Question

I got told instructions on how to apply eye make up .. i have no idea what the crease is or anything! lol. shame on me!

can anyone explain all the parts of the eyelid and stuff that apply to applying eye makeup? lol

Answer 1

Close you eyes and feel the eyeball and the crease is where you can feel the top of the eyeball.

Answer 2

There are three basic parts of the eye when it comes to applying eyehadow; The lid, the crease, and the brow bone. The lid is, obviously, the entire lid of your eye. The brow bone is the bone right below your eyebrows. The crease is the place between your eyelid and the brow bone. It's all pretty straightforward. ^^

Below are a couple of diagrams that might help. Hope you figure it out!

Answer 3

you want to put your foundation all over your face first, even your eye lids. eye shadow sticks better and lasts longer if its on top of other make up instead on right on top of your skin.

then you take a base color and put it from eye lash to eye brow, a base color will be the lightest color, like a cream or white, whatever colors depending on the color skew you are doing.

the you take your medium color and put it up to the crease, which is middle way up for most eye shapes. if you touch your eye lid with your finger you can feel where your eye makes a crease.

then you put the darker color just in the crease to add definition, you can do different styles depending on what look you are going for.

then put some eye liner on as thin and as close to your eye lash line as possible, some mascara and youre pretty much done.

any time you are in a book store, or by one, just pop in and look at the make up books to see all of the different styles and affects you can do with make up. it makes a big difference.

dont worry if it all feels like too much to learn i used to be clue less to it all and now i do all of my friends make up for them, so you will get there. just play around with eye shaows to see what colors look best on you and how you like to shade it all in. have fun with it!

Answer 5

It's the fold of skin on your eyelid when you open your eyes..Just think of a folded paper, the part where the paper is folded is the crease..Many Asians have less noticeable crease on their eyelids..Hope it helps..

Answer 6

its the part that bends when u close your eye

so just close one eye see where it is, open and apply
