[Requested] Soft, Cool and Warm: Sky-blue and Burgundy Cut Crease Eye Tutorial (88 Matte Palette)
There were some requests for a specific cut-crease tutorial, but I didn’t want to use a typical black for the crease shade. Here’s one where I pair a pale sky-blue with warm shades like burgundy and orange on the socket, then cool shades like purple and silver on the lower lash line.
It’s a bit softer compared to some cut-crease looks out there, so feel free to up the drama by going for a much darker crease shade! (I used the original 88 palette; sorry for not listing it clearly earlier!)
The first thing you need to remember if you’re doing a cut-crease look is that you don’t actually cut your CREASE. Everyone’s crease is in a different spot and if you have mono-lids, or hooded eyes, part or all of your crease might be hidden. You should always follow the hollow of your SOCKET line instead. (Close your eyes and feel for the dipped curve right above your eye ball.)

Tip: You can use any pale shade for this step. I just picked a sky blue from the Coastalscents.com 88 original palette.
Tip: Use a slightly smaller brush for the cut crease, because you need the border with the blue to be quite precise.
Tip: Again, use a soft brush to blend out the edge of the burgundy so it fades up and out with no harsh lines.
Tip: Use a small detail brush or something very firm and flat to apply color on the lower lash line. You will get more precision and less fallout.
(The silver shade is not pictured but it’s on the right column of the palette.)
Product used: Clinique Quickliner Intense in Intense Black.
Liquid liner is a perfect base for a black false lash band. It’s also something that adds extra strength and definition to a cut-crease look.
Product used: Shu Uemura S curler. This curler is perfect for tucking your natural lashes into the false ones so they don’t peek out below. If you only have normal curlers, curl your natural lashes before you apply falsies.
