Best Use of Color Makeup Tutorial: MissCheivous

MissCheivous makeup tuto­r­ial shows us how to cre­ate a mer­maid makeup look for Halloween. Her use of all the beau­ti­ful greens and blue shades with all the sequences and pretty lips won our admi­ra­tion.

This is MissCheivous Halloween Mermaid look.  It will be hard to get the sequences totally per­fect on your face.  She paired the sequence with a laven­der lip.  This is how you can be a mer­maid for Halloween.

  • She uses a white eye­shadow in the cen­ter of her lid all the way up to the eye­brow and she can cover her eyebrows
  • Use bright blue (cos­mic blue) on the inner cor­ner and take it up
  • This doesn’t have to be per­fect and try to make a shape going outwards
  • Grab blend­ing brush MAC 217 to blend white in the mid­dle with the inner blue
  • Take another brush and grab a Jade color eye­shadow into the crease to bring a bit of green into the eye­shadow mix
  • Take the eye­shadow brush to cover the fake brow with a lit­tle bit of blue eyeshadow
  • Take a smaller brush and blue flame MAC or any navy blue color and apply to the inner and outer corners
  • Blend this into the crease to give your­self a rounded eye shape
  • Apply the bright blue on the lower lashline
  • Grab more green to apply in the mid­dle of your lower eyes
  • Add more color for a multi dimen­sional eye and blend all the colors
  • Take sequences (green, blue and aqua).  She bought at a craft store
  • She has Ben9 glit­ter glue and don’t GET THIS CLOSE to your eyes or lower lids
  • Your eyes will be watering
  • She drew guide on either side of her eyes and grabbed glue and apply on her upper eye
  • Wait for glue to dry
  • Use tweez­ers to place sequences on top of glue
  • Work fast before glue dries and fill in the shape you drew sec­tion by section
  • Place sequences when sticky
  • Add more glue if it dries too quickly
  • Use next color to fill in gap of next level of color such as green to cre­ate a fish­like mer­maid look
  • She also applied the sequences on the side of her face
  • This takes a lot of time
  • Use MAC glit­ter trans­par­ent teal which has a reflec­tion, put over the white eye­shadow to give a reflec­tive touch
  • She is apply­ing dark blue into her waterline
  • You can apply false blue lashes but she just puts mascara
  • She applied MAC laven­der whip
  • Use MAC lip­gloss in fierce which is a pur­ple lipgloss
  • She is using trans­par­ent shim­mer in the center
  • She uses her hair to cover the edge of her face

The makeup mer­maid tuto­r­ial takes a long time and the sequences may fall off.  To remove, rub off sequences and they should remove it easily.
