St. Patty's Day Inspired Makeup

In the spirit of St. Patty's day I thought I would create a look for you in all it's green glory!  It's about the only time of year that truly you can make it work.  So you should go for it.  Dress up this look for a party with green glitter or sparkles on your face.  Everything for this look can be found at your local mall or at Ulta. 

To get the look.....
Eyes:
1.From the NYX Runway Collection in Secret World use the lightest green all over the lid, really patting in the color for the most saturation.
2. Take the other green from the same collection and put that in your crease and outer corner of the eye with a blending brush.  Softy blend up towards the brown bone.
3.To deepen the crease I used MAC Cosmetics Humid in the outer V and brought slightly into the crease.
4. Blend sharp edges with a clean blending brush.
5. Use the soft beige color in the collection on the brow bone.
6. Line heavily with a dark green pencil liner.  I used MAC eyeliner in Tarnish on the top and in the waterline.  Black will do the trick too.
7.Bring the Humid shadow in the lower lash line on the outer part and use the light green color you used on the lid to the lower lash line around the tear duct area. 
8. Finish with Red Cherry #41 lashes and mascara.

Cheeks:
MAC blush in Dainty

Lips:
MAC Shy Girl lipstick and Subculture lipliner. 

And that's it!  Happy St. Patty's day everyone!  I hope you have a fun and safe evening!

Video Tutorial - Spring Green

This video is the last in the BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette series.  In this video I use palette #1.  The inspiration is the newness of spring like the fresh grass and green leaves.  This palette has an amazing array of colors and a huge variety in each color scheme.  Enjoy the look!

You Will Need:
White eyeliner in a pencil, gel or cream formula
Small fluffy brush
Shimmery bright yellow eyeshadow
Bright green shimmery eyeshadow
Medium sized eyeshadow brush
Matte dark green eyeshadow
Small dome brush
Black green eyeliner
Pencil brush
Large blending brush
Satin white gold eyeshadow
Neutral warm blush
Angled blush brush
Mascara
Neutral lip stain or lip liner
Pale beige lipstick or lip gloss

Tips:
Think of your eye lids in thirds.
Use the white eyeliner as a base to light up the eyeshadow and for added richness and hold.
Keep the insides portion of you lids the lightest to open up the eyes and brighten.
Pat in the middle color (bright green) instead of brushing it in.  You will blend it out later.
Use your outer color in a Matte.  Adding a third shimmery color will over power the look.  That Matte creates a balance in texture.
Using a green black eyeliner keeps with the green theme and pulls all the colors together.  Black can also be used.
When applying eyeshadow to the lower lash line, match what you did on the top on the bottom.
Keep your lips and cheeks in a neutral warm color so that you don't over do the whole look.
Make sure to apply an eye, face and lip primer before application!
When adding a lighter shade of lip gloss on a darker liner or stain with lighten up the lips.
