Defined Cut-Crease Tutorial:

1. Prime the lid from the lash line to the brow using Motives Eye Base. Line the outer half of the top lash line with Earth khol pencil and extend the outer wing. Keeping your eye half-way closed, draw a half moon shape a few mm's above the natural crease ("cut-crease"), meeting with the outer wing. Thicken the line in the outer portion.
2. With a stiff crease brush, soften the liner above the cut-crease using In the Buff eyeshadow and windshield wiper motions.
3. Add a hint of purple directly to the cut-crease line, using Breaking Dawn eyeshadow on a precision brush. Blend the shade upwards using short strokes.
4. With a flat concealer brush, apply Gold Dust cream shadow below the cut-crease and all over the lid area.
5. Clean off the brush and apply Goddess eyeshadow on top of the cream shadow, concentrating on the tight borders.
6. Using an angled liner brush, line the bottom lash line and waterline using Amethyst gel liner and extend the outer lower wing.
7. Add a dash of Plum Fairy glitter on top of the liner, to the inner corner of the bottom lash line.
8. Line the top lash line with Motives Precision felt tip eye liner and extend the outer wing. Keep this line proportionally thicker than your every day liner to match the wider crease look. Add lashes and mascara.

• Motives Shape and Sculpt Duo -- for minor contouring & highlighting
