Mermaid Eyes?! 6 Step Makeup Tutorial!

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

I decided to dig into my makeup tutorial vaults again and share with you this incredibly easy way to get one of my top five favourite looks!  I named this look "Mermaid Eyes" because the colours and vibrancy just remind me of the ocean in the summertime!  Who wouldn't want to feel like a mermaid?!


This is a super quick photo instructional. It's even quicker than my last 8 step makeup tutorial!  You can use similar colours to achieve the same look :)  In my example, I started out with an orange shade, but went over it with pink. This is because I wanted more of a coral tone instead of straight up orange!  Here we go...


Wasn't that simple?  Now go try it!

Products used:
  • Rock & Republic eyeshadow in Love Rocks (a dark pink)
  • Rock & Republic eyeshadow in Veil (ivory)
  • MAC eyeshadow in Waternymph (Turquoise - it’s super vibrant and limited edition, but you should be able to find something similar)
  • Faces Cosmetics eyeshadow # 196 (a shimmery vibrant orange)

      that would depend on which type of liner you are attempting to put on :)
      i normally use a kohl pencil liner. make sure it's sharp if you want a precise line. i usually close my eyelid and stretch it out from the corner a bit. then just draw above the lashline as close as you can to the lashes. I kinda of go back and forth evening it out... if that makes sense? it would help if i did these things in video form haha.
