“If Your Cut Crease Disappears… Do This Instead”
your cut crease disappears the second you open your eyes… this is for you 🤍
Hooded, slightly hooded, or almond eyes can make traditional cut creases look like they vanish—and it’s SO frustrating.
Here’s what I do instead 👇
✨ I place the rounded cotton pad crease slightly ABOVE my natural crease
✨ I use softer blending instead of harsh lines
✨ I focus on lifting the outer corner for a more open eye look
This gives you that same lifted, defined look… without it disappearing halfway through the day 🙌
As a makeup artist for women 40+, I’m all about simple techniques that actually work in real life—not just on camera.

Do your cut creases disappear too?

If you struggle with your cut crease disappearing as soon as you open your eyes, especially if you have hooded, slightly hooded, or almond-shaped eyes, you are not alone. This common issue happens because the natural fold of your eyelid may cover or obscure the makeup crease, causing it to vanish throughout the day. One effective strategy is to redefine where you place your cut crease. Instead of following your natural crease exactly, try applying the cut crease slightly above it. This placement is crucial because it makes the crease more visible even when your eyes are open. Using a rounded brush or a cotton pad to create a soft, rounded crease can also help create a more natural lift, blending gently rather than using sharp lines which tend to get lost in hooded eyes. Another key tip is to focus on the outer corner of the eye. By lifting and extending the makeup here, you create an illusion of wider, more open eyes. This technique works well not only to keep the crease visible but also to enhance overall eye shape and expression. From personal experience, I’ve found that choosing the right eyeshadow formula can greatly impact the longevity of your cut crease. Creamy, long-lasting shadows or cream-to-powder formulas hold up better on hooded lids than powder eyeshadows which may crease or fade quickly. Setting your eyeshadow with a translucent powder or a shade close to your skin tone also helps prevent smudging and fading throughout the day. If you're over 40 like me, these methods are even more important as the eye area changes with age. The skin may become looser, and a heavier makeup line can sometimes appear out of place. Softer blending and a gentle lift help keep your look modern, fresh, and flattering. Lastly, don’t hesitate to experiment with different brushes and tools. A rounded cotton pad or fluffy brush works wonders for soft blending, while a more precise liner brush can define edges without harshness. Remember, makeup is about enhancing your natural beauty, so these techniques should feel comfortable and suit your personal style. Try these tips out and watch how your cut crease stays visible and beautifully shaped, no matter your eye shape or age. It’s all about working with your unique features rather than against them.
