Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Star-inspired - The most popular tutorial comes from YouTube star Lauren Luke (panacea81), demonstrating a flicked cat eye as seen on Rihanna and Angelina Jolie.

Daily wear - This very detailed tutorial by Sarah Victor gives you a brief history of the cat eye, made famous by actresses such as Audrey Hepburn, and then moves on to create a makeup look fit for everyday wear.

Nighttime - For a party version of the look, try combining the cat eye with eye shadow like in this Arabic-inspired tutorial by Priss.
