Dramatic Cut Crease (and tutorial)

Almost every time I do a cut crease, I feel like I look like either a cheerleader or a superhero haha.  So I figured I would do a look based on a team's colors.  I was thinking of maybe doing a Yankee's look (since I'm from NY and all) but I figured that since I live in North Carolina now I'd do a look based on the Carolina Tar Heels whose colors are Carolina Blue (baby blue), navy, and white.  Here's a jacket (haha you like how I chose a woman's jacket instead of a jersey?) I found that shows the colors
Here's the final look I came up with:
And this is how I did it:
~I started off priming my eye with TFSI and tightlined my eye with Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner in deepest black:
~I applied the silver cream shadow from the Kat Von D "Metal Orchestra" palette on my lid (where I'll be placing the light blue).  I really don't like this cream shadow but I wanted to make sure that the blue would be cool toned enough and light enough to be Carolina Blue
~Using a smudge brush (from Target, it was like $2.50), I applied NYX ultra pearl mania in "Ocean Blue" on top of the silver
~Because I'm going to do a dark, harsh line above this blue, I want to make sure that I can see the light blue above my eyes when they're open
~Now for the rest of this look, these are the 2 main brushes I'll be using.  One's kind of a pencil brush from Sonia Kashuk (Target) and the other is a really small blending brush that came in the brush set I have
~So I'm going to use the pencil brush and make my line with a navy blue shadow (from my 88 palette)
~Now I'm going to use the other brush and blend that navy blue up towards my brow a bit
~And to make the blending a little easier, I'm going to put some of MAC "Blanc Type" (a skin tone shadow) above the blue up to my brow
~And then I'm going to go back and forth using the navy and skin tone shadows until I'm satisfied with the shape and blending 
~Now I'm going to add my liner (Bobbi Brown gel liner "Black Ink")
~And now I'm going to fill in the gap between my liner and the navy shadow with the light blue
~Now I'm going to add a highlight color (a mixture of NYX "White" and Bed Head "White" shadow) and add a little of that on the inner corner of my eye too.  I also put some of the navy shadow and the "Ocean Blue" under my eye
~Now add some mascara and keep the rest of your face relatively natural because the eyes are so dramatic and there you have it

And that's how I do my crazy cut crease/cheerleader/superhero look haha.  I'd rock it if I were going to a sporting event!  I hope someone finds this helpful!

Also I wanted to let you guys know that sometime in the near future I'm going to be doing a giveaway and I think you're going to like it!!!!  I hope you have a beautiful, wonderful day and thank you so much for checking this out!!
