So this eye look is a very simple cut crease that I love to wear a lot personally. I love how it looks good with different eye shapes and suits a lot of people! It’s a very neutral clean look you can wear everyday, or for special occassions.
What You’ll Need:
• Neutral colored eyeshadow (such as white or nude, orange, brown, and black is optional. I used the Morphe 35O palette for this look)
• Concealer
• Black eyeliner (gel or liquid is fine)
• Flat shadow brush
• Fluffy blending brush
• Pencil brush
• Eyeliner brush
• Mascara, or fake lashes
How to do it
Step one:
If you have an eyeshadow primer, that would be perfect for this step, if not, concealer works great too. Prime your eyelids with concealer or eyeshadow primer. For this step, I like to use Better Skin concealer by Maybelline.
Step two:
Set the concealer or eyeshadow primer with white eyeshadow or an eyeshadow color that’s close to your skin tone.
Step three:
Grab a big fluffy brush and dip it in your transition shade. Your transition shade should be an light orange-y color, and put it in your crease. This color should be almost seamless, so do windshield wiper motions first, then circular motion, and make sure to flick the ends. It’s fine if this color gets on your lid because we will clean it up with concealer later on.
Step four:
Now, gef a fluffy brush that is smaller than the brush you used with the previous orange-y shade and pick a light chocolate-y brown color and put it lower than the orange shade. Do windshield wiper motions also, then circular motion, while flicking the end. Make sure you can still see the orange shade and the brown shade isn’t as much blended as the orange shade.
Step five:
Get a small brush like a pencil brush, and pick up a dark brown, almost black shade, and put it lower than the light chocolate brown shade. Again, do the windshield wiper motion, then circular motion, while flicking the end. At this point, there should be a gradient or ombré look with the orange shade, light brown shade, and dark brown shade. The dark brown should be the most visible color between the three and should be the least blended (all colors should be blended though).
Step six:
Pick up a small flat shadow brush and cut your crease with the concealer you used to prime your eyes and clean up under the dark brown shade. Now you have a clean and crisp cut crease. To set it, pick up the white or nude shade you used to set your primer.
Step seven:
Get your liquid eyeliner or gel eyeliner to do a simple wing or dramatic wing, whatever you’d like! Maybelline gel liner in blackest black from the drugstore is a very good gel liner, or Kat Von D’s tattoo liner in trooper.
Step eight:
Last but not least, curl your lashes and put mascara on! For me, I like to use false eyelashes, and I used the Kiss eyelashes in the style #11, And you’re done!
