Nothing screams mermaid quite like a green and blue jewel-toned take on the cat eye.

Step 1: Use the dark green side of the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eye Shadow in Mint Detox to draw a line from the outer corner of your eye up. This is the beginning of your cat eye.

Step 2: Create a triangle by connecting the top of the flick to your lash line.

Step 3: Fill in the triangle. This is your wing!

Step 4: Extend the line all the way to the inner corner of your eye.

Step 5: Use the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliner in Vivid Aqua to line your bottom lid. Starting at the inner corner of your eye, create a flick that points down towards your nose, then line your bottom lid, then flick the eyeliner upwards when you reach the outer corner of your eye.

Step 6: Applying the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lip in Spicy Blush. Outline your lips using the pointed tip, then fill in.

Step 7: Dust the darkest shade from the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Blush palette onto your cheeks in an upward swoop to contour.

Step 3: Connect that line to your eyelid by drawing a line that’s angled down.

Step 4: Fill in the triangle.

Nothing is cuter than multi-colored pastel-painted eyes.

Step 1: Create a winged flick at the corner of your eye using the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliner in Black Party.

Step 2: Create tiny stripes of color with different light eye shadows from the dual-ended L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eye Shadow line. Start at the inner corner of your eye and work outwards until you reach your flick. Start with the light blue shade from BRB, then the yellow shade from Jet Set Blonde, then the light green shade from Mint Detox, then the orange shade from Sunset Fire, then the white shade from Jet Set Blonde, then the blue shade from Aqua Aura, then the white shade from Jet Set Blonde again, and finally the blue shade from Aqua Aura again.

Step 3: Since your eye look is so bold, keep your lip simple by applying the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lip in Nude Star. Outline your lips, then fill in the color.

Step 4: Sweep the darkest shade from the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Blush palette on the sides of your cheeks upwards for a sculpted look.

Stand out from the crowd in a memorable eye makeup look and lilac lip.

Step 1: Line your upper lash line with the black side of the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eye Shadow in Mistress Noir. At the inner corner of your eye, angle the line in towards your nose, and extend the line out past your eye.

Step 2: Next, trace your eyelid crease with the black shadow, connecting it to the first line so you have a winged effect on both ends of your eye.

Step 3: Fill in your eyelid with the black shadow.

Step 4: With the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliner in Black Party, draw a line upwards in a diagonal line from the center of your eye to the tip of your wing.

Step 5: Draw another line parallel from about halfway up, so it’s half the length as the other line you just created.

Step 6: Create your light purple lip using the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lip in Lilac Lust, outlining your lips first, then filling them in.
