Daily delight: Phoenix’s brand new Eye Dust

The upcoming festive months are busy ones come the twilight hours, and are more than enough of a good reason to get a bit celebratory with your make up, too. This needn’t mean a total overhaul of your usual kit, just a few added extras that’ll give your look a little sparkle and drama where you see fit. Lucky for you then that Phoenix – House of Makeup have just released their new Eye Dust shades, so sparkle you shall! A brand new arrival for the Auckland-based make up name, Eye Dust is a one of kind shimmer for the eyes, in a stunning pigment that is full of spirited, glimmering colour. With a fine and silky texture that’s super easy to use, the 25 brilliant different shades can go soft or subtle or as vibrant as you like, depending on their use. There is a broad palette of colours – sure to meet all needs –pinks, flesh nudes and shimmering corals, a palette of turquoise, green and aqua shades, then a range of lilacs, purple and magenta violets, a combination of neon oranges, melons and tangerines, and a collection of rich navy, cobalt blues and crystal sparkles. “Eye Dust is so easy to use; it creates an instant sparkle and attraction for the eyes in one easy swoop,” says Phoenix Renata, the founder & MD for Phoenix – House of Makeup. “The powder is fine in texture, soft to apply and easily to blend. With its smooth metallic and shimmering texture, Eye Dust is so versatile – for day and night makeup. Used alone it’s striking, or you can have fun combining various shades for a dramatic colour effect.” For strong dense colour, Eye Dust is best applied with a firm eye shadow brush, like Phoenix’s own Fluff Brush. For a softly blended and subtle result, use a larger more tapered blending brush, like Phoenix’s Blender. Now go forth and shine!
