How to Apply St. Patrick's Day Makeup

Every March 17th, people celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Although you might not find to many dressing up for the occasion, a little face decoration will bring the spirit of the holiday to life. If you're in the mood to find a pot of gold, read through a few simple steps and learn how to turn yourself into a St. Patrick's Day delight.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sponge applicator
• Green cake makeup
• Gold glitter
• Gold eyeshadow
• Eyeshadow brush

1. Apply dark green cake makeup evenly over your entire face. Use a sponge applicator for best results.

2. Apply gold eyeshadow over the entire lid on both eyes and under each lash line. Apply green metallic eyelashes to each eye.

3. Turn your face up, close your eyes and sprinkle gold glitter over your face. Make sure to apply the glitter while the cake makeup is still wet.

4. Stick little green shamrocks on each cheek. You can also place them on your chin and forehead.

5. Use green lipstick for your lips. Outline your mouth with a dark green makeup pencil. Apply a fake green tooth cap over one of your teeth.

6. Purchase iGlow hair gel in green and apply it evenly over your hair. If you are bald, wear a green cap.

Tips & Warnings

• The more makeup you can find in green, the better your St. Patrick's Day costume will look. After you're finished applying the makeup, put on a green bow tie and a pair of green suspenders.
• Purchase makeup that is safe to use on skin. Most FDA-approved makeup is sold in the store and has a disclosure on the packaging.
