Nico Reyes: Moment of truth. Here we go.
Let's see what I was doing under there.
Ready?
It's working!
Oh, my God, it's working. [gasps]
That is a cut crease!
Oh, my God.
Today we're gonna be trying out the Crease Piece,
which is a makeup tool that you can...
use.
[laughter]
Today we're gonna be testing out the Crease Piece,
which is a makeup tool with different-size shields
to help you create the perfect
cut crease eye-shadow look.
The point is to make the process easier
for people at any makeup experience level
and any eye shape.
The creator of the Crease Piece, Brittney Foley,
got the idea to make this product
after one of her YouTube videos went viral
where she used a spoon to create her cut crease,
and she basically made her own solution
to the issue of spoons not fitting
every single eye shape,
and I think that's really cool.
I'm gonna evaluate the Crease Piece on
how easy it us to use,
how well it fits my eye shape,
and how it compares to a spoon.
So I will be calling in a spoon
to help me out with that part later.
This is only three shapes, but, OK,
it's still two more shapes than a spoon has,
so I'm happy with that.
My eyes are more almond-shaped than round,
so I'm gonna use the almond shape on one eye
and then the spoon trick on the other eye
just to see the differences.
So, step one is obviously gonna be
attaching my almond-shape shield
to my Crease Piece, so let's do that.
There's literally just some adhesive on the back,
and she said that it can actually
be washed, like normal,
and the adhesive should stay sticky,
as long as you put the little plastic cover
back on it when you're done.
Oh, God.
Uh.
[laughs nervously]
I dunno why I'm feeling like I'm gonna hurt myself.
Welp, that's it. There it is.
[laughs]
It doesn't feel, like, weird or anything.
Actually, it feels a little weird.
It kind of feels like a baby is softly
laying its hand over my eye.
I think the vibe I'm going for is more, like,
warm, neutral tones.
My sweater is a bit vomit-colored,
so, like, I don't wanna, like,
go in with a super-colorful rainbow eye look.
Moment of truth. Here we go.
Let's see what I was doing under there.
Ready?
It's working!
Oh, my God, it's working. [gasps]
That is a cut crease!
Oh, my God.
I feel like, because these are kind of, like,
premade shapes, too,
it's already custom for me and my eye shape,
so I don't really have to struggle and figure out
how I'm gonna build my crease from nothing.
Sorry if this looks God-awful.
I am in no way a makeup expert.
You could probably tell.
But I feel like this is actually
coming together way better
than if I was trying to do it on my own.
It looks like I'm singing into a tiny microphone.
[laughing]
Usually, at this point,
you'd break out your concealer
and actually cut your crease because you have,
like, a bunch of eye shadow on your lid,
but because of the Crease Piece,
I don't think I have to do that.
I'm just gonna add a little bit of
something to the lid area,
just for a little bit of sparkle,
some winged liner, and then we can
test it out with the spoon.
That was so easy and quick.
That took about 15 minutes,
which is way less time than I think
I would've taken if I did it just on my own.
Now let's move on to using the spoon,
'cause I feel like this is gonna suck.
So, this is our spoon.
This is just, like, the disposable,
compostable spoons that we have in the office.
It's a little bit smaller than
the metal spoons we had,
so I feel like this will work in my favor.
Already, it's way stiff,
and I don't think it's gonna
form to my eye very well, but,
let's see how it works.
I think I...oh, my God.
With the spoon, it feels like I'm about to
pop my eyeball out of my socket.
[gags]
Already, I'm having a bad time.
It's not 100% off base,
but it is a lot messier,
and it did go way too far out.
Uh...
OK.
I think that it's...
OK.
I don't think it looks bad.
You could probably, definitely
make a spoon work for you,
but the way my eyes are built,
I don't think this looks that good.
I think, let's go over the judging points,
and then we'll kind of come to a conclusion.
Let's talk about that.
So, was this product actually easy to use?
Yes, I would definitely give it five stars
for ease of use, because it's literally just
one, two, three, you pop it on,
you blend, nothing else to it, really,
so it definitely works.
Looking at myself in the monitor
and in the mirror,
I'm very much leaning towards this eye
that I used the Crease Piece on.
It just looks cleaner, nicer;
the contrast is more obvious, I think.
I think the problem with the spoon is that,
because it is just one shape
and not flexible at all,
is that it doesn't really
look great on my eye shape.
Like, I do think that this eye
came out way too round
for the almond shape of my eyes,
and this is just me nitpicking,
because these two products...
I'm talking like the spoon is a product.
[laughing]
This is me nitpicking because
it's honestly such a hard decision
that I kinda have to focus on stuff like this.
I do think that
the spoon side is just not as flattering
as the Crease Piece side.
And that's because the Crease Piece has
different-size shields to fit my shape.
So, I would give it five stars
for how well it fit my eye.
God, this is literally hard.
Why is this so hard?
I do this all the time.
So, I said that I would evaluate the Crease Piece on
how well it fit my eye,
how easy it is to use,
and how it compares to the spoon.
And I feel like, taking all three
of these things into consideration,
I do think that the Crease Piece is worth it.
And, ugh, I know,
it's $20 for a very, just, like, niche product,
not a lot of people do do cut creases,
but I feel like if you are somebody
who likes to do them often,
you would enjoy this product.
