Homecoming Makeup 2: Silver Cut Crease (afforable products)

 Here's my second homecoming look - a slight cut crease with Wet n Wild. The colors aren't the most pigmented, but do give a nice shimmery effect. I didn't really wear eyeliner and mascara out of this out of pure laziness - I wash off most tutorials after I'm done shooting.
Clockwise from eyeshadow: Wet n Wild Don't Steal My Thunder Trio, Tweezerman Classic Eyelash curler, NYX eyeshadow base in White, random black pencil liner (use any of your choosing; preferrably one made for smudging), my must have eye brushes, and a random Clinique mascara (use any mascara you like).
The bare eye 
 Apply the shadow base to the application area - lashline to browbone
 Sweep up the browbone shade on your flat shader
 Apply it to the lid as shown nyah.
 Now take the pencil brush and really work it into the eyelid shade - it's a pretty unpigmented shade but it'll work.
Blend it into the outer and inner thirds, but leave the middle to the frosty white. 
 Now this part looks scary, but we're just drawing the black eyeliner into the crease.
 This part looks wayyy better. Remember for the cut crease effect, blend upward and never into the lid.
Now take the pencil brush and sweep it into the pencil brush.
And now apply it on top of the blended eyeliner and pull upward and NOT onto the lid
Here it is more blended.
If you want, apply some silver under the outer eye.
Do anything with your eyeliner, curl your lashes, apply mascara, and TA-DA! (if you wanna know why I didn't do either, see opening paragraph)
Closed eye view.
