Dramatic Makeup: Mermaid Inspired

29th March 2015
 

Every once in a while, it’s fun to play dress up. Or at least the grown up version of it; if I can’t be head to toe dressed as a fairy, complete with light up wings… I’ll go a little wild with my makeup at least.

Inspired by Holly’s recent makeup post, which was strikingly beautiful; I decided I wanted to get a little more creative with my own face. True, I can’t exactly go to the office like this without turning some heads, but this is what the weekends are for. Painting your face a spectacular combination of colours, letting your hair go a little bigger, a little wilder, and truly taking on a new persona for the day.

I really had fun creating this look, and would love to take it further one day. A full mermaid outfit, and even more dramatic eyes could make for a good Halloween costume this year.

What do you guys think?

    Oh this looks gorgeous on you! I feel like this could go two different ways, either a mermaid look or more of an Ursula one ♥

    This looks so gorgeous, I love the colours! I miss being able to do things like this at uni so I think I should dig out my crazier colours and dress up a bit more at the weekend – you've inspired me! – Tasha
