La Tour created a combination cat/smoky eye using NARS black cream liner before setting with Urban Decay black shadow. She then stacked Ardell Demi lashes to feather out the eye, and kept the lips natural with OCC PennyRoyal lip liner.

If you’re wondering about Jhené’s slinky monochrome separates look, celebrity stylist Ade Samuel — who has also worked with Miley Cyrus and Nicole Richie — dressed her in an ensemble by desginer Michelle Mason. As for her accessories? Jhené is rocking Lust for Life shoes, a choker by The Shiny Squirrel, and a Vanessa Mooney necklace.

With the temperature dropping and Halloween just around the corner, this edgy cat eye will elevate any sweater-and-jeans combo. We’ll definitely be copying this look all season long.
