Now that Valentine's Day has come and gone it's time to start thinking GREEN! I love a good green lipstick but let's face it, it's not the most wearable thing for everyday. But with St. Patrick's Day approaching it's time to break out all things green and get creative!

    I love using holidays as a time to inspire makeup looks. It allows me an excuse to come up with looks I may not wear any other time of the year. I'm probably not going to do much partying on St. Patrick's Day but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get festive with my makeup!

Below you will find a step by step tutorial on how to achieve this look as well as a full product list. 

Remember, have fun with this look and don't take it too seriously! It's a lot of fun to play with and it's sure to get you noticed. If you like this enough to replicate it please share, I would love to see it beauties!
