Jenisis New York’s Eye of the Day is a smoldering smokey eye inspired by makeup artist Maya Mia. This dramatic eye shadow is perfect an evening look, especially if you want to stand out from the crowd.
- Prime your eyes with an eye primer or a liquid based foundation. This is essential to help set the powder and make it long-lasting.

2. Apply white pencil eye shadow base to your eyelids. Putting a white base over the primer will help the eye shadow pop. Blend for even coverage using your finger or a makeup sponge.
