spiraly ish like this and it was hot on her. I think she evntually got it tatted on permanently.
Especially on its own with no other make-up.
The Cleopatra Goth Girl peeper treatment is big at the moment. Standard issue warpaint round my way but then again I live in Camden.
And im seeing as usual w/ any trend...an overdose by copycats that should refrain.
Could someone find an image where it works.
And the face isnt a model or a star. Prove this shit.
bahahahaha, shit yo! that made me choke on my Raspberry Tang..hilarious!
I also ride for the cat eyeliner...tattoos and piercings as well
All make-up is a gimmick.
There was a bird that rocked the feline eyeliner for work a while back (I believe the fad was started by the one WINEHOUSE) but it looked mildly psychotic on her. I hadn't got the heart to tell her. (I think in 2013 men cannot be allowed to compliment, never mind cast aspersion on, the appearance of female co-workers).
There is one other girl I know that wears it really well but I don't have a photo and I don't want to come over as some middle-aged stalker wierdo, so you'll have to take my word that it can work for non-supermodels (has to be off duty, doe).
I would totally throw bassie a compliment here, but don't want to come across as some middle-aged stalker wierdo.
[insert acceptable compliment here]
You are welcome.
Yea, Winehouse had the right idea until nothing on her was steady and it was just a busted looking wiggly smudge.

The cat eye shit is very tricky terrain. On the right woman with the right accoutrements, it is beyond incredibly sexy.
Highly diplomatic. It was a challenging mix of manly, horsey, compelling and sensual that did much better when she weighed more than 120lbs....nevermind, that applies to almost all adults.
You would know.
Short Gamine hair would have deffo been a good start doe.
MOISTURISER IS NOT A WOMAN'S SECRET, OKAY?
I don't want to put dude on blast, but I distinctly remember a certain soulstrutter--one of your erstwhile countrymen, no less--affectionately describing Miss Amy's particular appeal as "jewy." Misty water-colo(u)red memories of Yung Streisand, no doubt.
A couple-few years back, this look--eyes, hair, the whole shit--had some currency in my neighborhood for a little while, but seemingly only among regular-chick black women aged 18 to 24. It didn't last long, but the overall effect was very Ronettes, and--within its context--a good look, if not always a great one.
Back in middle school I had the crazy crush on a girl named Tonya who did her eyes like this in a wholly successful attempt at a Jody Watley type thing, but that's neither here nor there.
That's on some Mr Snuffadopolous shit, and most definitely nagl. And those things moult. Girls at work did it, I'd be talking to them about some banking ish and this spider leg would fall off onto the cheek or desk or paper.
Christ.
NO.
Carry on
