The cat-eye beauty technique is a staple among many women, but its application is more figurative than literal; but not the Halloween Cat Eye Look. In place of a subtle flick at the corner of the eye or even a thicker rendition, this makeup look revolves around an actual cat--a [black cat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cat-frappuccino), to be exact. The perfect look for the upcoming holiday, it is fun and festive.

The Halloween Cat Eye Look was created by makeup artist Tal Peleg. She used [Maybelline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-your-mix) color tattoo in black, [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat) fluidline in blacktrack and Concrete minerals pro-matte eyeshadows. To finish the look, she even pasted a piece of purple string to act as a playful ball of yarn that the kitten is having fun with. Peleg does suggest painting the string on as an alternative.
