Tutorial: How to Cut Your Crease

I've been getting a lot of requests to do a tutorial on how to 'cut your crease'. There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube that demonstrate this technique but I particularly find this technique the most easy and precise in my opinion. There are no right or wrong ways to do this. What's important is that you find a technique that you're most comfortable with. I've tried a lot of different ways to try crease cutting and I find myself going back to this technique so I hope this tutorial helps.

 STEP 1: Begin by applying your lid color. I chose to bring it slightly higher than my natural crease.

 STEP 2: With an eye pencil of any color (anything dark is preferred), outline your crease.

 This is how it should look like.

 STEP 3: With a pencil brush or smudger brush, smudge the black eyeliner upwards making sure you don't bring this color down to your eyelid.

 This is how it should look like.

STEP 4: With a pencil brush, apply black eyeshadow (or your preferred choice of color) to your crease and blend upwards.

This is how it should look like.

STEP 5: With a blending brush, blend out any harsh lines.

STEP 6: Apply a highlight color to your brow bone.

And you're finished! Just apply eyeliner, mascara, and false eyelashes!

  2. Thanks so much for this tutorial.

    I've been trying to cut my crease, but I find that everytime I do it, my crease colour would get on my lid and I wouldn't have a clean, precise line.

    I'm going to try this. (:
