We know it feels like Christmas was only yesterday, yet here we are days away from the greenest day of the year, St.Patricks Day! However, we know green makeup isn’t for everyone so we are here to show you how to achieve a wearable St.Patricks day makeup look yet still looking festive!
Step 1: Skin prep
From the parade to the pub, St.Patricks day can be a long day! So its important your skin is prepped correctly to help keep your foundation in place.

Your skin will not only look flawless all day long but it will be protected from UV rays too!
Step 2: Complexion Perfection
As its now coming into spring, a light weight foundation such as the essence Fresh and Fit Foundation (€6.25) is the ideal complexion perfector! Enriched with vitamin complex and cranberry water the formula will help give your skin some extra hydration for a radiant, healthy look. Thanks to the delicate light reflecting pigments in this foundation it will also keep your skin looking both fresh and flawless all day long.

Not only is it waterproof and sweatproof but it also mattifies and fixes your makeup in place AND contains SPF10! A handy mirror also makes it the perfect companion on March 17th!

The Catrice Pro ‘Neon Earth’ slim eyeshadow palette (€11.45) is a new luxurious eyeshadow palette that contains 14 highly pigmented, colour-intensive, easy to blend shadows which contains stunning orange shades perfect for a patriotic eye look.
