Eye of the Day

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.

  1. 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.

3.  Apply gold eye shadow to the tear duct area. Make sure to use a small, flat brush to ensure the powder goes exactly where you want it.

4. Apply silver eye shadow to the center of the lid. Make sure to not get any of the silver eye shadow on the gold eye shadow. Using a fluffy blending brush, blend around the edges.
