How to Get Started
My first step in preparing for this stunning mermaid makeup and crown look was to search for inspiration on Pinterest. You can check out all the images I saved here to inspire my look.
Then determined the supplies I needed for the DIY mermaid crown because I knew I wanted the crown and the mermaid makeup to be complementary.
I picked purple, gold and teal as my colors and planned to incorporate lots of glitter and pearls into the mermaid makeup look and the DIY mermaid crown.
Once I had all the material, I got to work on creating the crown.

Mermaid Halloween Makeup Tutorial
Halloween makeup looks are my absolute favorite thing to create. I love makeup daily, but there is so much more art and creativity involved in Halloween costumes.
This costume allowed me to try colors I would never normally wear since it requires a hefty dose of fantasy to look like the Little Mermaid!
For this particular mermaid makeup look, I was inspired by this YouTube video and went looking for similar purples, shimmers, and teals.
All color names and products are linked below, along with a complete step-by-step video of how I applied the makeup, created the mermaid scales with fishnet stockings, and got the glitter to stay in place.
I hope you enjoy this stunning mermaid makeup tutorial. It was so fun to create.
