Brows & Base

I started by shaping my eyebrows using Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate. I followed up by using the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer in Light/Medium Honey to clean up the edges and create a smooth base for my eyeshadow.

Next, I blended the concealer down onto my eyelids using a flat brush to act as a base. Using a Makeup Geek blending brush, I carefully blended the concealer into my skin for a seamless transition.

Eyeshadow Application

For the eyeshadow, I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 2. I started with 'Burnt Orange' as a transition shade, applying it to the crease to blend everything together.

I applied 'Cyprus Umber' in the center of my eyelid, using a windshield wiper motion to create depth and definition. I then blended 'Burnt Orange' again on top to soften the edges and create a seamless transition between the colors.

Cut Crease & Eyeliner

I used the lightest shade from the Carolinian Concealer Wheel in USA to create a cut crease. I applied this concealer precisely to define the crease, creating a sharp line.

Next, I applied the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 2 shade 'Tempura' on top of the concealer for a bright, highlighted look. I then used the Sigma 'Wicked' black eyeliner to create a wing.

Sigma Eyeliner Review

I tested Sigma's Cool Indoor white eyeliner and Description purple eyeliner for the first time. The white eyeliner applied smoothly and wasn't as watery as other brands I've tried.

I found the application process slightly more difficult than expected, possibly due to the liner's thickness. However, the pigment payoff was excellent and created a bold look.

Face & Finishing Touches

For my base, I used the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in 260 and set it with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder. I also used Tarte Shape Tape concealer to highlight and contour my face.

I finished the look with blush (Makeup Geek Infatuation), highlighter (Fenty Beauty Trophy Wife), and mascara (L'Oréal Lash Paradise). For lips, I used Ulta Beauty Matte Liquid Lipstick in Scandi, and for lashes, Allure Lashes in Vegas Nay.

Final Look & Product Review Conclusion

Overall, I'm happy with the cut crease look, especially the dramatic lashes. The Sigma black eyeliner performed exceptionally well, providing a strong, sharp line. However, the white eyeliner was slightly harder to work with than I anticipated.

The Sigma eyeliners, while having a good pigment payoff, were a bit thicker in consistency. This resulted in a slightly less precise application for the white liner, while the black one performed flawlessly. At $14 each, the price point is reasonable considering their quality.
