    I'm torn between doing the full cat-eye look or going with a more subtle look for my wedding day. Which looks best? I know it may be hard to decide without seeing the whole face but thats because in some I didn't like the foundation that was used, so I just want to know which eye make-up looks the best.

    Thanks!

    Just right off I like #2 best. But depending on what time of day your wedding is would sway me. That's just my opinion. Just make sure you're happy with it!

    I like #1 the best. I don't like the bottom eyeliner in #3, and I think #1 is a little smokier looking than #2 without being too dark.

    #2 - Is perfect!

    #1 is ok but without defining your bottom lid your eye kind of looks like it droops on the outside a bit. You could just do top liner and create a lift by drawing the line upwards as it gets to the outer corner!

    Ahh, I'm so torn! Thanks for the replies!

    A make-up artist did #1, my good friend did #2 and I did #3. I worry the cat eye look of #2 makes me look too "harsh", I'm so undecided, I think I will need to make another make-up trial appt. to try another look.

    I like #1 - I don't really like it when people line the bottom of their eyes (I think it makes them look too severe). Or do a variation between 1 & 2 and just line the bottom outer corner but don't bring it in as far to the middle of the eye as she did in #2..

    Number 2 if your wedding is in the late afternoon-evening. If it's a day time/morning event I would go with number 3! :)

    Definately 1 and 2 are best, but I like #1 the best. It draws your eye up more if that makes sense, and I think gives it a more appealing shape than #2.

    I like the light upper lid of #3, but the way that your lower lid was lined looks a bit too severe.

    #1, I think, is the softest of the three.

    Lining both lids closes in the eye and can look harsh, unless you blend, blend, blend (or use a lighter shade of liner, not the same one for the top lid).

    Thanks for all the feedback! I like #2 a lot, but worry its too much and that maybe the cat-eye isn't for me. I did #3 in hopes I could please myself and do my own bridal make-up but I think not, haha. I just now ended up making another make-up trial with a different artist, lets see what she does.

    The make-up artist for #1, I was a bit dissappointed, she used a cheap foundation for my face.

    I vote for look #2.  It may seem like a lot to you, but you need to wear a good amount for it to show up in pictures.

    I like #1. I think it makes your eyes look bigger and brighter, aka more visible in pictures. A dark line on the bottom will close up your eyes a bit and make them seem smaller in pictures.  I think you could still do your own make up, just leave off the bottom line. I also think a nice, clean cat eye with a brighter bottom lid seems so bridal.

    I like 1 and 3. I don't normally like lining my bottom lid as it smudges on me (but that's totally a personal preference). I think the really harsh cat eye look is a bit much with your eye shape though which is why I prefer 3.

    I like #2. Don't forget about pictures! If it's a bit more dramatic, it will show up nicely in photos!

    ok a little late i suppose, but i just wanted to say i like #2. and if you think it looks severe to line the bottom, you can try what i did... i did a cat eye, but then used a dark brown shadow to line the bottom. adds definition, but much softer. and then the attention will stay on the dramatic black line up top. just an idea! :)
