How to Get the Perfect Cat Eye (Inspired by Love Island 2025)

Model applying a sharp black cat eye eyeliner look inspired by Love Island.

If you're a VIP GlowGetter, we know you're always watching the trends — and no glam look is more iconic right now than the cat eye. From beach parties to date nights, Love Island’s Season 11 made the cat eye a summer staple.

Here’s how to get your own version of that sharp, lifted liner look — even if you’re new to winged liner.

Step 1: Prime & Set Your Lid Start with a matte eyeshadow base or a little setting powder over your lid to prevent smudging.

Yany Pick: Use our Minah Collection Romance 15-Shade Eyeshadow using a shade that looks natural on your skin tone.

Step 2: Map the Angle Use the tail of your brow as a guide and lightly draw a diagonal line with a pencil or gel liner.

Yany Pick: Use our Yany Beauty Retractable Eyeliner it glides on smooth for easy application.

Step 3: Connect the Wing From the end of the flick, draw inward to your lash line creating a triangle. Fill it in with short, precise strokes.

Step 4: Define with Liquid Liner Go over your shape with a black liquid liner for ultra-definition. Waterproof is your best friend here.

Yany Pick: Use our Yany Beauty Dual Tip Eyeliner Pen for sharp lines and smudge proof staying power.

Step 5: Clean It Up Use a flat brush and concealer to sharpen the edge of your wing and perfect the angle.

Bonus Glow Tip: Pair your cat eye with nude gloss or bold lashes for that full island glam.

Yany Pick: Use our Yany Beauty Lipgloss-n-Go on the inner corner to make your eyes pop.

BONUS: Use our Glitz & Glam Shimmer on the inner corner to make your eyes pop.
