We love ourselves a good throwback beauty moment, so it’s no surprise that we’re looking to the gorgeous Sophia Loren as our muse du jour. Relevant to our unhealthy obsession with ’60s glamour, we’re eager to recreate the actress’ iconic cateye ASAP. Here, we show you two cool ways to wear it both during the day and at night. With just a flick of liquid liner and the right lipstick to match, channeling your inner Italian bombshell just became a whole lot easier.

During The Day

For day-appropriate wear, keep your flick of liner thin and minimal—save the drama for evening escapades instead. Keep lashes light and lips colored in a subtle hue; think fresh nudes in mattifying formulas. Dab a little bit of highlighter on your cheek bones to complete the look.

At Night

Create a more dramatic cateye fit for an evening out with a thick-tipped applicator. Polish off the look with fluttering falsies, a vintage red lip and color-kissed cheeks.
