Cut creases are a style of eyeshadow that involves darkening the crease of your eyelid to create a dramatic, smoky effect. From social media celebrities to movie stars, this look has become very popular. With a few good eyeshadows in both dark and bright hues, some careful blending, and a little practice, you can recreate this glamorous style at home.
This will help the color last and blend more naturally. Most eyeshadow primers come in liquid form, and can be applied with a soft makeup brush.
Using a fine-tipped makeup brush, carefully apply a neutral eyeshadow slightly lighter than your skin tone along the underside of your brow and in the inner corners of your eyes. This will make your eyes and brows look more defined.
This should be a thinner line than the first layer of eyeshadow, accenting only the deepest part of your crease. Use an angled eyeshadow brush. If you have hooded eyes, you may want to trace slightly above your creases with the darker eyeshadow so that the outline isn’t lost in the fold of your eyelid.
Use a flat concealer brush to apply a creamy, sticky concealer a couple of shades lighter than your skin color to the entire eyelid, stopping at your crease.
This is where creativity begins! Once your concealer is dry, go over the eyelid with a light shimmery eyeshadow and/or liner.
