Who is ready to have a little fun with their makeup look on St. Patrick’s Day? Regardless of what your plans are, it’s fun to try something a little different than your normal every day makeup. You don’t have to get too crazy, adding just a bit of green to your eyes can get you in a festive mood. Read on to see how to “get the look” and create fun festive eye looks perfect for St.Patrick’s Day.
Over the Horizon
I thought I’d kick things off with a makeup look that I created recently. I used one of my favorite palettes-the Motives Horizon Palette.
Here’s how you can get this St. Patrick’s Day makeup look.
- Start by applying “Secrets” to the transition area with a blender brush.
- Spray a flat shadow brush with 10 Years Younger Setting Spray and dip into “Jaded”. Pat “Jaded” onto your mobile lid.
- Using the same brush, dip into “Shallow” and apply to your inner corner.
- Using a crease brush, blend “Untold” into the outer corner to create depth. Also sweep “Untold” along your lower lash line.
- Apply Precisely The Point Eyeliner along your upper lash line.
- Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara and lashes to finish your look.
