At the ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ New York Premiere last month, Emma Watson paired her slicked-back pixie cut with a defined gold and black cat eye and nude lips. I loved how powerful the look is and those golden foil on the outer corners are such a nice accent! Read on to see my step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate this gorgeous eye makeup.

Step 1. Prep the eyelid with a primer to ensure more vibrant and longer-lasting color.

Step 4. Sweep a black eyeshadow onto the crease. Drag it past the outer corner for a cat-eye shape. To copy Emma’s look down to a T, drag the color from the inner corner towards your brow as well.
For the perfect cat-eye shape, hold a Kleenex or apply medical tape under the eye before you apply the color. Alternatively, clean up the line with a foundation brush or sponge dipped in foundation.

Step 8. Apply tiny pieces of gold foil on the outer corner of the eye. Don’t have any handy? Dab some of the golden yellow eyeshadow with a damp brush instead.

Extra Tips On Nailing The Look
• When working with dark colors on the eyes, do your foundation and concealer last to avoid a massive cleanup.
• To prevent colors from turning muddy, always start with lighter colors before moving to the darker ones.
• Since this is very defined, strong look, do not worry too much about the blending. Just make sure to keep the undereye area as clean as possible.
