Summer Makeup Tutorial - Mermaid Makeup

In this summer makeup tutorial I'll show you how to achieve a mermaid inspired look. Ready? I had so much fun playing with bright blue colors and sharp black lines! First of all it's important to define your eyebrows. Especially with bold eye makeup, defined brows really make a difference to your overall look. Prime your eyelids to keep the eyeshadows in place. Now start drawing a line in the crease using a light grey color just to get you started. Quickly blend away with a small blending brush. Make it a bit sharper by adding some black eyeshadow with a flat brush, concentrating on the outer part of the line. When blending, focus on the upper edge of the shadow, you want the lower edge to be as sharp as possible. Now to the fun part -- I am taking a bright turquoise cream shadow and applying it on my lids, staying under the crease line. I am first using fingers to apply the color and then buff it in with a flat synthetic brush. Set the color with a bright aqua blue eyeshadow. Don't swipe the color back and forth, just gently pat it on with a flat synthetic brush for a higher pigmentation. To add more depth in the crease, I am blending some dark violet color above the crease line. Then just blend the upper edge with a clean blending brush. This will give you smokier and more romantic look. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes and then apply some blue eyeshadow on top. Now it's time for a winged black liner. I am using a gel one as it is the most pigmented and long-lasting. First make a very bold winged line. Apply a turquoise eyeliner on the waterline for a true turquoise overload. Here I am drawing a black line from my inner corners as close to the lower lashline as possible. This is where the look starts getting more creative and different. Draw a reversed winged line connecting to your lower lashline, and set it with some black shadow. Now draw another line, parallel with the upper winged liner. Make it a little bit longer. You will be getting a shape of a fish tale. The last line should be parallel with the bottom winged liner. Between the lines of the fish tale I am applying a bit of white and then some turquoise color on top. I really like this color for summer makeup looks. What is your favorite color for this time of the year? Just like the water drops sparkle in the sun, I am adding some glitter on the lids. Some mascara and false lashes if you want, and that's it for the eyes. I am keeping the rest of the face very neutral as the eyes are so bold. Just apply some soft peachy blush on the cheeks and a similar colored lipstick to complete this ocean inspired look. By the sea or not... I hope you're having an amazing summer. Thanks for watching!
