For weeks I have been trying to locate a good step by step tutorial to show you how to create a cut crease eyeshadow look. I myself have not quite yet perfected the technique and my camera is crap at taking out decent close up pictures. Imagine my excitement when I came across not just an excellent tutorial at www.fashionisers.com but the pictures are also perfectly clicked and the steps so simple and easy, it would inspire anyone to want to pull out their makeup and start practicing.
How to Create a Gradient Blue Cut Crease Eye Makeup Look
For the hot gradient blue cut crease eye makeup, you’ll need:
• Foundation
• a brow kit to fill in your eyebrows
• an eyeshadow base
• a white matte eyeshadow
• three hues of a blue eyeshadow (light blue, medium and a dark one)
• a black eyeliner
• a matte black eyeshadow to create the crease
• a brown eyeshadow
• mascara
• false eyelashes
• a lip gloss
• makeup brushes
So as you have all the necessary products, let’s start with our makeup application steps!
Step 1: Make sure you have a clean, fresh face in order to create a flawless base for your makeup.
Apply a toner to your face and a moisturizer. The latter step can be omitted, if you have oily skin. Now, apply a foundation primer for a long-lasting effect. Pick the best foundation for your skin tone and type and apply it all over your face with a makeup brush, a sponge or with your fingers. If you have some blemishes to conceal, turn to the concealer. Finally, contour your face with your favorite blush color and a highlighter.
Step 2: As you are done with your skin, move on to the most complicated part of the gradient blue cut crease eye makeup look: the eyes. For well-emphasized and beautiful eyes, it’s important to pay attention to the shape of your eyebrows too. If you don’t have the perfect shape, create one by lining the arch with a brown gel liner and then filling in your eyebrows with a brow shadow.
Step 3: In order to
prevent eyeshadow from creasing, apply an eyeshadow base all over the eyelids. Then to create the base for your eye makeup, put white matte eyeshadow on your lids and right under the brows.
Step 4: Apply your eyeshadow, starting with the lighter blue tone (Sleek Palette Colour Chill), which should be used in the middle of your lid. Next to it put the slightly darker blue tone (Inglot 371) and then the darkest one (Sleek Palette Colour Bolt).
Step 5: Apply the black eyeliner for a more defined eye makeup. Make sure to apply it, according to your eye shape, since the same line won’t flatter everyone (Learn
How to Apply Eyeliner According to Your Eye Shape). You may add some more blue tone at the end of the line drawn.
Step 6: Using the matte black eyeshadow, draw a fake crease above your natural crease line. We have used Inglot 63 matte eyeshadow here. For a more intense and dramatic look, you can apply a black gel liner over the crease line drawn. Blend the line with a brown eyeshadow, creating a flawless look. Afterwards, add more black eyeshadow in the same place.
Step 7: Highlight your lower lash line with the medium blue eye shadow (Inglot 371). Then apply a few coats of black mascara, and false eyelashes for a more dramatic result.
Step 8: Since your eyes are already bold and well-emphasized, leave your lips natural. Apply a delicate pink lip gloss (Sweet Crème by Eveline) and you are ready to go!
