Eye Shadow For Beginners: How to Do a Cut Crease | The Makeup Loft

A cut crease is the holy grail of eyeshadow techniques, but it can be intimidating for beginners. How does it work? Where do you begin? Watch makeup artist Mary MacFarlane's step-by-step tutorial on how to master this look.

So what is a cut crease? This eyeshadow technique extends your lids slightly above the natural crease, creating the illusion of added depth. No matter your eye shape, a cut crease will open them up creating the illusion of bigger, brigther eyes. It’s also great for showing off your favourite eyeshadows... like the City Mini Eyeshadow Palette: http://bit.ly/2J7bqRC

STEP 1. Start with a neutral base colour above the crease and blend upwards. 

STEP 2. Blend a contrasting colour into your crease, using the darkest shade on your outer corners as you would a smokey eye.

STEP 3. Now you need to ‘cut’ a new crease line to ensure it appears sharp and polished. Mary recommends using Master Conceal Concealer and a flat shader brush: http://bit.ly/2GLLPLa

STEP 4. Apply a natural eyeshadow colour to the lids and layer a light shimmer over the top.

STEP 5. Complete the look with a generous coating of Lash Sensation Mascara: http://bit.ly/2GOZ5ie
