The reverse cat eye flips traditional eyeliner placement by focusing on the lower lash line instead of the top. This creates a dark, mysterious look that feels very alt and modern.

Concept Explanation

Lower lash liner is extended outward like a wing.

How to Apply

  1. Line lower lash line heavily.
  2. Extend liner outward.
  3. Smudge slightly.
  4. Leave top lash line bare or thin.

Materials Used

  • Gel or pencil liner
  • Smudge brush

4. Floating Crease Eyeliner

Introduction

Floating crease eyeliner is one of the most artistic alt makeup looks. The liner sits above the crease instead of on the lash line, creating an abstract, editorial effect.
