We Tried It: Cat Eye Eyeliner Stick-Ons

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday August 30, 201221 comments

We've tried out fake lashes and we've experimented with lip tattoos, so it was inevitable that stick-on eyeliner would come our way soon! Sephora recently sent us a pair of their new Cat Eye Velvet Eyeliner Appliqués and obviously we just had to bust them out and try them to see how and if they worked. 


They're basically stickers, made of a velvet material and embellished with rhinestones. They'll run you about C$8.00. They also come with a small bottle of glue for extra adhesion. 


While you can trim them to fit your eye, I found that I didn't need to for my eye shape. After peeling them off the plastic, you apply them to clean eye lids (no shadow works best). They're fairly simple to apply but I found the inner corner of the liner really hard to pin down and I had to apply extra glue there. The one issue I had was I don't think the shape of the liner wouldn't fit most eyes. I had to fill in gaps with a black liner. 


I'll admit I wasn't too keen on trying these out. I thought they'd look pretty ridiculous, especially with the rhinestones. But when they're on, I actually found myself warming up to them. Sure, they're not an everyday look, but for a special occasion or just for fun it's a really easy and fast way to get a perfect cat eye! I don't like that these are only a one time use type of deal. Eight dollars seems steep for something I might only wear for three hours. Plus, I can totally see a situation occurring when one falls off and I don't realise until the end of the night, which would not be so hot. While these exceeded my expectations, I don't think they are worth the trouble in the long run. I'll just stick with my liquid liner for now, thank you very much! 

What do you think of this product? Thumbs up or down? Have you or would you ever try something like this?

That is a must try for sure! For me it might just be for Halloween as alot of people mention but on the right girl, these would look awesome!

I think the idea is interesting, but I'm not sold on them. I can do my own cat eye eyeliner and if I want rhinestones, I can do that too & it'd still probably be cheaper! :)

Thumbs up... I am pro stick-on-anything that has been coming out lately. Love stick on nails, I will try these stick on liners. COOL!

It's a great idea for people that have trouble creating a cat eye. I personally would just do it myself with liquid eyeliner and jewels. Although I'd probably buy the stick-on one time to try them out for fun.

I don't like them, I think they are to flashy! I agree the natural look is better

I think they are kinda neat but not something I feel I could wear. Do they feel heavy?
