The cat-eye: We look to icons of different eras for inspiration—plus, tips for painting your own

SOPHIA LOREN
THE LOOK
“When I recreate a Sophia Loren eye, it’s really about a fine, delicate line along the lashes, space and light in the centre of the lid, and drawing out the crease to meet the corner and make a perfect almond,” Dubroff says. “The big thing is that [the liner] is under the eye as well and the corners meet and drag the eye upward.” Brooke adds: “You also want to accentuate the brows and the lashes—that’s what makes this look strong. If you just have the liner, it’s incomplete.”
THE TOOLS
“I would probably use a pencil first and then I would top it off with a liquid liner,” says Dubroff. (Brooke agrees. “Whenever you use the liquid it’s much stronger.”) “I’d also probably put a few individual lashes on, because the thing about her lashes is that there are no clumps,” adds Dubroff. “The mascara is applied very thoughtfully and the lashes are very combed out so there’s space in between them.”
