The Backwards Cut Crease:

Have you ever tried to nail a ‘cut crease’ look but just ended up blending all of your shadow colors into something…well, blah? Then this technique will be perfect for you.

Begin by applying a primer to your entire lid. Then, using your favorite application tool, smooth your highlight color underneath your brow across the brow bone.
