St. Patty's Day Looks: Smokey Green & Irish Pin-Up

I wanted to do 2 looks for St. Patty's Day this year. I wanted one that was more of the traditional look that I do everyday but in greens & one that was bright & more of a spring time look.
I almost never where green but always love it so much when I do it for a tutorial. I really think that it is a highly under rated eyeshadow color. I just always seem to forget about it for some reason.
The first look I wanted to do was a sparkly, smokier look. Something more based on the type of look that I wear everyday. I wanted something that had a big range of different greens & a bit of shimmering gold too.
I am really happy with how this came out (both with & without the black). It's a great way to make a brighter, bolder color more wearable.
Products Used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Greed
Rimmel Exaggerate Liner in Noir
Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush
Sleek Caribbean Collection Curacao Palette
Sleek Original Palette
Stila Smudge Stick in Peacock
Real Techniques  Accent Brush

Rimmel Soft Kohl in Jet Black
Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara
Gotta B' Urban Powder Brush
Ulta Cheek Color in Heartbreaker
Prestige Lipliner in Love
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Primrose
Maybelline Lipstick in Make Me Pink

I wanted the second look to be more of a spring green styled look. Something brightening & light. As soon as I saw the WNW trio, I knew it was perfect. I decided to go with a pin-up styled look so I could keep the lips a brighter color. The highlight shade is amazingly beautiful & adds so much to anything it's paired with.

This year I decided to do 2 looks for Valentine's Day. The glowing, perfect version of you that guys love & the sexy, sultry look you love to wear. I hope that you'll give them both a try!

Double Feature- Work/Family to Party Makeup & Style

I know that it is very easy to get double or even triple booked for events this time of year. 
I wanted to do a look that was in the holiday spirit & glamorous but toned down for work or family events. I also wanted it to be easy to transition this look into something for going to hang out with friends without having to go home & completely change everything. I wanted to be able to do a quick transition with minimal stuff that could be done in a car or small bathroom.
