Tutorial ~ Mermaid Makeup

Mermaid makeup is a fun style to try. You can really go overboard with the whole sea theme. You know, pearls, shells, etc.

Here's the look we're aiming for:

You will need:

Black, Bright Turquoise, Medium Turquoise, Pale Turquoise and White Eyeliner

Black, White and Medium Turquoise Eyepencil

Dark Turquoise, Light Brown, White, Pale Turquoise and Black Eyeshadow

Any Luxe eyeshadow

Nude and Turquoise Lipstick

Luxe Lipgloss

Brown and Turquoise Blush

Start off with the eyeliner: The black out to a little wing and underneath the eye up to the iris. Continue on on the bright turquoise, then medium turquoise, and then pale turquoise. Finish with white on the inside corners of the eyes.

Apply the black eyepencil starting from your wing of eyeliner and across the top of the eye to the centre. Use the white to make a "v" around the inside corners of the eye. Apply the turquoise eyepencil under the turquoise eyeliner

Don't forget to shade the eyebrows in black. You can change this in the "Face" section of your Beauty Parlour, or with an eyebrow pencil.

Add a bit of light brown eyeshadow to contour the nose. Apply a couple of layers of the dark turquoise eyeshadow as shown in the picture.

Highlight under the brow bone with white eyeshadow, and blend in between the turquoise  and brown with a pale turquoise or pale green.

Blend the black eyepencil and the turquoise eyeshadow with a few smoky layers of black eyeshadow.

Handy Hint: Put a blob of Luxe eyeshadow of any colour anywhere on the eye. Then click the "Back" button to remove it. The Luxe eyeshadow goes, but the sparkles stay! This is really handy when you want sparkles, but don't have the right colour Luxe.

Cover the lips in nude lipstick.

Apply turquoise lipstick as shown in the picture.

Put Luxe lipgloss over the turquoise lipstick.

Apply brown blush under the cheekbones. Also use some turquoise blush under the eyes as shown. Make sure you don't cover the white highlight on the cheeks though. Otherwise the cheeks will look flat.

And there you go! Just choose a hairstyle, put a couple of pairs of eyelashes on, and put on some sea themed accessories.
