Do Mermaids Wear Makeup?

Probably not 🙂 but that is not going to stop us right? Let’s dive in.

Mermaid Eyeliner

Get some classic mermaid color eyeliner for a little “pop” around your eyes. This is a small tool that can help you achieve major impressions. Use a little to make people double take as you are going day to day, or make it really dramatic for a party or mermaid parade.

Could you draw a mermaid tail on your eyelid?

Mermaid eyeshadow

This can also pair with the mermaid eyeliner for a dramatic look, or you can wear solo. So many fun dramatic colors!

Mermaid eye shadow palets

Why choose just one color? Have a few to experiment with.

Mermaid Lipstick

There are some creative things you can do with lipstick now a days! From holographic colors to sequins and rhinestones. If you are doing any underwater performances, make sure to get water proof lipstick!

Mermaid Glitter

How could we live without glitter! Make sure to use Bio degradable to help our fish friends out and keep things eco friendly!
