Classic Cut Crease | Favourite Makeup Looks



Not going to lie and say the technique of a 'cut crease' is the most simple makeup look. It's more one of those if you have a good bit of time to play with your makeup and you want something that will draw attention - most people will see the effort you have put in.

Where as it is a bit more technically challenging, the amount of products you require are quite minimal.

Basically you carve out your crease line with the liner (the hardest part is getting both eyes equal, takes alot of opening and closing/looking straight into a mirror) and then blending above with black eyeshadow. Be careful not to blend everywhere as you want the lid to be clean. If anyone would like a youtube tutorial on this please don't be afraid to request - same goes for anything!

What products I have on/used for this:

Face: Smashbox photofinish primer, Chanel perfection lumiere velvet (New favourite!) 20 beige, elf blush bronzer duo turks and caicos

Lips:
Mac Myth

Brows:
MUA Brow definer Fair (The black double sided one with a cream eyeshadow on the other side - New favourite!)
MUA brow mascara Fair
I have truly scrapped Mac brow products now that I have these cheap alternatives in my life, that are a fraction of the price, last longer and are just as good!  

Eyes:
Mac Soft ochre paint pot (swap for whatever primer you have)
Mac Smolder Eyeliner (swap for any black eyeliner)
Mac Carbon Eyeshadow (swap for any black eyeshadow you have)
Mascara Lancome Hynose Doll eyes 

I really hope this inspired you if anything, Thank you! xxx

Dramatic Lip Options | Cut Crease Eyemakeup






I am a big fan of a strong brow and a strong lip. I also love the cut crease technique, so here's a mix match of them all together. Not everyone's cup of tea, as it is a bold look, but as always take what you want from the look. 

Face Products:
Smashbox Original Primer
Bare Minerals Ready Foundation
Dior Honey Bronze
Elf Contour kit

Brows:
MUA undressed eyeshadow palette (Two matte brown colours, this is an amazing palette, super cheap and perfect for everyday eyeshadow looks too.)

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Sleek Delmar Palette
Benefit They're real liner (I got a sample of this, nothing special, I would give it a miss personally because I find the applicator unnecessarily annoying.)
Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara (AMAZING product!) 

Lips:
Ombre Version
Mac Smolder eyeliner and Topshop Lip Varnish Field Day

Black 
Topshop Velvet Lip Raven

Also on another note, if anyone is wondering how I styled my hair in these pictures. I set it in small rollers from wet, gives a Marilyn Monroe style which I love. 

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the style! xoxo
