Mermaid Makeup!

So, on the dreary Sunday that the midwest had yesterday, I found myself itching to do something crazy with all of the colors I had laying around. As you may know, I'm OBSESSED with mermaids, so I tried my best to create a mermaid look. This is the result:

First, I used my normal foundation (Revlon Photoready) and applied generously. Then I powdered using CoverGirl Clean Powder in Buff Beige. I applied a gold shadow on the inner corners of my eyes and my browbone, and then blended out a turquoise shadow into the crease and outer corner, as well as  connecting the eyebrow to the bridge of the nose. I liked the entire eye in Maybelline Liquid liner, and extended the lower line toward the bridge of my nose. I applied glitter lashes (leftover from Halloween) and began more shading. I blended a dark turquoise in underneath my eyes, and applied a softer baby blue into the bottom, extending down toward the cheekbone. The nose was shaded on either side of the bridge with turquoise, the nostrils were shaded in a half-moon shape in deep purple, and white was used to highlight the length of the nose. Purple scale-like shapes were drawn above the eyes and onto the temples, though those could've been much neater. The lips were done by applying NARS lipstick in Madere, a very matte nude color. Then the turquoise was again blended into the center of the lips, creating a doll-like effect. The gold shadow was blended into the corners of the mouth and met the turquoise in the middle. A highlight was pressed into the cupid's bow. The cheeks were contoured using a deep grey-black, I originally used a purple but it needed to be deeper in pigment in order to show up in the photograph. Finally, I applied jewels in random patterns in order to create a more interesting look. Let me know what you think!
