Who says you need special effects makeup to create a mermaid look? With your favorite shimmery eyeshadows and blush, you can transform yourself into an enchanting sea siren. This look is all about creating an iridescent glow with colors that mimic the ocean, like blues, greens, and purples.
How to Create the Enchanting Mermaid Look:
- Shimmering Eyeshadow for Scales: Start by applying a shimmery eyeshadow in shades of blue, green, or purple over your eyelids. You can also bring this shadow down to your cheekbones and temples to mimic the shine of mermaid scales. For added depth, layer multiple colors to create a multidimensional effect.
- Blush for a Flushed Glow: Use a peachy or pink blush to add color to the apples of your cheeks. Blend the blush upwards toward your temples for a seamless transition between the scales and the rest of your face.
- Highlight for Radiance: Apply a highlighter with a pearlescent or silver tone to your cheekbones, brow bones, and even down the bridge of your nose to enhance the shimmering mermaid effect.
- Finishing Touches: For extra flair, you can use small adhesive jewels or glitter around your eyes and cheekbones to create an aquatic look. Finish with a glossy pink or nude lipstick for a soft and natural mermaid look.
Pro Tip: You can achieve a “scale” effect by using a fishnet stocking as a stencil—simply press the netting against your face and apply eyeshadow over it to create a textured pattern that resembles scales.
