Welcome to my Mermaid Inspired Makeup Tutorial
by Alexa Poletti.
Of course, we'll start with a clean face.
I found these purple and blue glasses at GlassesShop.com.
I think the colors are so mermaidy and really,
really cute.
Let's start our transformation by turning
our eyes purple.
Then I will put on my base makeup.
This includes concealer, foundation, powder,
and eyeshadow primer.
Remember to wash your hands first if you're
going to use your fingers to apply makeup
like I do.
Everyone seems to want to know about my makeup
brushes,
so here they are.
This is a limited edition set from tokidoki
and Sephora.
They don't sell them anymore but you can probably
find them online
on eBay or Amazon.
Let's start getting aquatic with some teal
eyeshadow.
Now let's give our teal eyes a mermaid factor
with purple eyeshadow.
I'm going to put purple on the outer corners
of my eyes and along the crease.
Now I'm going to add an iridescent pearl eyeshadow
to the inner corners of my eyes
and underneath my eyes for a little highlight.
I am also going to highlight my brow bone
with the same pearl eyeshadow.
Wheee!
Do you like my eyeliner mustache?
I am going to make a thick black line across
my eye with liquid eyeliner.
For this look, I am going to use white eyeliner
to brighten my waterline.
Now I will add a teal eyeliner right underneath
my natural waterline for a bit of color.
Now it's time to load up our lashes with mascara.
Then I am going to use purple eyeshadow to
fill in my eyebrows,
because why not?
I think if anyone has purple eyebrows, it's
probably a mermaid.
My eyelashes today are Dolluxe number six,
Whiplash Attack.
Place the lashes on your eyes as close as
possible to your natural lash line.
I use a damp Q-Tip to make sure the lashes
are secure.
Where would a mermaid be without shimmery
pink lips?
I am going to add a little bit of dimension
to my lips with a purple lip gloss.
Mermaids are all about the hair.
My hair is okay, but I think I'm going to
need a little extra help for this look.
Nothing screams mermaid quite like the Rhapsody
in rose from Gothic Lolita Wigs.
If you want to be a mermaid out on the town,
this is a great stopping point.
Just grab some ocean themed accessories and
you're ready to be a mermaid for the day.
But of course, I won't stop there.
For a full mermaid transformation, I want
scales.
Here I am clipping back my bangs, which looks
really bad for now.
You basically just want to be able to have
access without hair in it.
Now I am going to use purple eyeshadow to
contour my cheek bones.
This is just going to be a base for underneath
our scales.
I found these glitter flakes at my local craft
store when I was looking for something to
make scales out of.
They come in all different colors and I thought
this colorway would be perfect for scales.
Using my finger, I apply eyelash glue in small
sections.
Then you just stick the glitter flakes to
the eyelash glue.
Be prepared to make a mess.
They get everywhere.
Here is our finished mermaid look.
Thank you so much for watching my mermaid
tutorial.
