Not a fan of the bottle cap method? That's okay. There's plenty of different ways to pull off a perfect crease. Per Ipsy, you can use foundation to apply your cut crease, which shortens your makeup routine but still allows a fabu-less look.
All you simply have to do is apply your eyeshadow base colors. Neutral colors such as browns and tans or shades that match your skin tone work best. Next, use a blending brush to blend out the neutral shade, Ipsy added. Once finished, you can move onto the foundation — dab a dot of the foundation near your upper lash line and slowly begin to move the foundation to your eyelid crease. It's important to take your time and be extra careful when completing this step. Once finished, you can apply a shimmery eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara.
If you're not a fan of this method, there are still other options to try. One is to use a flat brush while carving out the crease (via Byrdie). Carissa Ferreri, a celebrity makeup artist, said that with her flat brush, "I'm going to be able to draw the crease I want. This technique is really great for my girls that have a more heavy, hooded eyelid shape."
