3 Creative Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

As celebrity personality Kermit the Frog would say, “It’s not easy being green.” And while it may not always be easy to don shades of green, it can be quite a bit of fun, especially on St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patty’s Day is not just an occasion to avoid leprechauns and drink festive green beer. It’s also an opportunity to commemorate Saint Patrick – the patron saint of Ireland – as well as a celebration of all things Irish.

What you may not know about this celebratory holiday is that during the 1990’s, The Republic of Ireland declared that St. Patrick’s Day would henceforth be a day to recognize innovation, creativity and grassroots involvement in Ireland in the form of expressive celebrations. To help you participate in these noble festivities, YouCam Makeup, Beauty Circle, and our sister app ImageChef have partnered up to give you three easy ways to express your creativity and engage in a digital version of what some call “the greatest celebration in the world!”

1. Create Your Own Leprechaun-Approved Makeup Style

Green is a color associated with life, nature, renewal, energy and harmony – all great things. As we all know, Leprechauns notoriously love gold. The color gold also has good associations including love, courage, passion and magic. Enjoy the holiday by expressing yourself with a colorful cosmetic style complete with the energy and magic behind green and gold! Create your own St. Patty’s Day makeup style using your YouCam Makeup app and post it on social media to avoid getting digitally pinched. A sparkly green and gold eye shadow palette, with green eye color, and some mascara and lipstick ought to do the trick!

2. Pick A Photo Frame That Would Make St. Patrick Proud

Now that you have the perfect green and gold makeup combo, celebrate all things Irish by putting your photo into a digital frame and adorning it with your most clever St. Patty’s Day slogan. Our partners at ImageChef have many fabulous frames to choose from, and our favorite is their ‘Seeing Green’ Photo Frame.

3. Show Off Your Creation On Social Media
