# Literal Cat Eye Makeup The Halloween Cat Eye Look by Tal Peleg is Purfect for the Upcoming Holiday By Meghan Young | Published 2013-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-cat-eye-look References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2013/09/54322/halloween-cat-eye) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/TalPelegMakeUp) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Literal Cat Eye Makeup:** Opportunity for cosmetics companies to develop new products and techniques that incorporate playful and artistic elements into beauty routines. - **Holiday-themed Makeup Looks:** Opportunity for makeup artists and beauty influencers to create festive and unique makeup looks for specific holidays. - **Hyperrealistic Makeup:** Opportunity for artists and brands to develop hyperrealistic makeup looks that blur the line between makeup and art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** Opportunity for the cosmetics industry to diversify their offerings and tap into the growing demand for unique and playful makeup looks. - **Fashion and Beauty:** Opportunity for fashion and beauty brands to collaborate and create holiday-themed campaigns that incorporate playful and creative makeup looks. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to collaborate with makeup artists and brands to create hyperrealistic makeup looks for art exhibits and shows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [High-Impact Eye Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparklestik-eye-crayon.md) - [Spooky Single-Ingredient Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-cat-treats.md) - [Coffee-Inspired Eyeshadow Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-kitten.md) - [Halloween-Themed Cat Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-2.md) - [At-Home Cat-Eye Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cateye-nail.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Makeup Water Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corpse-paint-makeup.md)
