Black&white cut crease cat eye

This is one of my very dramatic looks inspired by 60's Mod style combined with cat eye. I've chosen to use black and white to make it appear even more "edgy".

I didn't use any false lashes but they would have been perfect for this look.

 I couldn't decide on lip color, I first wanted to use bright red but then I thought I should better keep it more neutral since the eyes are so dramatic. But feel free to use any lip color you wish. Dark red or pink would look awesome as well.







How to achieve this look:

Prime your lids first. I've used Paint Pot (soft ochre). Than mark your crease shape. I have slightly hooded lids so I went bit above my natural crease. I used black gel liner for it. Then I smudged it with matt black shadow. You may choose to go thicker (as I did) or thinner at this part.
 Then I blended the line slightly upwards with chocolate matt eyeshadow to bring bit warmth into the look and also to avoid black (in combination with white) to look blue-ish.
After brown was applied I blended it with matt beige shadow to make transition smooth. I applied matt white shadow under the brows to highlight the area.
Then I applied base for my white shadow onto moving part of my lid. I used white kohl pencil and I blended it with my finger. Then I applied white matt eye shadow on top of it. I made sure I wouldn't cross the black crease line I've applied earlier.
Then I moved on to eyeliner. I used L'Oréal's Gel intenza liner and I applied it from very inner corner of my eyes all the way out and I extended the line till it met the crease line where I connected them. Then I went with black matt shadow over it.
So, that's the whole trick on cut crease cat eyes. Rest of the make up is my standard rutine.
