And it’s only becoming that the look is full with a powerful cat eye. An intense line of black eyeliner (Casillas used Charlotte Tilbury Feline Flick in Panther) frames Doja Cat’s prime and decrease lash traces after which extends into daring wings on each ends. For much more influence, Casillas says he “rimmed her waterline with Charlotte Tilbury Matte and Metallic Double Ended Eyeliner in Hollywood Exxagereyes for a brilliant horny, cat eye.” With a glance this fierce, Casillas did not hesitate to succeed in for dramatic lashes because the of entirety.

Sustaining the concentrate on the eyes, Casillas retains the remainder of Doja Cat’s make-up understated. Matching the pink on the tip of her nostril is a fragile contact of blush (Pillow Discuss Matte Magnificence Blush, to be actual) alongside her cheekbones, and a swipe of Pillow Discuss Matte Revolution Lipstick on her lips.

Lastly, we should word the diamond smack dab within the heart of Doja Cat’s brow. It could not be missed — and it will not be forgotten.
