St. Patrick’s Day Make-up Look

So, just to put it out there I am not Irish but I am sure somewhere down my ancestry path I could be. I am not necessarily religious either but this does not mean I don’t support those that are. I love the colour green and I always have done and seen as it is St.Patrick’s day on Sunday 17th March 2019 in the UK, I thought why not.

I used all my usual make-up products, see previous makeup post/ the link below. I started by mapping out my edge by using a thick tape and then I cut out a smaller shape for the inner corner.

I also created a halo effect with the light green above the eye and I underneath by dragging it down slightly. I definitely did not want it to be a normal make-up look.

I love how vibrant the green against the contrast of the other colours. I will include all products down below

My ‘Pat McGrath’ inspired make-up look

When you wake up one morning and feel productive, they are the days that sometimes become the best days, but how many of us have those. I certainly do not all the time. However, upon occasion I surprise myself and…. voila, a makeup look has been born!

So, a mini story time for you. I used to teach hair and makeup in a college and run my own freelance bridal makeup business. I guess I have always enjoyed how makeup can transform a person. On the other hand, due to my skin situation, see my previous post (My skin hang-up), I don’t always wear it.

Below, is my current makeup look I have been loving. A little different for a Wednesday post and one I would wear if I was going out for sure. Taking inspiration from Pat McGrath, I created the look below.

*Disclaimer. All the products I have used will be linked below. I have also paid for myself for all the products and all photographs belong to the thefrecklewithinme.

I started by applying foundation and brows (see products below). I then moved onto eyes. I applied a dark park (Dye, from the Kristen Leanne Urban Decay palette) on the outer third of the eye, straight down creating a harsh line, winging it out towards the end of my brow) I darkened the top corner of the purple and I took that out towards the end of my brow also.

I then added a lighter purple tone (Spitfire, from the same Urban Decay palette) on the line of the purple that meets the centre of the lid and across the op line of the darker purple. Blending out those edges so they looked smudged.

Then in order to create the halo at the front, I used the colour Lime Time (from the same palette) mixed with Leo and Brixton and I took the colour up towards the front of my brow. In the inner corner I added Recharged (By Urban Decay) for a little sparkle and I lined the green shade with Distortion glitter (Urban Decay)

Lime Time was added under the eye towards the outer corner, then the water line and tight line where lined with a blue, Maybelline pencil (220).
