Take the lighter colour all the way up to just below your crease then taking a stiff brush draw your line of black up and over your crease, dragging upwards. Then take a fluffy brush and blend out with a grey or matte brown just for warmth!

Thanks, Lauren :) I was just asking about why my cut looks so weird (and honestly I don't like warmth which is why I only used black) but thanks for the explanation that helps a lot!

This is literally the second time I've ever done it, the first (sort of) was yesterday and then someone told me I had the right eye shape for it so I figured I'd really try :)

I love it but I think a darker lip would look better.

I used two, one was a Kat Von D black and the other was Urban Decay's Black Dog, but I'll definitely work on applying the black better. And Madison I'm not wearing any lip product, but what color would you suggest?

Hi Hannah!

The reason why your cut crease doesn't look "cut" is because you cut it too small. Try going higher with the blue color. I was just thinking of making another cut crease pictorial lol. I really do love the colors you chose.

When you cut your crease make sure you do it with your eye open. That way you know what shape & what direction you want it have/go.

Okay I'll definitely keep that in mind, Diggie :) and please do, I'm going to look at all the pictorials I can find!

Hi Hannah!

As Diggie above me recommended, start making your cut line a bit higher to widen the look of your eye, and to give you more room to lay down that lighter blue color. Also, as shown in the pictorial on the previous page of replies, connect your lower and upper last line to maintain continuity. In other words, bring the outer edge of the black to your lash line so there is no separation of color. You want the darker color to frame the lighter color, right now you just have it placed on top of it.

That makes sense thanks so much :)

Diggie is sooooo good at cut crease makeup! blend the black a little bit more and take the lid color up a little bit higher onto your lid. those colors are gorgeous on your eyes though!

You can also you an eyeliner juss only put it in your crease n put an eye shadow that matches the eyeliner in the outer of your eyes

Try cutting the crease with your eye open. You should be able to see the cut slightly above your lid. I also suggest using something a little more precise like an eye pencil or a gel liner, or even a liner brush with some shadow. I also saw that you said you didn't like too much warmth. You can take a light grey color on a tapered brush and gently blend the top of your line out.

Cut creases take a lot of practice and you will soon be able to do it with both your eyes closed!
By the way, I love that blue color!
