One of the most popular Halloween options is the image of the little mermaid. In order for the final result to be beyond praise, it is worth paying attention not only to the costume, but also to the hairstyle and, of course, makeup. How to do Halloween mermaid makeup at home - we will consider step-by-step instructions later in our article.

A step-by-step technique for creating a Halloween mermaid make-up

Little mermaid face

There are a lot of options to make a mermaid makeup yourself - you can either completely toned your face in blue-green tones, imitating the inhabitants of the deep sea, or focus on the bright details of the image - eyes, hairstyle, decorative appearance. The image of a mermaid for Halloween in our performance does not involve much adjustment of the basic skin tone, but only to give it gloss and mother-of-pearl radiance.

  1. Before proceeding to creativity, it is necessary to carefully align the complexion. Believe me, mother-of-pearl shine on the skin will only emphasize all your flaws, if any. Therefore, we apply a corrective foundation cream on the face that matches the color type of your skin in order to hide minor defects. If necessary, use a corrective or highlighter to mask dark circles under the eyes. The final step, which will help fix the makeup, will be a thin veil of loose powder.
  2. Now the mermaid makeup requires adding pearly accents to match the look with a marine theme. A convenient and effective way to apply scales on your cheekbones, temples or forehead (depending on your preferences) with your own hands is to use a mesh. Apply the mesh to the selected area, dip the brush into pearl blush, powder or shadow and touch the face. Try to choose a palette in cold, sea tones (in turquoise, blue, blue, green tones). Step by step work through all the skin areas selected for decoration.

Eyes in mermaid make-up

The image of the little mermaid for Halloween suggests that the main emphasis in makeup should be on the eyes. To do this, you need a palette of shadows in marine colors.

  1. To keep your eye makeup on your eyelids for as long as possible, cover the skin with a primer before applying the shadows. This technique will help keep your non-trivial make-up in its original form throughout the evening.
  2. So, now we apply the main shadows to the entire moving eyelid. Here you are free to choose - mother-of-pearl or powder structure, matte or glossy shadows. The main thing is to observe the color scheme in blue-green tones.
  3. Do not forget about the lower eyelid: eyeliner in bright colors (blue, turquoise) looks spectacular in combination with basic eye makeup. To open up your eyes, apply highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes.
  4. Line the upper eyelid along the lash line with a contrasting eyeliner. Mermaid makeup does not provide for any restrictions in the execution scheme. You can choose from a classic charcoal black eyeliner, as well as a blue, purple, green, turquoise liner. They look especially impressive in combination with duplicate arrows made of sequins or rhinestones. Do not be afraid to decorate your eyes with shiny elements: sequins, beads, pebbles. This will only add charm and authenticity to your mermaid makeup.
  5. The final touch will be mascara, which should be carefully painted over the eyelashes, giving them length and volume. It would not be superfluous to decorate them with rhinestones or colored villi, you can use false or extended eyelashes.

Lips in mermaid makeup

The image of a mermaid for Halloween suggests colorless lips, only slightly accentuated with glitter. To achieve the desired result, thoroughly powder your lips or cover with foundation. Apply glitter over a neutral tone - that's it, your image is ready!

  • Sometimes we have a desire to do mermaid makeup, but looking in the mirror, we understand that it didn’t work out very well. But what is the matter, and why it turned out badly, we can not always understand. So, top 5 common mistakes when creating a mermaid makeup and how can i fix them?

    1. Blue or blue lips. Very often, the little mermaids make lips of this color, not at all considering that this is a rather “capricious color”, and therefore the image begins to look faded and strange, sometimes even “painfully”. You can find blue-haired girls using blue on their lips, and it looks very disharmonious. In particular, this lip color does not suit swarthy girls.

    • Solution to the problem: if you really want to make blue lips, you need to take exactly the same color as the one already used in makeup. If the makeup is done in other colors, then do not use this color at all. But if you have colored strands, dyed hair, or at least ends, you can style your eyebrows and lips with a color that matches your hair. It is better to use a white tonalnik.

    2. Application of bright pigments on the cheekbones. Often mermaids sin by applying shiny or light pigments to the cheekbones or to the side of the face. This step accentuates light in unnecessary places, so visually the face may appear much wider than it really is.

    Solution to the problem: we emphasize the cheekbones or the side of the face with not too dark shadows, this will be an analogue of the usual contouring, but only in a marine style. Try not to bring the contrast out of its natural balance.

    3. Drawing scales by hand. As a rule, a girl indicates a clear contour, and often they cannot make perfect straight lines. The contour turns out to be dark, and the scale itself has incorrectly selected shadows or does not have them at all. Such scales are appropriate only in fantasy or beauty make-up, as, for example, with Isca.

    Solution: entrust the drawing of such scales to a professional makeup artist. Or draw at home on your own using stencils, such as mesh stockings. The stencil is fixed on the head, while a brush with selected shades of shadows is drawn over the desired area.

    4. The use of glitter and bold pigments on the face. Strong shine on the face is not only not very beautiful, but always looks terrible in photographs. It is necessary to avoid oily shine in any part of the face, except, perhaps, lips in a nude make-up (like mermaids from H2O after water - they also give the effect of wet hair).

  • Solution: rejection of liquid shadows, sparkles and glossy sequins as a decor, the choice is made in favor of pearlescent pigments and shadows. Try to choose matte or slightly shimmery shadows.

    5. Lightening circles under the eyes. In an attempt to paint over bags under the eyes or in an acute desire to be creative, girls make such a mistake. This technique immediately highlights problem areas and reduces the eyes, and also reduces the expressiveness of makeup and eyes.

    • Solution to the problem: the transition to another technique is to bring the lower eyelid, but not with a very thick line. If the makeup idea allows it, blend the borders of the summed area.

Use of pantyhose. That list can be supplemented thanks to fashion bloggers, who, in the wake of the fashion for the images of mermaids, figured out how to make fashionable Mermaid makeup using tights.

Making eye makeup “like Ariel’s” is no longer enough, because there is an opportunity to achieve much more realism! According to fashion video bloggers, fashionable Mermaid makeup is done very quickly and simply. In Western social networks, this new idea is presented as the most fashionable makeup for the upcoming Halloween. Those who like to experiment with their appearance and stay in their favorite image not only once a year have already managed to fill their pages on social networks with impressive realistic transformations.

Recall that recently a designer from Germany, Daniel Struzyna, created, and then for those who wish to reincarnate in the image of Triton.

Previously, girls without exception dreamed of princesses, and now - mermaids. The image of a mermaid does not differ radically from the image of a princess: makeup should be bright and shiny, and clothing and jewelry should have a marine theme. Those who want to achieve the most believable resemblance to real mermaids even dye their hair in unrealistic blue-green shades, or add a wig to their look.

The main element that helps to create a pattern of scales on the skin of the face are the notorious fishnet tights. By experimenting with the size of the cells, you can achieve different effects. By the way, in English fishnet tights are called "fishnet" - a fishing net.

With the help of fishnet tights, you can create the effect of scales not only on the face, but also, for example, on the arms and shoulders.

Photo selection: Mermaid makeup - fashionable makeup "Mermaid"

Take a look at our photo selection of mermaid looks! The make-up was created using fishnet tights. By the way, fishnet tights are a fashion accessory this year. Therefore, they can also be used in the image of a mermaid, or get designer ones.

This video demonstrates how to use a mesh to apply decorative cosmetics to your face in a way that simulates scales. Resourceful bloggers do not always put a stocking in a net or pantyhose over their heads for these purposes, some get by with a piece of knitted fabric that can be cut out of worn-out tights.

Despite the seeming simplicity of execution, it will be difficult to make a mermaid makeup so that it is not clumsy. The elastic mesh of the stockings can be shifted by turning the head or moving the hand. But with some practice, you'll be fine! And, of course, it is not necessary to wait for Halloween - such a make-up will be the most suitable for the Neptune holiday!

Relatively recently, in almost all domestic calendars, such a holiday as Halloween or All Saints' Night appeared. This holiday not only has a foreign name, but also an origin. On this holiday, they pay their respects to all wickedness and dark forces. In many countries of the world, this holiday has been celebrated for a long time and on a large scale, it has a certain theatricality, which is why when going to this holiday, you need to think through all the little things of your outfit and makeup.

In order not to stand out from the general mass of costumed evil spirits, it is necessary to choose the appropriate costume for yourself, but in order to fully bring your image to a complete look, you need to take care of the appropriate tone of the face and other little things. For such a holiday, the best option is not a ruddy tone of the face, but just the opposite, some kind of pale, dull, sad or scary. There are, of course, those cases when girls create a sexual image for themselves on Halloween, but still it is customary to have an afterlife. This requires a variety of cosmetics, mostly only light colors. The best option in this case would be theatrical makeup, which is used by professionals, but in the absence of such, you can use any means at hand, for example, talc or powder.

DIY Halloween Makeup

To prepare makeup for the holiday, there is no need for any products that are hard to find, all the products that will be used in the basic recipe are in any store or in your kitchen. To create the necessary makeup you will need:

  • 2 tsp cornstarch;
  • 1 tsp water;
  • 1 tsp cream (cold);
  • food colorings.

First you need to mix the cream together with the starch and carefully move them among themselves, while gradually adding water, not forgetting to mix very intensively. In the resulting mixture, you must add the necessary dye.

As for the application of this makeup itself, it must be done exclusively on a dry and clean face with a thin brush, and sometimes simply with the help of fingers. Such makeup is washed off quite simply with the help of ordinary running water and soap.

How to choose a color?

Initially, it is worth deciding on your image, and on the colors that will be necessary for it. If you have artistic talents, then this will be just the way.

White is essential for many images, half of which are quite popular, for example, images of zombies that have remained relevant for a long time, and zombies can be both male and female. The witch or vampire never goes out of fashion either. Evil clown or scary snowman. As fun images, white makeup will be relevant for the image of a Dalmatian.

With the help of green makeup, you can successfully complete funny images, for example: Shrek or an elf is suitable for men, and Fiona or a forest fairy will look good for women. It will be very important if a couple comes to the celebration.
Red color is used quite often and it will take a lot, so you need to stock up on make-up of this color, in sufficient quantities. It will be required to simulate blood smudges, not only on the face and body, but also for clothing. In addition, red makeup can help with the image of the devil or the devil.

How to create the right makeup?

First of all, you should think over your route and how you will get to the place of celebration. Needless to say, if you dress like a maniac and get to the place using public transport, then you may have some problems that can overshadow your holiday. Naturally, not all passengers of this transport will be able to feel the holiday atmosphere with you. There is even an option to spend the evening not at a holiday, but at the police station, in order to write an explanatory note on the topic of indecent behavior in a public place.

In the event that you do not want to do the makeup yourself, it is strongly recommended to use only high-quality cosmetics. This is also due to the fact that it will later need to be washed off after about 3-6 hours, and during this time, bad cosmetics can ruin the skin very much. Not to mention the fact that low-quality cosmetics can leak at the most unfortunate moment, at the peak of the celebration, because of which the whole image will be completely ruined.

The image of a witch

For the image of a witch, you need to stock up on a large amount of powder or white makeup. A prerequisite is a black pencil, which needs to focus on the eyes. Often, eye liner is done either completely or without painting over the corner, it all depends on the type of face and makeup that you prefer to wear in everyday life. It is worth remembering that a woman should look attractive regardless of her image. As for the lips, the best way to complete the look is to use black or bright red lipstick. Traditionally, hair and the entire outfit should be black tones. At the same time, the hair can be laid evenly and give it a certain look of neglect.

The image of a vampire

Vampires, one of the most popular images in modern evil spirits are vampires. This is due not only to the release of popular films about vampires, but also to some inexplicable magnetism. Moreover, this image will be equally relevant for both women and men. For this look, you will also need white makeup or talcum powder. Using lipstick or red make-up, you can bruise yourself in the corner of your mouth and on your chin, thereby simulating a recent dinner with fresh human blood. Often, the eyeliner around the eyes and on the eyebrows is applied quite abundantly, which should give the look a lot of confidence and horror. To help complete the image, artificial fangs, which can be purchased at a specialized store or souvenir shop, can. Do not forget about the cloak, thanks to which you can completely resemble the legendary Count Dracula.

Skeleton image

In order to create an image of a skeleton for yourself, you first need to very high-quality process with white or pale makeup those parts of the body that you are going to cover in the image of a skeleton. Then it is necessary to paint over the eyelids and eyes with black circles so that there are no gaps left. Next, the nostrils, the area under them and the nose are painted over, so that it seems that instead of a nose, you have an empty space. After that, you can confidently move on to drawing the teeth. From the corners of the lips, it is necessary to draw lines, as if the continuation of the lips, above and below, so that they are parallel, and then carefully draw the teeth and cheekbones with a thin brush.

Mermaid image

The image of a mermaid on a holiday should be filled with drama as much as possible. To do this, it is necessary to choose a makeup very thoroughly, so that all the work is not washed off and does not crumble. First you need to choose a good foundation for the skin, under your makeup. You will also need foundation and, most likely, powder, which will have a highlighter effect. Thus, you can easily achieve the effect of mother-of-pearl of the skin, which is just perfect for this look. Shadows are necessary blue or light blue with mother of pearl, which must be applied absolutely to the entire eye and eyelid. Make a contour using an ordinary black eyeliner. In this case, the style should be of the “cat's eye” type, and do not forget about the arrows. In order to make a characteristic scale, like a mermaid, you can take old or unnecessary tights in a large mesh. We apply tights to those places where it is supposed to make scales, after that we apply blue shadows over the tights with a sponge. Thanks to this, the scales will be very believable.

Cheerful image for Halloween

You should not think that on Halloween everyone takes only scary images, quite often women and men prefer to dress up in superhero costumes, or dress up in cartoon characters, most often Disney characters, and, of course, parents often prefer to dress their children in cute flowers, bees or bears. Often, various masks are used for such images, but in the case of applying makeup, here you can fully express yourself artistically.

Be that as it may, the most important condition for celebrating Halloween is a good mood, so after creating your image, you should not forget to take a good mood with you and go have fun.
