Step by Step Guide on How to Do Two Amazing Cut Crease Looks
Posted by Jenny Yu on
The greatest thing about cut creases is that it makes your eyes look bigger and sexier, especially with small, hooded, or deep set eyes. Even if you don’t have small eyes, you can play them up as well and give it a grander look.
This eye makeup can be absolutely stunning as long as you do it correctly. If you haven’t tried it yet, prepared to be patient and it will take a few times to get it right.
For the fall season, I would suggest neutral colors because they match the warm colors of the season. You can also choose dark browns and maroon shades as well.
Get the 1st Look
Step 1 Start out your look by applying primer on your lid to ensure that your makeup stays put. Then apply your base shadow to your lid and use a white highlight on the inner corners of your eye and on the brow bone. |
|
Step 2 Draw a V-shape from the crease in the middle to the outer corner of your eye, making the line thicker on the outer corner and thinner on the inner corner. Step 3 Blend out your eyeliner toward the outer corner of your eye using an eye shader brush. While doing this, try to keep the bottom of your cut crease a clean, sharp line. |
|
Step 4 Use the top line of your cut crease as a guide to apply any eye shadow you like and blend in toward the inner corner of your eye. |
|
Step 5 (OPTIONAL STEP) For added drama, wing out your eyeliner. |
|
Step 6 For finishing touches, use the same eyeshadow along your lower lash line for a pop of color. |
|
Step 7 Finish off your cut crease with our lashes, and you’re good to go! |

Step 1 Start off your makeup by priming your eyelids, and then set it off with a white eyeshadow or translucent powder. |
|
Step 2 Next, apply a scotch tape where you want the cut to be. Make sure you put it right above where your eyeliner will be later so the cut and the winged liner will be parallel |
|
Step 3 Then start applying eyeshadow on the crease. parallel to each other. Make sure to blend everything out after every step. For more intensity, keep adding the same eyeshadow. |

Step 4 For more depth, take a darker eyeshadow and blend it. Then add an even darker eyeshadow to really cut the crease by focusing on your crease line. |
