cat eyes

Vertical pupil slits

Cat eyes describes eyes with vertical slit pupils, like those of a cat, or eyes that seem to gleam in low light.

The term also refers to a style of dramatic eye makeup with upswept liner at the outer corners, creating an elongated, feline look: She did her cat eyes for the party.

Cat eyes are also small reflective road markers that glow when headlights hit them.
