Love me a good cut crease, but I must say attempting to do it on myself is a challenge sometimes. I have such creasing eyelids, and it smears easily if I don't do it right...but this turned out cool.
*Side note: For you who don't know what a cut crease is, its using a color (usually a very dark color) in the crease of the eye that drastically contrasts with the color on the lid- giving the appearance that color on the lid "cuts" off at the crease, oppose to blending/transitioning into another color. (that make sense????? ugh lol)* Like so....
and a closer look...
I am almost wearing a complete drugstore face.....with the exception of Blackout by Urban Decay in the crease (only because its by far the blackest of black eyeshadows), MAC's Graphiology (the deep purple-also in the crease); and, my Lorac Pro Eyeshadow Primer. I wish I had used a base that had a bit of color because this happened =>
As pretty as the eye turned out, it creased and smudged almost immediately. I used a frosty pink on my lid that came from a palette by my fave drugstore brand for eyeshadow- Wet n Wild of course. My motto is if you're going to use an inexpensive eyeshadow, always combine it with high quality primers. While Lorac does well with most shadows, the pink didn't adhere to if for some reason. If ever I do this eye again, I'll most likely use a paint pop by MAC, or something of that nature.
On my lips is my fave- Wet n Wild's Vamp It Up. I paired it with a black liner to deepen the color. I repeat and recycle colors because I love what I love on myself, and I'm stuck in my ways. lol Also, this is a blog of a cheapy. I'm aware that not everybody is gonna go out and spend their life on makeup.........................like me. :) So, using the same products to achieve different looks is a must, right?
So, I lied when I said that I didn't care for pairing a bold eye with a bold lip. I suppose I dig it when its done right...or my opinion of right lol
