The cut crease eyeshadow technique has been one of the most popular makeup trends for a while now. It has taken over social media, so whether you love it or hate it, the cut crease is going down in makeup history as a legit look. This technique involves using a different colored eyeshadow to cut across the eyelid and create a sharp contrast in colors.
The cut is not blended, forming a clear crease on the eyelid. It is especially wonderful for anyone with deep-set, small, or hooded eyes because it makes them look bigger and brighter.
Creating a cut crease isn’t all that complicated, but it sure does take some practice. It also needs an understanding of eyeshadow placement, some killer blending skills, and the ability to sculpt a crease out of nothing but a flat shading brush and concealer. Do you think you have what it takes? Well, even if you’re new to the shadow game, you can still give it a shot. We’ve put together a simple tutorial to help you master the art of cut crease eyeshadow.

Step 1: Prep Your Eyelids
If you want to make any eye makeup look truly last, you need to put some serious effort into prepping. First, use a primer to make your eyelids as smooth as possible. Then, set the primer with some powder. This will make your eyeshadow stay in place all day long.

Step 2: Build The Crease
Pick a neutral tan shade from your eyeshadow palette. Pick up a small amount of eyeshadow with your brush and work it well into the crease. You can also flick it out slightly to create a fake wing. It will come in handy when you actually cut the crease.
Step 3: Deepen The Crease
Apply a slightly darker shade in your crease area with a fluffy blending brush. Work it in the crease in small windscreen wiper motions to deepen it. Then, take a clean blending brush and run it over your brow bone for a more tidy finish.
Step 4: Cut The Crease
Take some concealer on the back of your hand. Then, lay it on to your eyelid using a flat lip brush. Create a crisp, clean line on your crease and wing it out slightly at the corners. Make sure that both your eyes are looking as similar as possible.
Step 5: Decorate The Cut Crease
Use a shimmery gold eyeshadow and apply it directly on to the area where you applied the concealer. Apply winged liner in a way that complements your eye shape, curl your lashes, and apply mascara. If you want to take the look to the next level of glam, use a gold glitter eyeliner and apply it exactly where you cut the crease.
Tip: You can customize this look using different colors for the crease, lid, and eyeliner. A pair of falsies can also add extra oomph to the look.
Here’s the final look – a crisp, classy, and ultra-chic cut crease!
