St. Patrick’s Day Makeup Looks to Rock the Holiday
Go Green on St. Paddy’s Day
We used to love wearing green on St. Paddy’s Day when we were in elementary school and continued wearing it up until we reached high school, until, finally, we outgrew both the color and the tradition.
As we started experimenting with makeup, we told ourselves that there were few looks we could create that wouldn’t be tacky. Green can be a hard color to rock sometimes, but with the help of these tutorials, you can definitely rock it!
Check out these tasteful, even beautiful, St. Patrick’s Day makeup looks you can do to celebrate the Irish (if only for a day) spirit in you!
1. Manny Mua’s Olive Smokey Eye
Manny brings the drama with this powerful olive smokey eye that’s perfect for a St. Paddy’s date or lucky charm-fueled drinking binge.
I really like this one because the smokey eye isn’t too loud and the olive eye shadow is a perfect take on St. Patrick’s day eye makeup.
2. Rupaul’s Drag Race-Inspired Green Spring Makeup
Nikkie’s green spring makeup is hitting two birds with one stone here. Not only is spring just around the corner, but this bright neon green eye makeup will also be a great look for St. Paddy’s Day!
3. Carli Bybel’s Pop of Green Makeup Tutorial
We love this beautiful, yet subtle makeup look. As we all know, the color green is the name of the game on St. Patrick’s Day and this pop of green eye makeup is just the perfect look!

Isn’t this green and yellow eyeshadow combo just divine? Of course, we love wearing green and yellow for spring. But this bright look is perfect for a daytime pub crawl or family get-together on St. Patrick’s Day as well.
7. Emerald Green Smokey Eye
Whoever said green eyeshadow is only for fair-skinned women has got it all wrong. This beautiful makeup tutorial for darker skin tones is the perfect testament to green’s versatility. That emerald smokey eye is beautiful!
8. Neutral Neon Green Makeup Look
We liked Carli Bybel’s pop of green eye makeup earlier, but Carli used a darker green shade (which isn’t for everyone).
