Cat-eye effect lashes are designed to make the eyes look more lifted, elongated and defined. The best versions add outer-corner emphasis without making the eye look too heavy or harsh.
For a cat-eye effect, look for wispy length, lifted shape and enough definition to pull the eye outward.

What Makes a Lash Look Cat-Eye?
A cat-eye effect usually comes from outer-corner emphasis, lifted length and a shape that visually elongates the eye. Wispy and criss-cross textures can make the effect feel softer and more flattering.
