Daytime Cat Eye If you love the look for evening, why not tone down the drama for a daytime look? If black liner is your go-to, keep it clean and minimal with nude shadow and mascara. Or go softer by using brown, gold or bronze liner to create a low contrast cat eye and finish with neutral shadow. The best part is that it’s so easy to do a quick touch-up, increase the intensity and add a few more coats of mascara to take you directly from the office to cocktails.
