Despite our prowess with a felt-tipped eyeliner pen, we often stick to the same old cat eye [1]: a thin swipe across the lash line, ending with a tiny tail at the outer corner. It's classic, sure . . . but after a while, we get bored of our signature look. However, Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup, is inspiring us to shake up our go-to feline flick [2].

For the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2016 show, he created more than 40 different takes on the iconic cat eye [3]. There were designs that spotlighted the models' incredible bone structure, while others were so dramatic that they covered the entire upper eyelid. Philips started with two color frameworks — black and gold — before creating graphic, sculpted lines with his medium.

For black, he alternated between Diorshow Pro Liner Waterproof [4] ($32), a gel pencil, and liquid formula Diorshow Art Pen Intense Professional Felt-Tip Eyeliner [5] ($32), finishing each eye with mascara on upper lashes only.

The gold masterpieces were even more stunning. On a select few models, he painted the limited-edition Dior Addict Fluid Shadow in #545 Phenix [6] ($32) on lids using broad strokes. He then opted to skip mascara, making for a foiled statement eye.

The looks varied from punk-rock chic and mod majesty to full-on Cleopatra-like styles, but they were all gorgeous — and they will all motivate you to update your own makeup routine. See our favorite runway moments when you read on.
