I'm going to post some pictures of my attempt at a cut crease. The colorful one is my first attempt, but it came out too blended and the more neutral toned one is my second attempt. I also took notes from my last thread (make the contour more obvious, add some more blush). Please, give any tips and pointers to improve. As I said in my previous thread, I LOVE hearing feedback from you all and it really helps me improve when you guys give me constructive criticism (seriously, nitpick away! Anything helps!!) :)

Jennalynn- First of all, GREAT name. I've never heard it before and it's quite lovely! :) For the colorful one I used a white base and set it with an off-white shade. Then I started working in the pink and blending it out using a small brush. After that I started working in a dark brown, but I guess it had some purple from the last time I did some makeup, so it turned out purple. I just kinda went with it and started using a purple eyeshadow in the crease. :) For the neutral toned eye I began by putting a white base all over my lid, then drawing out where I wanted to cut the crease with a brown eyeliner. I blended it out with a pencil brush and placed a gold shadow all over my lid, making sure to create an edge with my brush. After that I picked up a medium brown shade with my pencil brush and began working that around the line. I then took a blending brush and blended it out until I felt happy with it. Next, I took a darker gold shade and placed it in the outer half of my eye for more dimension (again, I was sure to keep the line visible). Finally, I took a really small, thin, flat brush and carefully went over the bottom edge of the cut crease to help divide the browns from the golds. After that I did my face, eyeliner, and lashes and yeah. :) I hope that helped! Sorry for being so wordy and kinda vague! :/

Paola- Oh my, another fabulous name! Thanks, you're stunning dear! :)
