[Make Up] Happy St. Patrick's Day Eye Shadow

St. Patrick's Day is Saturday and maybe a little leprechaun will come and visit or you need a great eye look for going out on the town... I found two YouTube tutorials that feature green and most specifically the use of the Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals palette

I found Frmheadtotoe's St. Patrick's Day tutorial and Xteeener's Smokey Olive Autumn Eye tutorial and I really like how Xteeener's tutorial only used the Sunbaked Neutral palette with a few extra steps.  I did smoke my eye look a little, but not as much as the original.  I hope you enjoy the quick and easy St. Patrick's Day Smoked Green Tutorial.




[Make Up]  Smoked Green Tutorial

Difficulty:
  • Easy

Time:
  • 10 to 20 minutes

Tools:


Maybelline Sunbaked Neutrals palette

Any black eye shadow with glitter (optional): Sonia Kashuk
  • Eyeshadow Brush
  • Blending brush
  • Eyeliner brush
  • Black Eye Liner
  • Eye Lash Curler
  • Mascara
Steps:

  1. With a eyeshadow brush, use the dark green on the outer half of your eye lid.  
  2. With the other side of the same brush, blend the light green from the inner corner of your eye to the dark green.
  3. With a blending brush, se the light matte brown to blend out the green with the brown.
  4. Using your finger, add the white under your brow bone.
  5. Add your favorite black eye liner to the top of both eyelids.  A wing is option and your preference.
  6. Using your finger, add a small amount of black [glitter] shadow to the outer corner of your eyelid.  Your finger works best to help minimize fall out.
  7. Using your black eyeliner, outline the outer corner of your water line.  On the bottom lash line using your eyeliner brush, use the dark brown on the outer 1/3, bronze on the middle 1/3 and white on the inner 1/3.
  8. Next touch up or blend for the final eyeshadow look.
  9. Now curl your eye lashes and use mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
  10. And the final look! :)
