End of Summer Shimmery Mermaid Makeup Tutorial - Makeup and Beauty Blog

There is absolutely no freakin' mode that matte-heavy eyeshadow looks are even remotely adequate among members of the makeup-loving mermaid community, and I know this for a fact.

Actually, I don't really know that for a fact, since I oasis't kicked information technology with whatever of my mermaid friends lately, but if I had, they would DEFINITELY exist rollin' with shimmer.

And so…why am I talking about mermaids??

Fantabulous question.

Well, because information technology'due south late August, and even though I'thou excited about fall, I'm still sad to see summer go. *sad tabby face* 🙁

I was thinking nigh the embankment this morning (I oasis't been once this twelvemonth!), and that led me to retrieve most mermaids, and about mermaid h2o babies basking on the rocks with their shimmery tails swishing in the crystal articulate waters and their subtle blueish and dark-green middle makeup sparkling in the dominicus…

Then that'due south what I was going for here.

For the record, this look is also appropriate for landlubbers, so y'all don't demand to have a mermaid tail to clothing it, although that would exist pretty rad.

I recall this is a good look for late summertime parties and barbecues, or perhaps a dorsum-to-schoolhouse party where everyone gets kinda dressed upward. Or, if you're heading someplace fabulous that just so happens to have lively nightlife and be located nigh a warm body of water. Or, if you just want something shimmery to wear while you walk your cat effectually your neighborhood.

Information technology's a expert look for multiple occasions. 🙂

Now, honey, if yous just scrolled down, I know this look might seem impossible based on the number of steps, but you can do it! — even if you're a straight-upwards beginner.

If you've never attempted annihilation similar this before, though, cutting yourself some slack. Information technology's OK and perfectly normal if it looks similar shimmery poo the first few times, and it probably will, unless you're a makeup wunderkind. But then what? Rome wasn't built in a day.

OK, enough gabbing… Let's do this.

1. Employ foundation, concealer and pulverization

Get yo' base on that face, because we're not virtually to leave the house without a little something-something. For this shimmery mermaid wait, I like a total-coverage base because I think it balances out the bold eyes and false lashes.

Go with your fullest coverage foundation, concealer and pulverisation, if y'all need to. Doing a goofy face while you do this is completely optional simply highly encouraged. 🙂

2. Fill up in brows and prime lids

According to The Official Mermaid Makeup Manual, filling in your eyebrows is absolutely essential, and yous don't want to suspension any mermaid rules, practise yous? And then do it!

While you're at information technology, this is also a expert time to prime your lids, since we're going to be layering and blending quite a few eyeshadows.

three. Apply a matte brown eyeshadow onto the lid and into the pucker

Another twenty-four hours, another matte brown eyeshadow.

"Merely, Karen! Matte brown is soooo dull!"

Trust me, information technology's an essential stride on the path to Mermaidville, considering you'll demand aid transitioning from the colorful eyeshadows we'll exist using in a moment, and past "transitioning," I'm referring to making them expect less jarring as they fade upwards toward your brow bone, so grab a medium matte brown eyeshadow, and floof a little (pat and blend) onto your lids and into the crease with your favorite blending brush.

Don't worry if it doesn't look perfect here. The goal is just get it on there quickly. Then we can start the sparkly stuff.

4. Pat a shimmery bronze eyeshadow in the inner corner

Time to start ze shimmer!

Pat a shimmery bronze eyeshadow on the inner part of your lids with a flat eyeshadow brush.

5. Employ a shimmery olive light-green eyeshadow on the centre of the lid

Now for some shimmery green eyeshadow! Pat some in the center of your lid, then blend the edges into the statuary with a pencil brush, and you'll know you're doing it right if it looks absolutely jacked up…

No, seriously! This is i of those looks that looks terrible before it all comes together, so just hang in there.

six. Use a shimmery blue in the outer corner, and brand a fly shape

OK, it's fourth dimension to starting time building out the wing, so take a tissue or a paper towel, and line information technology up along the outer corner of your eye. Place it and so that it follows the upward bending of your lower lash line. Now dip a flat eyeshadow brush into a shimmery blue eyeshadow, and place that color into the outer corner.

When you remove the newspaper towel, you'll have a winged shape, hurray!

7. Apply a shimmery blackness into the outer corner

Pat a teeny, tiny bit of black eyeshadow into the outer corner of that wing. You only want the tiniest bit, also, because black tin can exist very hard to blend, so make your life easier past not using as well much. All you want to practise here is add enough to create some depth.

8. Line your upper lash line, and upper and lower water lines, with a blackness eyeliner

Now take your favorite black eyeliner ('cause every daughter has one!), and line your upper lash and water lines, and your lower h2o lines. Since nosotros're going to have a lot going on with all of the colors on the lids and the shimmer and the wing shape, go for a very thin line, because y'all want your fly, rather than the liner, to be the focal point.

ix. Line the lower half of the lash line with a blue eyeliner

Yay! Nosotros're coming to my favorite part!

OK, you lot know how we've got all that stuff happening on our lids? Well, if we don't likewise do something on the lower lash line, the expect could announced top heavy, and so we're going to create a shimmery blue lower lash line that transitions into a rose golden.

Get-go by lining the outer one-half of your lower lash line with blue liner, and so smudge it out with a pencil brush.

10. Blend a shimmery blue shadow on top of the blue eyeliner

Now top that blueish liner with a shimmery bluish eyeshadow…

11. Blend a shimmery rose gold into the inner one-half of the lower lash line and inner corners

Then, blend a shimmery rose gilt along the inner lash line, and accept information technology around the bronze nosotros used back in step four (SO LONG Ago!). Now connect it with the green in the center of the lid.

12. Use imitation lashes

Most at that place!

At present, you tin can't exist a mermaid without long, luscious lashes. (Information technology just wouldn't be correct.) Skilful thing this kind of assuming eyeshadow really suits fake lashes, especially ones with a winged shape that accept shorter lashes in the inner corner and longer lashes in the outer corner.

This is a good time to brand any necessary adjustments to your fly, also. If you demand to, ready the angle by drawing it out or up, and use your lashes as a guide.

xiii. Apply bronzer, blush and lipgloss

Let'south keep the focus on our eyes by going simple with bronzer, your favorite matte peachy pinkish blush (it'll contrast nicely with all the shimmer on our lids) and a glossy pink lip.

Approximate what…?

Nosotros're done! Hi, shimmery mermaid. 🙂
