Bold Black & Copper Cut Crease

Popularized by super fabulous drag queens, a cut crease is a sharply-defined, exaggerated eye crease shape, mostly commonly done with eyeliner and blended out. Although it looks complicated, and definitely takes a little practice, when broken down, this cut crease tutorial makes it quite simple and can make a small eye actually look larger.

To create this look, you'll need the following products:

Pale, shimmery vanilla eye shadow.
Black cream or gel eyeliner
Black eye shadow
brown and orange matte eye shadows
Black liquid eyeliner
Black Mascara
Copper loose glitter
Set of false lashes
Also, the following tools will make the process much easier for you:
Flat shader brush for applying lid colour
Fluffy shadow brush
Synthetic, angled liner brush
Small crease brush
Pencil brush

Lets get started:

Begin with primed eyelids and pat the shimmery vanilla shade all over the lid with your flat shader brush.

  1. Take your angled liner brush and draw a thin line of gel or cream liner just above your natural crease, winging it out at the end slightly.
  2. Immediately smudge and blend the line upwards with a dense smudge brush dipped in black shadow.
  3. Follow with a brown shadow on a small crease brush, blending upwards toward the brow.
  4. Using your orange eyeshadow apply a small amount to the crease to blend the black toward the brow bone and add the same colour to the inner corner of your eye.
  5. Reinforce your original crease line by going back over with the gel or cream liner.
  6. Create a dramatic winged cat eye line with liquid liner.
  7. Apply a black shade to the lower lash line and follow with mascara.
  8. Coat your top and bottom lashes with mascara.
  9. Using a glitter adhesive, apply your glitter to the inner corner of your eye for that pop of colour.
  10. Apply a set of false lashes if desired.
