How to Create a Matte Half Cut Crease with Patrick Ta Major Dimension III
The half cut crease is a popular eye makeup look that involves creating a sharp line across the crease of the eyelid, with a lighter shade above the crease and a darker shade below. This technique can be used to create a variety of looks, from subtle and everyday to bold and dramatic. In this tutorial, we will be using the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III eyeshadow palette to create a matte half cut crease. This palette features a range of warm and cool-toned matte shades, making it perfect for this look.
What You'll Need:
- Patrick Ta Major Dimension III Eyeshadow Palette
- Eyeshadow brushes (blending brush, crease brush, flat shader brush)
- Eyeshadow primer
- Black eyeliner pencil
- Mascara
Step 1: Prep Your Eyes
Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This will help to create a smooth base for your eyeshadow and prevent creasing. You can use your fingers or a flat shader brush to apply the primer.
Step 2: Apply a Transition Shade
Using a crease brush, apply a light transition shade to your crease. For this look, we will be using the shade 'Sheer' from the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III palette. Blend the shade into the crease using circular motions.
Step 3: Define Your Crease
Using a crease brush, apply a darker shade to your crease. We will be using the shade 'Pillow Talk' from the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III palette. Blend the shade into the crease using back-and-forth motions. This will create a defined crease line.
Step 4: Blend the Crease
Once you have applied the darker shade to your crease, use a blending brush to blend the edges of the shade. This will create a soft and seamless transition between the light and dark shades.
Step 5: Apply a Light Shade to the Lid
Using a flat shader brush, apply a light shade to your lid. We will be using the shade 'Champagne' from the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III palette. Blend the shade into the lid using circular motions.
Step 6: Tightline Your Eyes
Using a black eyeliner pencil, tightline your upper lash line. This will help to define your eyes and make them appear larger.
Step 7: Apply Mascara
Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes. This will complete the look and make your eyes pop.
