Tiara's Pastel Blue Cut Crease Look!

The spring and summer seasons are a great time to incorporate a pop of color into your makeup look. In this tutorial, I used a pastel blue as my pop of color but feel free to substitute this with any color you want! For this look, I suggest doing your eyes first as you might have to use a makeup wipe to clean up the look or clear away any fallout from the colorful eyeshadow.  

Start off by applying a base. You can use an eye primer or concealer but for this look, After you apply your eye primer/concealer, set it with an eyeshadow shade close to your skin tone.

Next, apply a medium brown shade in the crease with a fluffy blending brush. Blend the shadow up towards the brow bone

Then apply a deeper brown shade with a smaller blending brush, concentrating this mostly in the crease.

After you have your desired darkness, use a flat brush and concealer to draw a line where your eyelid ends and your crease begins

After cutting the crease, take another flat brush and apply a light blue shadow. (you can use any shade you want here if you don’t want to use blue or don’t have blue).

Using a makeup wipe, refine the outer-edge of the eyeshadow so that it is slightly winged out. Then, with a small pointed brush add the medium brown shade to the entire lower lash line, and the deep brown shade on the outer third of the lower lash line
