Popular techniques likeSmokey EyesWe've known halo eyes for a long time, but there's a new eyeshadow trend right now. It is perfect for everyday wear as it is not so noticeable and is usually made up with lighter eyeshadow.

A great eyeshadow trend for small eyes
With beautiful eye make-up you can not only emphasize your eyes, but also change their appearance. For example, you can have problems likeConceal droopy eyelidsor give deep-set eyes more size. There is currently a new eyeshadow trend in which the eyes are made larger and more expressive. Today we'll show you how you can create the look yourself.
This makeup looks classicCut Crease Looksimilar, but differs in its intensity. It can therefore be described as a kind of soft or half cut crease and is absolutely suitable for everyday use compared to its predecessor. And what's even better - the eye makeup can also be combined with a respirator mask.
We usually apply eyeshadow in such a way that we emphasize the outer edge of the eyelid crease. This method actually doesn't do much for ladies who have small or deep-set eyes. In contrast, the new eyeshadow trend also emphasizes the inner corner of the eye. This gives the eye a second crease and immediately appears larger. Such make-up is very popular in Asia because it gives women's naturally deep-set eyes a completely new look.
Make your eyes bigger with Soft Cut Crease
You can do wonderful tricks with eye make-up. In addition to creating a “second crease,” the eyeshadow in this look works to contour the nose. It appears visually narrower and can change your overall look.
For this make-up you will need concealer, a small, loosely bound blending brush, eyeshadow in a light brown shade or contour powder, eyeshadow in a nude shade, a larger blending brush for blending and possibly eyeliner.
This is how the new make-up trend works:
First, prime the eyelids with concealer to create a base for the eyeshadow. Then start with the smaller blending brush and gently blend into the brown eyeshadow. Using very light windshield wiper movements, move the brush from the center of the eye towards the nose, focusing on the upper lash line. Follow the shape of the lash line and round off the line at the inner corner of the eye. So you create a half-moon shape over the natural crease to create a “second” crease. Make up the eyelid with the nude eyeshadow. Now use the larger blending brush to blend the transitions. The look is rounded off with a wide winged eyeliner.
Tips for the perfect look
The more you blend the eyeshadow downwards towards the inner corner of the eye, the more intense the look will be. You can start with a lighter color and move on to a darker tone. The shadow in the corner of the eye also contours the nose.
When applying make-up to the eyelids, it is better to use subtle tones so that the make-up does not appear overpowering. The focus should be on the “false” eyelid crease.
To further enhance the effect for larger eyes, continue applying make-up to the new crease up to the outer corner of the eye and emphasize the lower lash line with the eye shadow. This creates a kind of frame for the eye, making it larger and more noticeable.

The eyeshadow trend also goes well with eye-catching looks
This cool makeup trend is also suitable for special occasions or as evening makeup. However, you should use stronger colors for a more intense look. You can create great accents with color if you only emphasize the inner and outer corners of the eye and not the entire eyelid.
If you prefer colorful eye make-up, you can also use bright shades of pink, green or blue. With acolored eyelinerin the same shade the make-up becomes even more eye-catching and playful.
The new trend is so versatile that it can also be combined with other techniques. For example, it looks wonderful in combination with smokey eye make-up and is ideal for a party evening. In the picture gallery you will find a few great looks with the Soft Cut Crease.
