As of right now, the hashtag #maskmakeup has nearly 23,000 photos connected to it on Instagram.

Now that PPE has been reimagined as an everyday accessory, attention is no longer paid to contouring, cheekbone highlights or lip liner when face to face with someone — it’s on the eyes.

Since we know that we’ll be wearing masks for the foreseeable future, there’s no better time to play around with eye makeup.

Inadvertently, once everyone’s faces went behind surgical and fabric masks, eye makeup became a main form of expression.

So, why not use this time to get creative and make your lids the focus of every conversation? Not to mention an extension of your personal style.

Similar to how dehydrated your lips can get in the fall and wintertime due to the change of weather, you’ll need an eye product (or four) that will lock in moisture and look great to boot.

NUDESTIX Magnetic Luminous Eye Colour in Prism

This easy-to-use, four-in-one pencil works as an eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyelid primer and cream highlighter. Though it can be layered for intensity, one application gives off an elegant glimmer and satiny finish that stays for up to nine hours. Plus, it’s waterproof, quick-drying, non-sticky, and comes in a compact makeup tin with a travel-sized mirror. With shadow sticks like Prism (pictured above), a luminous rose hue with a touch of blue, you can use the pencil’s built-in sharpener to fine tune before you go in for the kill.

Mixed with organic coconut and sunflower seed oils, its soft, blendable texture can be applied with your fingers or a brush.
