Your best bet is to use a light matte brown. Pick something that's a little darker than your skin tone.

Use even darker browns than your transition shades to deepen the crease.
4. Use a Fluffy Brush

It's time to blend, and a fluffy brush is the best way to do that!
5. Hold Your Brush at an Angle

If you hold it upright, it'll create a rough line. That's why you have to remember to hold it at an angle.
6. Blend out with a Transition Shade

Soften your eyeshadow by returning to using your transition shade.
7. Do the Lid Last
