..I Hate My Crease!

[Elizab33th]

Hey Fellow Mac Addicts. I need some hardcore crease help. I have a weird crease and I needed some advice on how to put a darker color in it, etc. Anything really would be nice.

This is what I mean. I did this just a second ago so I could post it on here. Like see the darker color on the outer V and crease and stuff...I mean it looks fine there with my eye closed, but when I open it, it looks weird.

This is a pic with my eye open and me sort of smiling. I just wanted to show my crease with my eye open.

Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

My crease is the same and i never have a problem.
maybe it is the way you are applying the color, how high you are applying the crease and outer V color, and how far out past your outer V you applied the makeup.
Plus, when i first starting wearing e/s, espeicially brighter colors, it always looked weird to me until i got used to it.


im sorry i didnt give a better answer, but you really arent asking any thing specific, just saying you have a wierd crease, but i dont see what is weird about it?

I would suggest that you try to maximize your lid space i.e. put your lid color up higher is a rounded shape so it looks like your lid is bigger. Then you can create your own crease/contour where ever you like. That way it should look fine with your eyes open and closed, lol. This is what I do b/c my actual crease in my lid is not at the top of my eyeball and gives me such a small amount of lid space. But just keep playing around to see what works for you.

You can see what I mean in this FOTD of mine (especially the last pic)

Do you have deep set eyes? It kinda looks like it in the pic but its hard to tell without a full face shot. What about it looks weird when your eyes are open? I would try not bringing the dark crease shade so far into your inner eye.....or just blend it more into your inner eye highlight shade.

This tut may help as well.

I looked at your FOTD and thats exactly what I meant! I meant to say that my crease isnt at the top of my eyeball!
