Make it Bold

Using a bolder type of glitter on the lids, you can easily turn this look into a cut crease by adding a liquid liner in the crease for high definition. More of an artistic, abstract take on cut crease glitter shadow, this look stands out in the best way possible.

Cut crease shadow looks don't always need to be super precise. You can wear a grungier, lived-in glitter look by mixing deep shadow colors and creamy glitters for an edgier feel. Apply your shadow with whichever creamy glitter pigment suits your mood. If you're on the hunt for a pressed glitter pigment shadow, Victoria Beckham Beauty's Lid Lustre in Onyx ($36) is a great option.

Go Green

Jewel-toned green and gold hues come together for a perfect glitter cut crease eye makeup look. Choose an eyeliner that already has glitter in it to draw your cut crease, or pack some pigmented glitter on top if that's what you prefer.

If you want to create a cut crease look with glitter but don't want it all over, you can keep the glitter toward the eyes' inner corners instead of the lids. Apply your shadows in a cut crease as usual and press a glitter pigment on the inner corner of your eyes for the final touch.

All That Shimmers

Dark Dreaming

Serving Glitter

Glitter packs a powerful punch on the lids, while softer shadow shades create a cut crease for a fabulous look that's red carpet-worthy. Whether you use glittery shadow pigments or actual press-on gems for the lids is entirely up to you, it will be a hit either way.

Creating a well-defined cut crease doesn't mean you have to stick to one eyeshadow shade. Here, a darker shade defines the outer corner of the eyes, while a lighter shade within the same color family highlights the inner half of the eyelid.
