Mermaid Makeup

Ready to become the gorgeous mermaid you are? Well since I was very little I was obsessed with mermaids. I would always read books and truly believed that when I turned thirteen I would become a mermaid. Growing up by the ocean I really felt that of all the Disney princesses I identified the most with Ariel. She loved to explore, she was bold, but kind and most of all she grew up in the ocean. Well I may not grow up under the sea, but this look will show you how to get those ocean blue eyes and sun-kissed glow, like you really did come from the sea.

Step 1: When applying makeup outside it is important you sanitize your hands in advance. This little octopus is from bath and body works and holds my favorite hand sanitizer. 

Cute story, the little octopus lights up and once in line for a ride at Animal Kingdom a little girl become very nervous to ride the somewhat scary Dinosaur ride. So to keep her calm she played with the light up octopus of mine for the duration of the line up and by the time we got on the ride she was calm and ready to see some dinosaurs. 

Step 2: Concealer and Powder, my favorites are Stila concealer and cover girl powder foundation. To keep that glowy mermaid look only powder your T-zone and wherever you applied concealer.

Step 3: Eyebrows and Lips, Benefit Gimme Brow wax pencil is my favorite, I've almost used it up in only two months, and Benefit lip gloss in "Poutrageous!" paired with Elizabeth Arden lip liner in "Sugared Kissed"

Step 4: Eye Shadow! This cream eye shadow by Benefit is called "Always a Bridesmaid" which was given to me by my dear sister <3. I applied it all over my lid into the crease and the powder eye shadow is by Kiko Milano, a European brand, which I only applied on my lid to let the purple peek out.

Step 5: Eyeliners :D The liquid liner is by Lush called "Calm", which I winged on my top lash line and the pencil liner is a by Elizabeth Arden called "Midnight", which I smudged on by bottom lash line.

Step 6: Mascara! If you want some truly long lashes try Smashbox`s Photo Op Eye Brightening 

Step 7: Contour and Blush, this limited edition compact by Benefit is called "Cheekathon" and includes Benefits top blushes and the all famous Hoola Bronzer in one product! The blush I used is Coralista( the best blush ever!)  

 Step 8: Highlighter, this "Champagne" eye shadow by cover girl is the perfect dupe for Stila "Kitten" eye shadow.
