Is there anyone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup in the water? I'm a big fan of natural looks, and mermaids wouldn't really have access to makeup anyway ... :/

I just wear waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Also brow liner. Otherwise I have no eyebrows
Feel free to friend me on Facebook
I usually just wear some shiny green/gold eyeshadow (just a little if I'm swimming, but more if it's a dry public gig), a little brow pencil that I always wear, and my usual lipstain...basically I like the natural look enhanced just a smidge b/c I think mermaids would have a little bit more of a sheen or glow to them naturally. I usually don't wear eyeshadow, so the shiny green/gold is to me part of getting into my mer-self like putting on my tail
I bet a lot of mers use little to no makeup, especially in the water, but I guess it depends on what they are doing as far as performing or taking photos vs a casual swim in public.

I usually only use waterproof mascara, but lately not even that. I love lip colors but haven't worn them lately. So lately zero makeup here.
Hi all!
When I do wear makeup, and that's really seldom now (I have severe dry eye, which my Ophthalmologist told me was from swimming in chlorinated pools most of my life...). Because I don't want makeup to flake into my eyes, I do use waterproof eye colors and liners... Problem is, I ran out of my special makeup remover, and went back to buy more and its no longer made. Using it so seldom, I maybe bought it every few years. This stuff was awesome, because if you did get it in your eyes it didn't burn.
What is available now for removing waterproof eye makeup?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Makeup is really just there for enhancing features people are confident about, or instilling a sense of that confidence. It's not a big deal if you wear any or not, and if you do - the more natural you keep it (in my opinion), the more realistic it is that a mermaid looks like that naturally (since you're probably right that real mermaids would not have access to makeup).
I wear no make up because as you said a real mermaid don't have any mascara, gloss, eyeliner etc.... (i'm not saying that who wears make up is a bad mermaid!) moreover I'm more interested in what children think about mermaid and what I can do to make this mith stay alive in their mind. I totally agree with what you said Spindrift!

I don't mer yet but I have a weird thing about makeup for myself. I don't mind it on others but as a child I always found the idea of altering your appearance to be really weird...like, really weird, lol! I found facepaint scary and makeup just strange. I don't mind it as much but I'm very happy with my appearance. I love how Raina & Naida & Ama do their makeup for gigs but I don't think it'd personally be for me.
I don't mer yet either, and I don't think I could ever do it professionally. But if I did, I'm not sure which way I would go. I have one of those plain, average faces that people forget the moment they walk away. But maybe that's good for mermaiding. It's about the concept, not the individual right?
When I go face-painting, I only wear eyeliner and mascara, when I'm swimming of just being a mermaid I usually do some more make-up.
I've never really bothered with makeup in the water. I rarely wear makeup normally, so I've never seen much point in spending mucho moneies for waterproof versions of things I don't wear anyway.

I don't tend to wear any make-up in the water. I have worn stage make up for dance performances and I know there are waterproof varieties, but I just never really had the desire to wear it. I may for the 13th though since it will be more like a real photo shoot.

It better not to wear makeup (personally). It just gets everywhere.

This thread is for me!
I've never worn make-up. Not even when performing professionally.
Now, for photos or camera shoots, some tiny bit of mascara and eyeshadow probably doesn't hurt,
but I wouldn't wear that when swimming, water + make-up doesn't go well together
(Yea I know synchro swimmers wear heavy stuff, but they are a long distance from the judges and audience.
As a performing mermaid, you'd look a bit silly wearing so much paste and colour imo)
I wear waterproof makeup, but a lot of times if I do spontaneous swims on vacation etc I've got nothing on
