  • STEP 3:

    Brighten With Sparkle

    Next, take a small, flat detail brush and coat it in a silver, shimmery shadow. Pack the color in the inner corner, keeping it concentrated around the tear duct. For more color payoff, try spraying your brush with a setting spray before dipping into the pan.

  • STEP 4:

    Blend Away

    For a softer look, it’s a good idea to blend out the blue shadow. Use a buffing brush to diffuse the blue shadow across your crease, up to your brow bone and out to the outer corner of your eye. 


  • STEP 5:

    Draw a Wing

    Because no makeup look is complete without a wing, Janea suggests coating an angled brush with the black shadow from the NYX palette. Draw a thin wing, starting from the middle of your lash line. If you need help creating a straight line, we recommend using a piece of tape as a guide. Just make sure to remove it gently once your liner is complete. 


  • STEP 6:

    Frost it Off


    As a finishing touch, apply the NYX Professional Makeup Diamonds & Ice, Please Shadow Jelly in Lister Silver on the eyelid and up toward the brow bone. You can do this with a flat shadow brush or your finger. After applying any foundation, bronzer or blush, feel free to apply more Shadow Jelly onto the high points of your cheek for an added shimmer effect.
