To help get that "puff" out from under the skin and help bring out the detail try to go easy on salts and sugars!

Decrease processed carbs like cakes breads and pastas and replace them with brown rice and yams but not lots, focus on fibrous veggies for carbs, like brocolli, green beans, greens etc.

Overall workout routine really doesn't have much to do with this issue. You're asking about getting definition in your shoulders basically, which is the same as getting definition in any muscle at all- Abs, chest, biceps- They all require the same basic attention, which is as follows-
First, get your nutrition right. In order to grow muscle, which you're trying to show off, you need to be eating the right foods, and in the right amounts. Muscle isn't built from nothing, and the first step is to build the muscle.
Second, you need to lower your body fat percentage so that the muscle is more visible, which is when you see those "cuts" or lines- Sure, you might feel like you don't have fat on your shoulders, but even a small amount in any area can hide those lines you want to see. In order to lower your bodyfat percentage, again you need the proper type of nutrition- Here's where it gets frustrating, since in order to build muscle, you need to take in more calories than your body needs. But, in order to lose fat, you need to take in less calories than it needs- So you see, it's hard to do both at the same time. Basically, this is why most of us here go through bulking and cutting phases- A few months of building muscle and eating a lot, and a few months of eating less and losing fat.

i have been trying to get this cut line since starting and i just cant seem to get it, some nerd kid who goes barely knows what hes doing from what i watch and he has started to get the cut line, my routine is as follows

3 sets x 10 barbell shoulder press
3 sets x 10 side dumbell raises, or machine (where ur elbow stays 90 degrees)
3 sets x 10 bent over shoulder raises

is there anything else i should do to get this line?
