Get Prepared
- Get your face prepared first. Cleanse and wash with a mild cleanser and fresh cold water. Apply a toner if needed, and then apply a thick layer of moisturizer to keep the skin soft, smooth, and supple.
- Start with the bare face makeup. Apply a good primer that will make your makeup application much more straightforward. You may also try a BB or CC cream or a suitable foundation in one or two shades lighter than your original skin tone. Also, ensure you conceal your spots and blemishes with a perfect concealer.

Create The ‘Scales’
- You will need a ‘fishnet’ mask to create beautiful ‘mermaid scales.’ It can be a stocking, pantyhose, mesh weaving, or wig cap. Please find the most suitable alternative for yourself and place it over your face.
- Get a makeup sponge and a teal / sea-blue colored cream eyeshadow, and create the ‘scales’ over your mask. Pick some shadow with the sponge and dab it onto your forehead, temple area, and the top of your cheekbones. You may also use your fingertips for this purpose.
- Blend in the shadow to some extent with the help of a brush. Also, create an ombre effect by using the makeup sponge. The shade should go lighter towards the center of the face.
- Take another cream eyeshadow in light green and apply it right below the sections you have painted with blue. Blend it in as you go towards the center of your face.
- It is time to highlight your ‘scales.’ So, lightly tap a silver-colored cream eyeshadow onto the tip of your index finger on the top of the highest points of your face.
- Remove the fishnet mask, and your ‘mermaid scales’ are ready!
Create ‘Mermaid Eyes’
- Take some sea-blue cream eye shadow on a brush and apply it all over your eyelids. Blend it nicely to create a smooth, even effect.
- Extend the shape of your eyes at the external corners for a more dramatic look. Do not forget to blend the shadow out the top edges of your eyes. Take the help of a scotch tape to ensure a neat, clean, and perfect application.
- Find an excellent metallic eyeliner in teal or aqua blue shade and line your bottom lash lines with it. While drawing the lines, elongate them carefully past the outer corners of your eyes.
- Add another eyeliner pencil in a different shade, such as turquoise or mint green, to your waterlines. These lines should be drawn past the outer corners of the eyes right below the teal / blue lines.
- Once the eyeliners become completely dry, give your eyes a shimmery effect. Dip the tip of your index finger in a glitter adhesive and a pot of deep blue glitter flecks, respectively, and press onto the eyelids.
- Add a touch of sparkling silver to your eyes by applying a silver-colored glitter eyeliner along your upper lash lines.
- Curl up your eyelashes or apply a pair of beautiful falsies. Adding some feather accents to the external edges of the eyes will also do.
- Add thick coats of volumizing mascara to your upper and lower lashes to pump them up.
- To finish off, apply a glitter primer to your eyebrow hairs and sprinkle some loose silver-colored glitter over them.

- Now, take the mint-green eyeliner pencil and fill the space you left blank at the center of your lips.
- With the help of the silver-colored glitter eyeliner, highlight your cupid’s bow carefully.
- Finally, add a touch of sparkle to your lips by pressing some silver glitter dots to the center of the lower lips, and voila!
