- - watercolor paints
- - black eyeliner / eyeliner

Instructions
Step 1
Making cat ears. Take thick cardboard, draw on it and cut out triangular (or teardrop-shaped with a pointed tip) ears. Attach the forms to the velvet fabric, step back 5 mm from the edges, paint with chalk or dry soap. Cut, turn inside out, and sew, leaving the bottom unsewn. Turn the fabric right side out, slide a cardboard mold inside, and lightly stuff the fabric with cotton wool. Sew the resulting ears to the headband. Hair can be left loose by adding volume with a hairdryer and a round comb.
Step 2
From the remnants of the fabric, cut two identical strips 6 cm wide and 50 cm long. This will be the tail. Sew the strips together, leaving a hole at the bottom for filling with cotton / foam. For flexibility of the tail, you can add a wire of the appropriate length.
Step 3
Put on leggings and mark on the fabric the place for the tail (tailbone level). You can sew on a tail or fasten it with a pin. Match the leggings with a top that matches the color and texture of the fabric. You can wear a fur jacket with a long pile on top and mark the waist with a black leather belt. If there is no jacket, close the joint between the top and leggings with a belt so that there is a visual sense of the integrity of the suit. Ankle boots should also "blend" with leggings.
Step 4
Get started with your makeup. Cleanse your skin with lotion. Apply moisturizer and then (after the cream is absorbed) foundation. Comb through your brows and shape them with a dark brown matte eyeshadow and pencil. Take your eyeliner or black eyeliner and draw arrows from the outer corners of your eyes to your temple. Draw the lash line on the eyelids. Take bundles of false eyelashes (11mm) and gently glue them on the eyelids closer to the natural lash line at the corners of the eyes, where the arrows are. After a couple of minutes, you can use mascara.
Step 5
Take watercolors and black pencil. Select the tip of the nose with a black line, as if you want to draw a heart. Paint the tip of the nose with black paint (including the skin around the nostrils). Draw a thin, longitudinal black line from the nose to the lips (not all the way). On the sides of the line, make some points and draw a cat's whiskers. Moisturize lips with hygienic lipstick, add volume with lip liner. Cover your lips with bright red matte lipstick or paint.
Step 6
Select the correct size for each finger. Cut the ends like a cat's claws and glue. File with a file. Cover with gold or black varnish.
