Summer’s not over, so why not ride the mermaid wave a little longer? Mermaidcore took over the fashion scene, and now the beauty realm is following suit. Enter the captivating “Mermaid Skin” effect, which has been making waves on TikTok. Evolving from last year’s “shower makeup” sensation, this trend builds upon the coveted glazed donut effect by infusing it with iridescence, resulting in an ethereal and otherworldly glow. The best part? You can achieve this mesmerizing look right from the comfort of your own home. So, get ready to unleash your inner sea siren and dive into the secrets of achieving the enchanting Mermaid Skin trend with ease.
To get started, imagine Ariel as she emerges from beneath the sea’s surface. Prep and prime your skin with radiant-inducing serums and primers to achieve that glossy, wet texture. After applying your face makeup, it’s time to inject some color. To nail the mermaid skin trend, you want to imagine certain parts of your face are “fish scales” that cast a cool-toned shimmer when the light hits just right. Danessa Myricks has a Colorfix Pigment in the shade “mermaid” to achieve that siren-like radiance. Dab a bit of this on the highest point of your cheekbones or wherever else you want to add a pop of color.
From there, it’s all about having fun with eyeshadows. We suggest sticking to shades, such as aquamarine and purple, for the ultimate mermaid aesthetic. You can even accent your eye makeup with a glitter-based formula to bring out the eyes. Once complete, it’s time to set with everything yet another sparkle-filled product. This dewy setting spray will round out your mermaid-inspired look.
Since the look focuses on appearing wet rather than opting for matte finishes grab TOM FORD Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil which will surely add a more dazzling effect.
To finish off the look add Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil – Fenty Beauty by Rihanna onto your neck that will deliver the illusion of emerging from crystalline waters. Which can be applied with your fingers or a brush or mixed into moisturizer depending on how much shimmer you’re looking for. Then swim away, you beautiful sea creature.
Remember…too much glitter doesn’t exist.
