Have you ever watched a cut crease tutorial, and asked yourself, “Can I really do that?” You are definitely not alone! Cut creases can seem intimidating, especially if you rarely wear eye shadow. The good news is that there is a version of the cut crease for everyone. Here are five different cut creases that you can master, whether you are a novice or trying to take your skills to the next level, we have one for you.
-
Subtle Cut Crease
This is a more subtle version of the trend and is perfect for beginners. For the subtle version, define your crease area with a matte shadow, then clean up your lid and dab up a bit of concealer. You can also play around with cut crease eye makeup textures to add a soft and shimmery look. You are left with a subtle and petite eye makeup look that is also easy enough for a work morning.
-
Half Cut Crease
Half cut crease literally defines only the inner 1/2 of your eyelid. It adds a lifted effect to the eye that will make you look wide awake. Use a light, skin tone concealer for your front ½ of the eyelid, then layer on some shimmer, and finally pat on a deeper colour to your outer corner. Add mascara, and that is it – you won’t even need winged liner, just a quick swipe of mascara.
-
Smoke Cut Crease
This one is chic, sultry and a more blurred version of the cut crease. It helps you play with depth and smokes out the outer corner of your eye makeup by using dark browns or even black shades. You can then use concealer to carve out your lid to maintain the essence of a classic cut crease and add a few pumps of mascara for a dramatic effect.
-
Dramatic Cut Crease
The dramatic cut crease is all about intensity and precision. This look features a sharply defined crease line that separates contrasting shades, often a bold matte in the crease and a shimmering or metallic tone on the lid with over-the top mascara. Perfect for nights out or special occasions, this eye look adds depth, drama, and a high-fashion edge to your makeup.
-
Double Cut Crease
The double cut crease takes your eyeshadow game to the next level with not one, but two distinct crease lines. This technique creates a layered effect that adds dimension and artistry to your look. Often paired with vibrant colours or graphic liners, the double cut crease is a bold choice that instantly grabs attention and showcases your blending skills.
