You may look at sublime before and after pictures mermaid make-up on the Internet but you can’t reproduce it? Here are some essential steps delivered by the pros:
- To get a mermaid makeup, you have to start by working on your complexion. The base must absolutely be impeccable. This is why it is necessary to choose a foundation of good quality.
- Once the base is laid, the focus is on the eyes. They are clearly the highlight of mermaid makeup. You can choose several shades of eyeshadow to achieve it. Most of the time, we go to shades of blue, green and purple to create an ocean-inspired look. You can also add glitter or glitter eyeshadow on the eyelids. It’s up to you to choose between a tortoiseshell eyelid, a line of blue eyeliner or colored eyeshadow. For a sublime look, do not hesitate to add false eyelashes, you will be all the more glamorous.
- The next step is to add a touch of blush on the cheeks. A blush in pink or coral tones can bring the perfect touch of color to a glowing complexion. With a highlighter, also add light to the highlights of the face such as the cheekbones, the nose and the Cupid’s bow.
- The last step of mermaid makeup is to make up her lips. A gloss type lip gloss is ideal (in pink or coral tones). You can also choose bolder shades like purple or blue if you want to stand out, but it’s more risky!

- Complexion work is essential. Highlighter and foundation are your best allies. Know that there are colored or glittery highlighter to reinforce the shiny effect and sparkle of your makeup. Do you know the dolphin skin makeup trend? It is simply perfect for the sought-after make-up.
