St Patrick’s Day Green Smokey Eye Makeup

Get into the St Patrick's Day spirit with this step-by-step guide for creating a sultry green smokey eye, the perfect party makeup tutorial!

If there was ever an excuse to rock a green eyeshadow, it’s St Patrick’s Day. But we’re not talking 80s inspired lime green block colour, oh no. We’re thinking a sultry, smokey emerald eye; festive enough for the weekend celebrations, but sexy enough to wear with your favourite cocktail dress this St Paddy’s Day!
