This five second makeup trick gives an instant eye lift

On Tuesday evening, Kate Moss, 45, arrived at the Vogue party during London Fashion Week with her signature blonde locks, dewy skin, and effortless style. The other detail we noticed: her feline shaped eyes sculpted with a jet black eyeliner. And Kate isn’t the only celebrity opting for this trend lately, with Eva Longoria, and Victoria Beckham also adopting this sumptuous, cat-like eye shape among others.

Sure, feline eyes is a makeup look that has travelled with us through all ages - one has to only think of Cleopatra, Brigitte Bardot or Madonna - but the latest wave of celebrities and catwalks have proven that this trend is back by force and brings with it a list of benefits for women over 40. See how this look can work for you below:

Bold black liquid liners lift and open eyes

Taking a liquid liner and drawing upwards feline flicks on the edges of the eyes is not only sumptuous and a great evening look, but it also creates the illusion of the eyes being more lifted by bringing the edges to a high point. The contrast of a dark liner also makes the white of the eyes appear whiter and more open. It’s an instant eye lift in a tube. Take queues from Phillip Lim at New York Fashion Week or Max Mara's Milan show on Thursday.

Create a feline shape with eye shadow for a more effortless eye lift that avoids dragging the skin

For those worried about dragging the skin or bleeding of liquid products due to creasing, creating a feline shape with eye shadow not only lifts the shape of your eye whilst blurring lines, but also gives you the opportunity to build this look with colour. The Duchess of Sussex channeled this over the summer, blending her eye shadow into a feline shape so it was subtle enough for day time wear.

Apply false lashes for an elegant winged look that also cover crows feet

If applying eye shadows and liners is still a little too heavy or bold for you, false lashes are an ingenious way to lift and open the the eyes whilst giving that 'no makeup makeup look' we all love. Jennifer Lopez, 50, has recently been wearing false lashes - often day and night - proving how versatile this eye-lift hack can be. Try feathered lashes that have more volume at the outer edges to get the desired cat-eye shape. Adding eye shadow or thicker lashes can also vamp up your look if you really want to go full glam.
