Hi lovelies!
Sorry about the lack of posting, been sort of stressed/trying to get youtube sorted/having a mental block with posts to do. I have some ideas now though so things should hopefully be a lot more regular if all goes to plan! :)
Okay so disclaimer: I am not saying this is a PERFECT cut crease, it is not, I've seen so many better but the point is to practice and better yourself. And I've also found a photo of five months ago when I tried a cut crease vs this one I done for this blog post and there's a massive improvement...
So I guess what I'm saying is yes I know this isn't perfect but it's a HELL of a lot better than one I done a while ago. (Except I wish I had the skin that I had 5 months ago, I cry) Anyway, practice makes perfect and all that jazz. I'll get there and so can you!
Okay, so as always, if the products I have used are still available, I will link them. But for this look I used:
FOR THE FACE
- Garnier Moisture Match (I used the one for dry to very dry skin but you use one to cater to your skin)
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
- MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden
- Rimmel Stay Matte
- MAC Soft & Gentle MSF
- and Illamasqua Skinbase (I am shade 5 if that helps anyone)
FOR THE EYES/LIPS
- Illamasqua Browcake in Gaze
- Rimmel lipstick in Heather Shimmer
- MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy
- MAC Lipliner in Nightmoth
- Urban Decay Naked 3 palette
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Illamasqua Complement Palette using only the shade Forgiveness
- Loreal Blockbuster eyeliner
- Rimmel Day 2 Night Mascara
So obviously you can do this with any colours you have as long as you follow the same steps but I figured I'd just list everything I used anyway.
So without further ado, here's how I got this look.
- Moisturise your skin, make sure you have it nice and moisturised so your foundation can be even more glowy AND it gives it more time to settle in to your skin whilst you do your eyes.
- DO NOT DO YOUR BASE FIRST. Falldown is your enemy. Make sure it doesn't ruin the rest of your makeup by just following this simple step!!
- Prime your eyelids. Make sure you set it with an eyeshadow similar to your natural skintone. I just used my Rimmel Stay Matte powder.
- Using Nightmoth lip pencil (It's soft enough to be used in and on the eyes, trust me) draw/carve out your crease. You can do this either directly in the crease or if you have hooded eyes like me, a little bit above it - to create a new one.
- Using a very small dense pencil brush, buff out the line you just drew, only above it though to blend it out, not below it. Keep adding more pencil and blending it out until you feel your line is defined enough.
- Then, using a fluffy blending brush, blend out that line more with eyeshadows. (I mixed the shade Nooner from the Naked 3 Palette and Forgiveness from the Complement palette) If you feel you have lost some definition in the crease line, go back in with the pencil. This can be as defined or soft as you like. Just go with what you think looks right.
- Next, to "cut" the crease, pat a very light shadow (I used the very first one from the Naked 3, I can't remember the name at the moment) all over the mobile lid. Make sure you don't lose the definition you've created and don't worry if you do, just go back in with the pencil again.
- Next, eyeliner. You can do your eyeliner as thick or thin as you want, I went for thick just because it's the way I prefer it.
- Now with your eyes done, make sure you've wiped any falldown away, moisturise your skin again or use your primer. I personally don't use one. Do the rest of your base as you normally would and finally add mascara (and/or lashes if you like)
Your finished eyes should look a little something like this :)
