The “cut crease” look is getting a lot of buzz and copycats lately. And if you’re not familiar, it just means to really play up and accentuate the crease of your eyelid which is essentially your eye socket. (Here are some quick visual examples via Pinterest) Some people go to extremes with this look which can look a bit “overdone” and is super time consuming to create.
So I am going to share with you a softer + quicker way to get the cut crease look!!

The key for my softer version is to use a shadow stick instead of a thin pencil or gel liner to outline your crease. By using my favorite Rimmel shadow stick it allows me to fudge a little (not be so precise) and to be able to smudge it to a soft finish. The trick is to start off by drawing a sideways V shape along the outer corner of each eye starting at the center of the lid and connecting to your lash line – think this shape: < (left eye) and this one > (right eye).
Finish off your eye look by smudging over the shadow stick with matching powder eyeshadow and highlighting the center of the lid with a light champagne or ivory shade. I added my favorite cheap falsies to really exaggerate the whole thing!
If you read my previous blog post you know I’ve been in Las Vegas this whole week and am finally home! This weekend my plan is to try to get my body back on east coast time and to rest and relax with my family who I have missed terribly!! The only thing I miss about LV is the weather I was enjoying – hello 70’s!! And now that I’m back in Georgia where it’s typically warm, the highs are only in the 30’s – what what?!! I hope everyone has a great (and warm!) weekend.
