Wearing of the Green with Hard Candy

It’s good to be green…….whether we are taking about being eco friendly, or the color which was certainly a hot color for the spring fashions!  In time for St. Patrick’s Day, and readying us for spring, Hard Candy has all of us make-up lovers covered! Hard Candy is letting us wear the green, from pale green to emerald, and all colors in between. 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Mascara in Mermaid Teal, Powder Keg Hi-Explosive Loose Pigment Eye Shadow in Kryptonite, Walk the Line Liquid Eye liner in Lucky, Kal-Eye Descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo in Break Up, Meteore,Eyes Baked Shadow in Space Cadet, Eye Candy Cream Glitter Shadow in Ammo, Take Me Out Chopsticks Liner in Money and Camo, and Eye Def Glittery Eye Shadow in Algae help us get ready for spring! Make-up we can play with and at prices that won’t cost us lots of green!

And green eye shadow isn’t just for the St Patrick’s Day. The color is actually quite versatile and allows a full range of looks. It can be used to create a soft, ethereal look, or a bold and playful one. It depends on which shades you use and how you apply them. The key to successfully pulling off green eye make-up? Keep the rest of your make-up fairly neutral in color. This will put the focus and spotlight on your eyes.

For those of us new (or scared!) to green, I’ve found blending it with my everyday colors creates great depth. I am a big fan of blending in general, and am constantly layering on the colors and playing.  An easy way to try out green eye make-up without overdoing it is to line your bottom eyelid with a green liner. Blending it in with your every day make-up creates a subtle, yet pop of color flash.  Hard Candy’s Take Me out Chopsticks Liner in Money, with its little shimmer to catch the light looks amazing when splashed below your lashes.  I will also pop a layer of Mermaid Teal Fiberized Lash Weave Mascara over a coat of black and really concentrate it at the tips of the lashes. Hard Candy gives us the chance to get a head start with the hot spring beauty color, experiment, and wear it with confidence.

Hard Candy is available exclusively at Walmart and Walmart.com. Visit them at hardcandy.com, on facebook @Hard Candy, and twitter@hereshardcandy.

Make your friends green with envy and may the luck of the Irish be with you this year!
