<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Eye Shadow Palette</h3>



<p>The eyeshadow palette that you use for your cut crease makeup needs to be the best of the best. The better your eyeshadows are (in terms of formula and pigmentation), the better it is going to be the results. Our favorite eyeshadow palettes for doing a cut crease eye makeup are Huda Beauty Nude Palette or the Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette by Morphe.

<p>The type of concealer that you use to create the full or the half cut crease eye makeup look needs to be very good. It needs to be of perfect consistency, which is also easily blendable. Plus, your concealer needs to be opaque so that you don’t have to do layering, which is a big NO-NO for a cut crease makeup. The best in our view is the Nars soft matte complete concealer. ;</p>



<p>Now, if you don’t want to go for a concealer and are looking for a softer cut crease makeup look, then we would recommend you to use a nude eyeshadow from your favorite palette. However, remember that the cut crease done with the eyeshadow will not be that defined as will be the one done with the concealer. ;</p>



<p>Strictly talking about the makeup products required to do a cut crease makeup, these are all. Now let’s go on and discuss the various cut crease looks that you can try. ;</p>
