Not sure what to do for a St. Patty’s Day party? Here are some green makeup ideas to try so you look more like Selena instead of Shrek!

For a shimmery look (this one kills two birds with one stone; it fits St. Patrick’s Day and is W&M themed!): Apply a light gold eyeshadow to your whole lid and in the inner corner of your eyes. Add a darker gold shadow to your crease, and then apply a green eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eye. Smudge your top lashline with green liner to complete the look.

For a bolder look: Brush an eyeshadow that’s close to your skin tone in color all over your lid, then add a shadow three or four shades darker to your crease. Line your top lashline with black liner, then smudge a dark green liner on your bottom lashline.

For a simple look: Apply a flesh-toned eyeshadow to your whole lid. Brush an eyeshadow color three or four shades darker into your crease, then line your top lashline with a green liner.

 Add mascara and your favorite lip color to any of these looks and you’re done!
