Here is my first real attempt at a cut crease, I used "fiery" colors because I feel quite bad at the moment as I'm sick. Boredom brought me to this point, haha.
I'm not sure I nailed it, just looking for some criticism and tips. For example, how do I avoid getting the lid color onto the crease after a few minutes of wear?

Love the colors you used but I feel you need to blend more of the red shadow it looks to ugg I don't know how to explain it thats if you know what I'm talking about.

When I do my cut crease after I do the cut crease to tidy up the line and to make a base for the lid color I use nyx jumbo pencil in milk and use a concealer brush to clean up the cut crease line and to be the base for my lid color.

Thank you Hollie!
Sorry Cristina, I don't understand what "ugg" means :/ but yes, I have to work on my blending! Thanks to you and Jenny!
Thank you so much for the tip, Charlese. Makes total sense! I'll try again soon! I can't really get Nyx here but I'll use a cream base and see how it goes.

The colors are gorgeous! I love how bold it is. I stink at doing a cut crease, so no advice to give. Just compliments :)

That gold! Ahhh! Why don't my shadows ever look that pigmented on my eyeballs lol! :) I like the red too!

Nikelle B.
Beautiful colors!
I'm thinking maybe make the "cut" a little darker so it doesn't look like the 2 colors are blended together.
I think you did great for your first try! mine was hideous lol

Really nice job, especially for a first real try!:) Hood blending and I adore the shape of your liner!!

Thank you Charlese, I'll try that!
Shaye, I used a mixing medium for the gold to make it more pigmented, it really helped! And thank you!
Nikelle, that makes sense, I'll try doing that too, thanks!
And thank you MaKenzie!
