Wings of Desire
Audrey Hepburn also deserves credit for popularizing the winged liner look as Holly Golightly in 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's. The actress was blessed with dark velvet eyes that tilted up naturally at the outer corners, making her a perfect poster child for the thin, flicked line. Her on-set makeup artist on the iconic film, Wally Westmore, reportedly alternated brown and black liner with shadow, depending on whether they were shooting day or night scenes.

La Bella Donna
Sophia Loren was fond of applying black liner slightly beyond her eyes, even angling the tip down subtly to accentuate her natural almond shape. Piles of mascara completed her signature va-va-voom look, which was the subject of an homage at Dolce & Gabbana's molto italiano Spring show.

…And God Created Bardot
Brigitte Bardot rimmed her cat-shaped eyes with thick black pigment, applying layer after layer of liner, with an uptick equal to the width of a pinky finger. Decades later, the blonde bombshell is still the go-to example for looking sexy without trying too hard.

Mod Squad
Mad Men has cemented our modern obsession with all things sixties, including cat-eyes. Lana Horochowski, the show's head makeup artist, relies on pots of MAC's Fluidline liner in Blacktrack and individual lashes applied at the corners to faithfully re-create Christina Hendricks' retro style.

Très Jolie
Angelina Jolie's cat-eye looks dark and vampish one moment, then refined and polished the next. The trick is in the angle of the flick—a straighter line conveys grace while a harder, curled edge befits her Oscar-winning, blood vial-drinking days circa 2000.

Fluoro Fabulous
When Lily Allen burst onto the scene in the early aughts, she brought her own adaptation of the cat-eye with her, i.e., flicked-up tips in neon shades of professional Kryolan pigments. Somewhat partial to orange, Allen was also known for dabbling in Day-Glo pink and green, but ultimately she went back to black with Chanel's Écriture de Chanel classic pen.

Kate the Great
Kate Moss recently revealed that her 9-year-old daughter "likes the fresh-faced, natural mummy," but we prefer our Kate with her signature black liner intact and drawn on with a slight, imperfect tip. Except, that is, when makeup artist Pat McGrath is doing the scrawling, as was the case backstage at Louis Vuitton last season. Pure perfection.

Sideways Glances
Unhinged housewives from the fifties inspired the striking cat-eyes at Jonathan Saunders' Spring 2012 show, where lead makeup artist Lucia Pieroni stroked on MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack using its tapered #263 Small Angle Brush. The curving lines were so extended they could be seen from the sides of the models' faces.

Ciao, Bella
Backstage at Dolce & Gabbana, the brand's The Make Up color consultant, Pat McGrath, channeled Sophia Loren with a glamorous winged design, using a quarter strip of faux lashes and multiple coats of mascara to ensure the final look was true to the screen siren's original style.

Seeing Double
Giorgio Armani international makeup artist Linda Cantello provided her own update for Spring, scrawling not one but two iridescent black flicks onto lids at Giorgio Armani for lines that glowed like "watery reflections."

Six simple steps to False Eyelash Application by Aleksandra Stefanovski

For all you lash lovers out there who are mortified by the idea of putting on your own pair of falsies, here’s a few tips to get you lash fabulous in no time.

Step 1: Complete your entire makeup, gently curl your lashes and apply a coat of mascara.

Step 2. .Peel your lashes from the tray by gently using either a pair of tweezers or your fingers. You can bend the eyelash tray back to make the lash pop out; this will allow you to get your fingers or tweezers a better grip on the lash band. Gently peel the lashes holding the lash band from the outer corner in.

Step 3: Bring the lashes up to your eye and measure the width of the lash band. If the false eyelashes extend beyond your eye width, trim the lashes one by one with a small pair of sharp scissors until you have the desired band width.

Step 4: Use your index finger to bend the eyelash strip into a horse shoe shape - this will make the false lashes better fit your eye contour. You can roll the bend of the lash back and forth a few times to reinforce the curvature of the lash.

Step 5: Apply a small dab of adhesive to your wrist or eyelash tray. Using a small toothpick or cotton tip, apply the adhesive to the eyelash band. Wait at least 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky. This is the most critical step. Patience is the key! If you glue is too wet, the lashes will slip off your natural lashes and make application less successful.

Step 6: Hold the false lashes with your tweezers. Looking in the mirror, tilt your head back slightly and position the lashes into place.

Press on the lash band from the inner corner to the outer corners of the eyes, placing them as close to the natural lash line as possible. Hold firmly into place until they set. Alternatively, you can use the Lash Republic placement tool, which grips and hold the lashes for you while you apply your glue and then you can use the tool to position and drop the release and the false eyelash in the correct position.

Remember – the false lashes should be placed on your natural lashes, not on your eyelid.

In Summary -

· Allowing the glue to cure is the key to a successful application.

· Not all false eyelash designs suit everyone and having the right style of false lash will bring out the best in your eyes. For your free customised eye styling, contact Aleksandra at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
