Cut crease eye makeup

Key points

  • A cut crease defines the socket line sharply with a darker shade.
  • Concealer is used to cut a clean line through the crease.
  • The lid is then filled with a lighter or shimmer shade.

Halo eye makeup

Key points

  • A halo eye has a light or shimmer shade in the centre of the lid.
  • Darker shades sit on the inner and outer corners.
  • Blending the edges creates a soft, glowing ring.

Baking technique

Key points

  • Baking means leaving loose powder on concealed areas for a few minutes.
  • The skin's warmth helps set the concealer and reduce creasing.
  • Dust off the extra powder with a fluffy brush.

Colour theory for makeup artists

Key points

  • Opposite colours on the colour wheel cancel each other out.
  • Peach or orange correctors neutralise dark circles; green tones down redness.
  • Undertones are warm, cool or neutral and guide shade choice.
