Sexy Tiger Makeup Looks

Unleash your inner tigress in sexy tiger makeup

An exotic twist on cat costumes and cat makeup, the tiger or "tigress" is every bit the seductress and she's infinitely more colorful, clad head to toe in orange and black. Black skinny jeans, a skin-tight orange tank and strappy stilettos can be your tiger costume in a pinch, that is, if you concentrate on creating the perfect tiger makeup with stripes and all. Try on sexy leopard or tiger makeup in our virtual makeup studio.

Crimp your mane to create an undone, animalistic effect by washing your hair, braiding it into three-inch sections allover while wet, and sleeping on it. When you awake in the morning, shake out the kinks, turn your head upside down to achieve volume and keep it in place with hairspray. Touches of black or orange hair color lend your Halloween costume a tigress feel.

Create a cat's eye by extending black liquid eyeliner upward and outward at the outer corners of each eye in Cleopatra fashion. False lashes? Check. Try an orange eyelid or create stripes on your face by using an orange-hued lipstick (applied directly to the face) or wet eyeshadow (applied with an eyeliner brush).

Use a stencil to play up the arches of your brows. Darkened, highly exaggerated brows and sharp fangs will make your tiger costume a tad more frightening than the average black cat. Meow. –Stephanie Simons
