Marena's MixTape

Mar 12

March is underway, and that means St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Bring on the rainbows and leprechauns! If you like making your beauty game part of your overall St. Patrick’s Day look there’s a lot of goodies out there to help you add a little splash of green to celebrate — and they won’t cost you a pot gold! In the spirit of the holiday we’ve rounded up some of our favorite beauty products for the face, body, and nails to help you paint the town (or your makeup bag) green in this week’s Friday Five. Take a look!

1. Adding green to your eye makeup is the perfect way to be festive without being over-the-top

A smoky eye is one of the most popular and aesthetically pleasing eye looks out there, so why not try it in green? Creating a green smoky eye is one of the most wearable options. It’s also an easier look to run errands with on St. Patrick’s Day, and you can’t go wrong with ColourPop’s x The Child Eyeshadow Palette ($16) — a nine-shadow palette in full of olives, golds, and neutral tones in a range of finishes from matte to metallic.

2. A cool mossy green nail color can add a little splash of St. Paddy’s Day luck to your mani

This shade from Olive & June called “WKF” ($8) is mossy green shade that is a nice alternative to a neutral and right on trend with all those spring pastel hues.

3. Double your St. Patrick’s Day luck with another green eyeshadow palette

Adding a little green to your eye makeup is the perfect way to be festive without being over-the-top. E..L.F. Cosmetics has these Mint Melt ($4) and Mint to Be ($4) eyeshadow palettes that will give you endless combinations to experiment with depending on your mood or the (post-lockdown) occasion.

4. Bring good fortune to tired, stressed-out skin

The Eaone 4 in 1 Facial Massage Kit ($15), a four-piece set of massaging, depuffing, and cooling complexion tools. From an ice roller for some TikTok-approved skin icing to a gua sha for an effective, customized facial massage, the set includes everything you need in a lucky (and calming) green hue.

5. A green lipstick is an easy alternative to a full eye or face paint look

There’s no better way to say, “Kiss me, I’m Irish” than with a colored lipstick. Plus, it’s much less of a commitment than a full face paint or eye look. Keep in mind that a green lip is definitely a bold statement. If you’ve decided to opt for this option, pair it with a simple eye look – mascara and liner. Try Urban Decay’s Vice Lipstick in Hawkeye ($18) — a rich green hue with metallic shimmer.
