I'll be the first to admit: my morning beauty routine usually consists only of cleansing and blemish management (read here: camouflage). I've worn glasses since high school, so a great deal of emphasis on eye makeup was rather lost on me for a long time.

I have since realized that girls with glasses can get away with so much more than our fair-visioned friends. Bold eye makeup is toned down through the lens, making our academic look a sexier version of Beauty & Brains. The hot reborn Cat's Eye seems tailor-made for us, and with sexy beach-tousled locks we suddenly feel very Marilyn.

Enter Lise Watier's Cat Eye Kit: a 6-piece collection of essential products to create the look, plus a handy step-by-step guide for the paint-by-number gals among us (raising my hand here).
I had attempted to wear the cat eye before this to little success. Now it's a matter of a quick minute or two to achieve exactly what I want. Better yet, every component in this kit will be easily adaptable to other looks... and I intend to try them all.

Lise Watier cosmetics are available at Shopper's Drug Mart, select department store boutiques, and online; Cat Eye Kit $39 CAD.
