What is a cut crease?

A technique where a light shadow on the lid is cut sharply against a darker crease, so the eye looks open and defined.

Why are there three views?

With the eyes open the cut line shows above the fold. Looking down shows the whole lid. The side angle shows the depth of the crease.

How does the half cut differ from the classic?

The half cut stops halfway across the lid, with a different colour on each half. The classic cuts across the whole lid.

Can I ask for another colour?

Yes. Type it in the direction field. That is a request for a result; the nine pictures are the samples shown here.

Cut crease looks: classic, half cut, double cut

Cut crease looks — a deep brown crease cut by a sharp curve of cream concealer across the whole lid, a black wing and full lashes, a close-up looking straight ahead, soft frontal daylight, a balance weighted to light so the cut line shows above the fold

Each is shown eyes open, looking down, and from a side angle. Type another cut or colour to ask for it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
