The Venezuelan host, actress and businesswoman understands how this style can add drama and sophistication to her beauty look, making her eyes look bigger and brighter.

USA three essential tricks that will get you red-carpet-ready in the blink of an eye.

She also recommends using a magnifying mirror with LED lights, or do your makeup in a place with plenty of natural light.

With your eyes open, make a dot with the eyeliner at the end of an imaginary perpendicular line from the outer edge of your eyebrow to the place near your eye where you want the tip of the cat-eye.
Then close the eye you are working on and trace a line at your lash line on your eyelid from that dot to your inner eye, the place where the lid meets the beginning of the nose.
Keep in mind that the distance between that line and the eyelashes will determine how thick the cat eye line will be. Fill in any gaps for a sleek, solid look. Then, repeat these steps on your other eye.

As a piece of final advice, Millie recommends avoiding using eyeliner inside the eyelid for Chiqui's makeup style. “I like to keep the inside of the eye as clean as possible,” she explains. “Otherwise it looks too heavy and the makeup loses the elegance."
