Black Girl Soft Cut Crease Makeup Tutorial 🎀 | Ricki-Ann

We're starting off with a clean moisturized face. Then going in with our SheGlam lip plumper. Then priming our face with our e.l.f. primer, the one with the niacinamide. Just putting that all over the face so we can grip that makeup. Now we're going with the SheGlam brow gel to gel those hair down and then filling it with my brown eyeliner pencil. So I'm here filling in my eyebrows with a brow eyeliner making it dark and putting some light hair strokes at the front part. Now we're going to continue with our e.l.f. coma hydrating concealer under the eye to highlight the brows and then blending it out to ensure that there is no harsh lines. Now going in with my Maybelline fit me foundation. I'm going to put that all over my face including my forehead and remember your neck. Sometimes my foundation looks a bit lighter than my skin tone because I do have eczema so it will darken my skin tone whenever it is flaring so my foundations will not match. It's so exhausting but that's just life. It chose me and I didn't choose it at all. Trust me. That is us blended in. I do prefer a light to medium foundation especially for this look here because it feels very lightweight on my face even though my Juvia's foundation feels lightweight as well. I do prefer my Maybelline especially when I'm not using it in the day time. This is the day time even though you guys can't tell. My room is very dark. Then we're going in with my concealer. This is the same e.l.f. pomo hydrating concealer. I'm putting that on my chin, my upper lip, my nose, my forehead and under my eyes to brighten my face to highlight my face. Then you're just blending it in. Make sure that it is blended properly so it doesn't leave any harsh lines. Since it is a bit harder to blend out. Also going in with the concealer I'm going to place that all over my lid. I'm going to use this as a lid primer because we are doing a soft quad crease look today. Then we're going to go in with the e.l.f. blush on our cheeks and then blend it out very seamlessly. I'm going to put back a little bit of the concealer to smooth it out before the powder. Then we're going in with the Sasha Buttercup setting powder and we're going to set all those areas that we put the concealer in and we're going to push it in. Push the product in. I'll have combination skin but my t-zone area gets oily after a while but I don't use a lot of powder on it unfortunately because it dries up my skin initially. So I just set it once and I do not bake. Then we're going to do some reverse contouring. I like a deep contour so I do go in with reverse. Then we're going in with the contour. I'm using my Morphe 39A palette. Yes, from a long time ago. I use this for every single thing. It does have a middle section that I think it's a highlight and contour palette inside of the eyeshadow palette and I'm using it. I'm multi-purposing every single thing. Everything's going to have more than one purpose. I'm going to contour the cheekbones, the forehead even though I don't have any, the jawline and my chin. Yes, I do have a Michael Jackson chin but I love it. Then we're going to darken that reverse contour a little bit with the contour color. Alright, I'm then going to snatch up this nose. I'm going to contour my nose. I'm starting from the eyebrow and coming down so it's seamless. Just blend, blend, blend, blend because you do not want it harsh as this is the front of your face. Just blend it out, make it look seamless. Then we're going to go in with the same color that we use as contour and use this as our transition shade. We're just going to use our windshield wiper motion back and forth, back and forth so we can create some depth right in that crease because we are doing a soft crease look today. We're not going to go in too dark. We want a very subtle cut crease but still want it to have a little depth. We don't want it to go missing with the other color that we're going to put in. With a slightly darker shade, I'm going to go in right above the one we had before just to darken up the line just a little bit. I'm not going too dark with the color but just give a little bit of depth to the transition color. Then we're going to go in with another palette. It's just a random palette I have in house that has a white eyeshadow and we're going to pack that onto the lid and we're going to go into that cut crease motion so that's half moon outlining your eyeball. Wherever your eyeball is, girl, that's where you're going to start the cut crease. We're going to start right from the inner corner, go right up to a half moon shape. My trick is to look up to that space above where your eyes are that you can still see when you look up and that is your guideline for your cut crease so that when your eyes are open you still see the cut crease. We're going to carve that out on both eyes and after you get the shape you're going to pack in the color. Then we're going in again with the dark brown shadow. Make sure that it's blended at the end so it's seamless. Then we're going to go in under the eye with the two colors while using the crease and then we're going to smoke it out and the bottom eyelash. I'm going to use the same palette and put the color as or blush. Then I'm going to go in with this Shea Glam foundation powder all over the face with it to set all creams, everything on the face and also to bring back my natural color because I said my products are a bit lighter than me. Then we're going to spray with the Shea Glam setting spray. Then we're going to go in with my same eyeliner that I use on my eyebrows and we're going to line my lips and we're going to go in with the Shea Glam lip gloss. Finally, I'm going to go in with the Shea Glam eyeliner, dark eyeliner. Use that on the lash line to darken the eyes a bit. I'm going to finish off my hair so I can show you the final product. Then you have the final look of this makeup soft cut crease. Easy for beginners to follow because I'm a beginner myself. I am no makeup artist. I hope you guys like this look enough to recreate it.
