cat eye

Vintage glasses shape

Cat eye describes an almond shape that tapers to points at both ends, like a feline eye viewed horizontally.

The term appears most often in fashion: cat eye glasses sweep upward at the outer corners, and cat eye eyeliner extends past the lid in a dramatic wing.

A cat's eye is also a marble with a colored stripe down the center, or a reflective road marker that glows when headlights hit it.
