LET'S GET CREEPY!
I am a Goth Mermaid. Devil May Cry is my jam... And I am 100% not ashamed of that! Hehehe!
I know there are more of you Devil-Fish out there, so here is a quick tutorial that will teach you how I do my makeup for Mermaid/Siren work... since I have people asking about my makeup all of the time! ♥ Please don't hesitate to share your favorite products, tips & tricks, Goth inspiration, videos, pics, ect. We creeps have got to stick together! ♥
PART 1: CREATING FLAWLESS SKIN

PART 2: BASIC EYE SHADOW, EYELINER AND LIPSTICK
TIPS AND THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1. Take care of your skin! (Use sunblock, moisturize as needed, use masks, eat healthy, ect. ect.)
2. Use a face primer... especially during events that will cause you to sweat!
3. Use eyelid primer before applying eye-shadow if you want it to stay put.
4. Avoid putting eye-makeup under your eyes if you have a saggy lower lid and are using this tutorial. It will smudge over time. (works fine for dry-land events with eyelid primer though!)
5. Set your lipstick with a setting powder (see end of video 2) and use metallic eye shadow for highlights... if you want. You can also add black eyeshadow over a lighter lipstick, once it is set, to give it a Gothic edge. (DO NOT LICK YOUR LIPS IF YOU PUT EYE SHADOW ON THEM!!!)
6. Do. Not. Touch. Your. FACE!!!!!
7. Experiment and have fun. I do this on a regular basis. Sometimes I look like a sultry siren...as shown in the video HERE. And sometimes I look like a shipwreck... which can be seen HERE. Have fun and laugh off the mistakes! ♥
Please post your tips, favorite products, pictures and video below so we Goth/Alternative Merms can help one another and inspire each other!
Stay spooky. ♥
