Celebrities taking the trend to red carpets have given it a new life and looks like the mermaids are here to stay. Besides, it is not that tough to get the look down. Especially with these simple tips:
MERMAID EYES DONE RIGHT
The idea is to highlight the eyes with an iridescent glow. To get that right, it is important to prepare the whole face.
- The first step is to cleanse and moisturize the skin to get a moist and dewy look down. A mermaid is a water fairy after all.
- Now, apply a creamy primer all over the face including the eyelids. The creamy primer adds to the dewy look. It also gives eyelids a base to stick the shimmer on.
- You can apply a little concealer to the eyelids, to get a lighter shade on them. However, this is an optional process.
- Now apply a base colour from your ethereal eyeshadow palette. The lighter shade works perfectly for this makeup. You can use white or silver. Alternatively, shimmering, dull shades of various colours are also acceptable.
- The next step is to add some colour with glitter or shimmer to make the eyes pop out in shimmer shades.
- To create the mermaid tail effect, top the base colour off with pearl-based eyeshadow.
- Finally, if you want to go the extra mile, add a perfect eyeliner flick.
Finish the look with nude lipstick and lightly blushed or nude cheeks. The Mermaid-core makeup is here to stay. So, if you haven’t tried it yet, here’s your cue to swim on!
