I have always loved the way cut creases look and I have tried them myself. The ones I have done have been moderately good but they always seem the slightest bit blended. I can never get it to be that PERFECT cut crease. Any advice?
if you use a more sharp, defined brush insted of an actual eyeshadow brush or fluffly brush you will get better results. i have to use cheap brushes for those kind of things too because they have harder bristles which will intensify the product
Another tip is that I ALWAYS use a little bit of black to define the line once I've pretty much finished applying all the shadows. It makes the line look sharp again after all the blending. My favourite "cut crease" angled liner brush is also very thin and has very stiff bristles.
Good tips here. Also you can go over a CC using a damp/wet brush as a final step. Just use Visine or water, load your brush with color and go over the CC. You can pull the color up a bit to blend. IWanted2CBethany did this, will look for the vid.

I've never tried it with gel liner. Thanks! I'll be sure to try it that way. :)

If you draw a slight line (almost like an outline first) then as Andii j said use a angled brush, add more product then blend...it sould be great!
