1. Shape brows

Start by shaping your eyes with an eyebrow pencil.

How pigmented you need your product to be will depend on how thick your brows are and how much you need to fill them in.

2. Apply concealer

Next, go in with a concealer to clean up underneath your brows, and also use it on your lid as a base for the eyeshadows.

3. Apply setting powder

To prevent the concealer from creasing, set it with some setting powder.

4. Dot eyeshadow

Because I have hooded eyes, I'm going to map out a new crease above my natural crease line by placing three points.

One will be right in the center above my eyeball in the socket, and two in the corners. Using a warm purple shade of eyeshadow, I'm going to map out my new crease.

Using a small blending brush, place those three dots one in the center and two in the corners.

Proceed to join the three dots, and the easiest way to do it is to lift your hood while you blend it out.

While you join the dots, keep on adding more eye shadow till you’re happy with the intensity.

5. Blend out crease

Next, pick up a warm pink shade and blend the crease out further on the outer edge.

Keep on blending till the two eyeshadows melt into your skin tone. Then, diffuse it towards the center of the lid.

To balance everything out, repeat it in your lower lash line. So, picking up the deeper shade, smoke it out in your lower lash line from the very outer corner to the inner corner.

Then, using the lighter shade, soften this further.

6. Cut the crease

Now, I’m going to show you a fabulously easy way to cut the crease.

Saturate the top, curved part of an eyelash curler with some concealer.

Stamp it at the socket, placing one end of the curler in the inner corner of your eye.

7. Paint lids

Take some more concealer and paint your lid under that cut crease. Be sure to use a small brush to keep it concise.

Then, use your finger to diffuse out the edges.

8. Apply shimmer

While the concealer is still tacky, apply a gold shimmery eyeshadow on top of it in your inner corner.

Then, take a pink shimmery eyeshadow, press it right in the center of the lid, and blend it out with the other eye shadows.

9. Wing and tightline lids

Using a gel eyeliner, pull out a wing and line your lash line. Then, using an eyeliner pencil, tightline your eyes.

10. Highlighter inner corner

Next, highlight the inner corner with a little bit of shimmer. It adds so much drama. 

11. Apply false lashes

Curl your lashes and then apply some mascara to give your lashes some length and volume. Proceed to add false lashes.

If you have hooded eyes, go for false lashes that are winged at the side so that they don’t cover up the lid space and will give you a lot of volume in the outer corner.

12. Finish face makeup

Finish the look by using some bronzer to add warmth and dimension to your face.

Then, add a little bit more color with some blush.

Complete the look by outlining your lips and then filling them in with a touch of lipstick.

Cut crease makeup

Here's the finished eye look - how absolutely stunning is that?

And it gets done so quickly because you're stamping the cut crease as opposed to carving it out, which takes a lot of time.

It also comes out perfect every single time.

I'm living for this look. I love the overall look with the hair and the makeup and everything it looks so elegant.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
