A Curvy Cut Crease Is a Must-Try This Summer — Here’s How to Get the Look

STEP 1:
Create Your First Line
After applying a base of foundation and concealer, pick up the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Eyeliner Stick in Fierce Purple. “You want to make sure your pencil is sharpened well!” says Jaikaran. Start your line above your eye’s natural crease, mimicking your eye shape. “If you have hooded eyes, you want to make sure you’re above the crease so you can definitely see the color.

STEP 2:
Create Your Middle Line
Pick up the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Eyeliner Stick in Pink Spirit, a hot pink shade, and create your middle line, mirroring exactly what you did with the purple shade above it. A pro tip from Jaikaran: “The major thing with this is that you wanna make sure that every time you’re doing this, you want to keep looking forward in the mirror as best you can. When your eyes are open, you’ll be able to see exactly where you’re placing the color.”![]()

Create Your Final Line

Complete the look with a few coats of mascara with the IT Cosmetics Lash Blowout Mascara. “Focus it on the top lashes so that your lashes look very feathery — I didn’t put too much on the bottom lashes.”
