Cut Crease for Hooded Eyelids!!!

I've always loved a cut crease eyeshadow look.  You see this a lot in Middle Eastern and Indian style of makeup.  It is such a great look for defining the eyes.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term 'cut crease', it's basically an eyeshadow look in which the surface of the eyelids is much lighter than the area surrounding it and the separation between the paler eyelid and darker eyeshadow around it is very defined.  It's very easy to do if you have deep set eyes and very defined double eyelids.  But for us girls with hooded eyelids, the look is harder to achieve and requires several layers of eyeshadow to create an illusion of deep set eyes.

The benefit of a hooded eyelid girl wearing this style of makeup?  Well, you guessed it!!  It's the usual.  This look creates more defined eyes, an illusion of bigger eyes and having well defined double eyelids. 

I was playing around with this look yesterday and thought I'd share it with you.  But stay tuned for next week's tutorial on how you can achieve this look yourself.
