Today's tip is about layering for cut crease looks or defines crease looks.
Layering is what creates depth.
I like to use the same color in light, medium, and dark; and 4 different sized brushes.
A fluffy blending brush and 3 crease brushes.
I like to use a large, medium, and small crease brush; keep in mind that the sizes of brushes are relative to your crease shape and size.
The lightest shade and the largest crease brush will lay down your base, start at the outside corner and sweep inward following the shape of your eye.
You can can go all the way to the inner corner of the eye if you want.
If you have hooded or mono lids, you'll will need to stop every so often to check how high you the color is reaching and adjust.
Then use the fluffy blending brush to buff out and harsh lines.
With the medium shade and brush start at the outer corner and sweep in; I would bring the color into 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in.
Only sweep inward, this will give the most control over the gradient and you don't want to bring the color as high as your base color.
Being the medium shade it should fall between the edge of your base color and your crease.
Then with the same fluffy blending brush, lightly blend any harsh edges away.
Finally, with the darkest shade and smallest crease start at the outer corner sweep in and only in.
Bring it in about 1/2 to 1/3 of the way in, and try to keep the color most concentrated in the crease and outer corner.
Blend it lightly with that fluffy brush, add liner and mascara.
