Yesssirr! I am rocking a cut-crease look! As you know, my first attempt was a disaster! I was determined to get this look down! I kept practicing until, I created my own technique using some of the
Youtube tips I learned. This a
'night-out' look, because there's a lot going on. I am using the new
Wet 'n' Wild palette. The colors are beautiful and highly pigmented. The best part, it only cost me $5!!!
This 'cut-crease' look was requested by Cynthia! Thanks for the challenge! Hope you like.
(I decided to do the product listing a little different. Please comment and let me know if this way is better)
Face:
After moisturising my face with a moisturizer, I primed my face with Urban Decay Complexion Brightening Primer. Then I applied, MAC Pro Long Wear SPF 10 Foundation in NC45. I also, applied MAC Studio Fix Concealer under my eyes and anywhere else need 'concealing'. I set the foundation and concealer with MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC43. For blush, I contoured my cheeks with the BH Cosmetics 10 Pro Blush Palette. (see pictures for which ones I used)
Brows:
On dry skin I line my brows using MAC Eye Brow Pencil in Stud. Then, I used the E.L.F Eyebrow Kit to fill in any sparse areas. Then, I combed and set my brows with Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara.
Eyes:
I begin by prepping my lids with Urban Decay Shadow Primer Potion to prevent creasing. I then apply NYX JEP in Milk as a secondary eyeshadow base to ensure I get a good color payout.
To outline the cut-crease I applied the shimmery blue color (3rd color down on the right) from the Wet 'n' Wild Blue Had Me At Hello palette and blended out the line. For the crease, I continued to apply and blend the shimmery blue color up to my brow bone area.I followed this with the matte black color (4th color down on the left). For my highlight, I used the shimmery icy mint color and blended. To deepen the crease I used the shimmery blue and matte black color. I then applied MAC Paint Pot in Groundwork on my lids and then topped that with the shimmery turquoise color (2nd color down on the right).
I lined my upper lash line with Maybelline Waterproof Ultra Liner. For my lower lash line, I used the shimmery turquoise color and then applied a glitter turquoise color from the NYX Glitter Cream Palette in Ocean Breeze. I lined my lower lash line with L'oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Liner in Black. I then applied E.L.F Natural Black lashes for effect and finished my eyes with L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara.
Lips:
I first moisturized my lips with some Blistex and then applied MAC Lustre Lipstick in Viva Glam V and finished my lips MAC Lipglass in Viva Glam V
Describing the 'cut-crease' was no easy task! Lol! This palette, really surprised me! I am really happy with how this came out. I really love the colors! This a definite must-have!
Later, Bombshells!
