Is it just us or does the color green get a bad rap in the beauty world? These makeup tutorials are here to prove that green on St. Patrick’s Day is anything but tacky. 

16 St. Patrick’s Day Makeup Tutorials That Are Anything But Tacky

We used to love wearing green on St. Patrick’s day when we were in elementary school and continued wearing it up until we reached high school (if only to avoid getting pinched by the person who was never our crush) until, finally, we outgrew both the color and the tradition. As we started experimenting with makeup, we told ourselves that there were few looks we could create that wouldn’t be… how do we put this? Tacky. So because, let’s face it, green can be a hard color to wear,  we stopped wearing green on St. Patrick’s and opted for other traditions… Most of which involved liquor of some sort.

We’re here to show you that green doesn’t have to be gaudy! There are tasteful, even beautiful, ways to wear the color and celebrate your Irish (if only for a day) spirit. Keep on scrolling to see 16 St. Patrick’s Day-inspired makeup tutorials.
