about this video:

one of the biggest crazes right now is a cut crease. robert isn’t a huge fan of a cut crease because it’s a very dramatic look… which means it isn’t very wearable. however, it is still important for you to know how to do!

a cut crease is different than most other eye looks because you normally build from light to dark. in a cut crease you apply darker shades first and then come back and apply the highlight shade at the end. this creates a sharp line at the edge of the crease, which is why it’s called a cut crease.
