[Lotus the Mermaid]

This is a thread to show off photos of your mermaid makeup! Feel free to add what inspired your unique look!

You can also post makeup tutorials and/or inspiring makeup pics that you find particularly helpful for the indecisive mers out there!

Here's mine! The inspiration is pretty obvious - my favorite flower and mermaid namesake, the lotus! <3


EDIT: I forgot to mention what I used to get this look!

Liquid foundation, some light pink going into redder blush, just one or two coats of black mascara, red lipstick, a few rhinestones, pink glitter, and a pink lotus on either side, outlined in white and blended in the middle using Kryolan Aquacolor.

You're so talented at makeup Lotus! No matter how much I practice I just cat get eyeliner down . You have really fair skin like I do, how do you find the right shade of foundation? Most of the lightest shades in drugstore makeup are still a shade or two too dark for my skin tone.

I'm actually really proud of my most recent look. I did this for Halloween.



As much as I love the wild eyeshadow colours I see other Mermaids use, I have come to the conclusion that simple eyes and bright lips is the best look for me.

KellyMermaid: Thank you, sweetness!! I actually went through way too many foundations to count before finding one light enough for my skin tone!!! It's more expensive ($25 at Sephora), but one tube of Clinique's Even Better foundation Alabaster #01 will last you at LEAST a month, if not up to 2 or 3. I always use liquid, but they offer powder as well if you prefer that! I have combination skin. Obviously, I'll need to get a sealer or another waterproof foundation later but it did the trick for a dry pic! XD I hope that helps!!!

Princess Pearl: You should be proud!! It's a gorgeous look! I looove pearls on mermaids. ^-^

Here's a mermaid-y look that I did quickly one afternoon when I was bored. Most of it is eyeshadow, with black liquid eyeliner. I threw on a silver wig and a pearl necklace as a crown to complete the look.
I used the fishnet trick to get a scale-like pattern on my cheeks and forehead. The lipstick is by Kat Von D.
If I was to do this look again, I would go slower so that the eyebrows and eyes had cleaner lines, and maybe add liner underneath the eyes too. I would also stick on a bunch of irridescent sequins to look like scales.

This is going to be one of my favorite threads, I can tell.

[Lotus the Mermaid]

KayNS: I LOVE it! I really like darker makeup on mers! It's very unique! <3

Elodea: Omg, you look stunning! I love all the sparkles! ^-^

[Merman Delphis]

Lotus,I'm pretty sure you saw this at the last meet-up I was at, but I'll post it again.

Scaley Nudibranch....kinda. Just had fun with this one.

[PetLoverSpy]

I am going to LOVE this thread

I went to a sea-themed fundraiser last night and, of course, wore a mermaidy look to it. Still with a big cateye because I can't do without, lol. People have actually started remembering me as the 'resident mermaid' even without my tail on, so I think I'll start wearing mermaid makeup to all those events, sea theme or no. Gotta mark my territory, y'know?

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Love the hair!

[Lotus the Mermaid]

I love all the blues!!! Gorgeous! ^-^

[PetLoverSpy]

Thanks guys! I'd love to wear that hair underwater, but that might get a TAD bit tricky xP

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I made the simple ones with the shells and lilies. The beautiful green and pearl circlet was made for me by friend mermaid Rennara! She's on the network and she takes commissions.
