The Makeup Look You Need To Try Now!

When the term ‘cut crease’ first hit my radar nearly a year ago now I thought it was some super cool dance move that was setting dance floors on fire. Then on further reflection I thought maybe it was something that concrete pourers do. Then of course, I saw one, and had a starry eyes ‘where are my glasses’ moment, because the cut crease is (well, can be, if it’s done right) a truly beautiful makeup technique for your eyes, which is only becoming more and more popular with makeup addicts worldwide.

So what is the cut crease? Basically, it’s when you take an eyeshadow and cut along the crease of your eyelid (that’s the bit where the top of your eyeball and the bottom of your brow bone kind of meet), in order to emphasise your eyes. Like pretty much the whole of the makeup world, how you rock it is not set in stone. You can either go for a cleaner cut crease with no blending, or you can soften it by blending it out a little, or you can have fun with it by adding colour or glitter. Yes. Glitter. Check out this look from itsciarax:

Now for some further inspiration …

Laura-Leth had the office stopping and staring in awe at this look. Dramatic. Chic. And oh, we really want her plaits.

A solid cut crease with a glitter lid? Is it New Year’s Eve yet? Do we have to wait for New Year’s Eve? A work of art from _killandia_.

This look from sheristewartmua is so super pretty. There’s shimmer but it’s still a look you could rock in the daytime. Love.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to be practicing my cut crease technique because there’s nothing more awesome than next-level popping of your peepers. Of course, we’re not going to leave you high and dry in the land of ‘now I know what a cut crease is, but how exactly do I do it?’… so be sure to check out the tutorials in our Video area. From soft cut creases to dramatic, cut creases for monolids and hooded eyes, we’ve found fantastic tutorials to help you out.

So there you have it – the divine cut crease. Is this a look you’ll be attempting? Is it a style you like? Have you mastered this technique? Any experiences you care to share? Chat away…

I love the look but I have a hard enough time doing any eye look to be fair... darn you hooded eyes... still, I am off to scope out the videos anyway because I want to try and make it work so much

17th May, 2016

This looks really good, I have never tried it.

Wow great looks! That application of liquid eyeliner in the last pic is fab!! I've only worn gel eyeliner once haha so a bit more practise for me :)

9th May, 2016

I'll never master it as I have slightly hooded eyes but boy is this beautiful. I love it!

I'm definitely giving the hooded eyes cut crease tutorial by Stephanie a go. Hopefully I'll fluke an awesome result before the week end, I'll be adding falsies to the look too :)

8th May, 2016

Wow like the glitter lids!!! Beautiful!

Lol nope nowhere near mastered. I think hooded monolids just don't work for cut crease but sigh I can keep dreaming and hoping one day it'll magically turn out

Makeup with jah is the cut crease queen! Thank you so much for all of these beautiful inspos I have some new ladies to follow :) Cut crease look so extravagant, I love the dramatic ones but find they take me so long to do so I never do them. Have you seen the cut crease using a spoon? That looks so fun :)

I am still trying to master my liquid eyeliner, eye shadow application is hard for me, I have hooded eyes, love the look but not sure if I could pull it off

3rd May, 2016

I really dig this look! I would love to give this ago, I shall try and maybe fail lol

3rd May, 2016

I don't think it's for me. I'm still trying to master blending my eyeshadow.

3rd May, 2016

These MUAs have certainly done a fabulous job! The crease looks amazing. I could try but I don't think I would get the look quite like these :)

I don't do a really sharp one mine is really subtle and everyday more like a simple contoured look. Sometimes I like to put a brighter color on my non-existant lids to make them pop.
