I know you guys get enough of this but I have trouble knowing where to properly place, transition, and blending up into the whereabouts of my crease with my colors. I use the Shades of Nature pallet by Pantone + Sephora. i have watch ed many youtube videos and made thousands of mistake and i only acknowledge where my lid is because my eyes arent one size fit all. after that i dont know where to go about the rest of the eye. and i really want to fake a crease correctly. please help !!

So you seem to be missing a natural crease. I would do your makeup the same way I would do an Asian eye. Have you tried any YouTube tutorials on Asian eyes? That could really help you.

You've got hooded lids like me, I usually just fill in my crease and go a little way above it, but not too much. Enkore does a YouTube tutorial on hooded lids :)

thanks for all your input but the thing is ...it gets challenging when you try to do a smokey eye like building from darker to light...it becomes muddylicious!!

try doing the crease with your eye open so you can see exactly how it will look . if your colors are getting muddy you may be over blending. try using a lighter hand or holding your brush further away from the bristles.
