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!

  2. Swatch of a shimmery powder eyeshadow in a soft champagne shade.

    Step 2: Apply prime shade

    Using the Luxury Palette eyeshadow palette in The Rebel, apply the Prime shade all over the lid and in the corner of the eyes to brighten and widen your gaze. The Eye Blender Brush is the perfect tool for this!

  3. A shimmery, khaki-bronze-coloured powder eyeshadow.

    Step 4: Apply smoke shade

    Blend the Smoke shade from the outer corner up and inwards of your eyelid and across the upper and lower lash line.

    Step 5: Apply pop shade

    Using your ring finger, apply the Pop shade directly on the eyelid for a super glam, disco look!

  6. Swatch of a black kohl pencil with the open liner pencil in front of it and its cap next o it.
