Eye makeup ideas are fun because they can let you really test your creativity. Whether you are a fan of sophisticated cat-eye or sultry smokey eye makeup, the sky is the limit. You can blend multiple eye shadows to create a minimalist or dramatic effect. You can also use a duochrome eyeshadow, where the pigments make it look like two different colors depending on how the light hits it. If you love experimenting with eye makeup, you need to try the cut crease look. Like the name, when you try this little hack, you basically use eyeshadow or concealer to draw dramatic lines into the crease to accentuate the shape of your eyes. 

Celebrity makeup artist A.J. Crimson told Mind Body Green, "You can elongate a cut crease, you can make it more round, you can manipulate it in so many different ways to get the effect that you want out of it," where you play with light and shadow. Maybelline describes cut crease as a combination of "optical illusion" and "beauty trend" where lighter and darker colors can give you "Bambi-huge and defined" eyes. You can use a concealer all over your lid and define the crease with an angled brush for a dramatic effect. Ready to try the cutting crease trend? Here are the best concealers for creating a cut crease.

If you think cutting crease is a newish trend, think again. Celebrity makeup artist Blondie at Exclusive Artists told Refinery29, "Cut crease was originally used to create definition to the eyes in the golden age of Hollywood before the days of color photographs." So, it is quite a classic trend.

Go Beautilicious loves Maybelline Super Stay Active Wear Liquid Concealer because it is a full coverage concealer, making it super easy to cut creases. It has a nice creamy texture that makes it easily blendable without making the skin look too chalky. According to Maybelline, it is transfer and sweat-resistant and lasts a whopping 30 hours! It comes with a curve flex applicator to make it super easy to maneuver.

According to Ipsy, there are two ways you can try the cutting crease trend. One is the classic way, where all you need is eyeshadow and a primer, and the second is using a foundation; this slightly more pro way of jazzing up the classic trend requires a few more products, but nothing a little practice can't help with. If you don't have a foundation, a concealer can work equally well.

Byrdie speaks highly of Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing Industrial Strength Full Coverage Cream Concealer, and once you find out why, we think you will love it too. Celebrity makeup artist Carissa Ferreri told the outlet, "This concealer has really good coverage, and it has a bit of a good tackiness to it, so [the pigment] is going to adhere really well." According to Benefit Cosmetics, this creamy formula has a matte finish and can easily conceal all blemishes.
