Fiery Red Eye Makeup

In another outfit, Jennie serves up major, festival-ready makeup inspo with her daring, rosy eye makeup. To recreate this mesmerizing look, reach for a matte red or pink eyeshadow and apply the shade to both the eyelid and beneath the lower lash line, creating a smudgy, winged shape at the outer corner. As a final touch, draw a vertical stroke on the center of the eyelid and right below the eye with a shimmery eyeliner — the subtle detail is really the star of this easy-to-achieve eye look.
Long, Flowy Dress
