DEFINE THE CREASE
Dust lids with a neutral shadow that closely matches your skin tone, then sweep a dark brown eyeshadow just above the crease of the eye, close to the brow bone. TIP: Make this look last all night by starting with a makeup primer.

FOR BAMBI-HUGE EYES

SO...WHAT EXACTLY IS CUT CREASE?
Cut crease eyeshadow is a very technical term for a really cool look. Equal parts optical illusion and beauty trend, it's when a lighter shade of eyeshadow cuts across the crease of the eyelid, creating a dramatic contrast that makes eyes look Bambi-huge and defined. Want in on it? Grab your go-to neutral eyeshadow palette and favorite concealer and follow along with us!

CONTRAST WITH CONCEALER
Next, apply a light concealer across the lid to clean up the edges of the brown eyeshadow and provide a guide for the cut crease. Use an angled brush to sweep concealer outward and across toward the tail of the eyebrow.

CREATE THE "CUT"
Layer a cream or white shadow over where you've applied your concealer, to really amp up the contrast. This step creates that dramatic "cut crease" effect.
