cut crease

Defined lid line

A cut crease is a makeup technique where eyeshadow is applied to create a sharp, defined line in the crease of the eyelid, making the mobile lid appear more prominent.

The effect is achieved by "cutting" into the crease with concealer or a contrasting color to create dramatic separation: Her cut crease made her eyes pop in photos.

The technique is popular for bold, sculpted eye looks.
