Ready to channel your inner siren of the sea? 🧜♀️ Whether you’re prepping for a festival, a cosplay event, or just want to add a splash of magic to your look, this Mermaid Scales Makeup Tutorial has you covered! Here's a simple, beginner-friendly guide based on our fan-favorite method.
What You’ll Need:
-
Foundation or BB Cream (your base)
-
Colorful Eyeshadows (think teals, purples, pinks, and blues)
-
Highlighter (the more sparkle, the better!)
-
Fishnet Stockings (yes, seriously)
-
Setting Spray
-
Makeup Brushes and Blending Sponge
Step 1: Prep Your Canvas
Apply your foundation or BB cream as usual to create a smooth, even base. Lightly dust some setting powder to keep everything locked in.
Step 2: The Secret Weapon: Fishnet Stockings
Pull a clean piece of fishnet material (or an old pair of stockings) over the area you want your mermaid scales—typically your cheeks, temples, and forehead. Hold it firmly but comfortably in place.
Step 3: Dive Into Color
Using a fluffy brush, begin patting bright, ocean-inspired eyeshadow colors over the fishnet. Layer shades for a gorgeous gradient effect—start with lighter shades near the center of your face and blend outward into deeper hues.
Tip: Dab, don't drag, the brush to get crisp scale shapes!
Step 4: Shine Bright Like a Mermaid
After you’ve built up the color, carefully remove the fishnet to reveal the scale pattern. Then go in with a highlighter over the scales and on your cheekbones, nose, and brow bone to really amplify that shimmery, underwater glow.
Step 5: Set and Slay
Lock your look in with a generous mist of setting spray so your mermaid magic stays flawless all day (or night).

-
Use metallic or iridescent shadows for an extra ethereal look.

Add stick-on pearls, rhinestones, or glitter for a bold finish.
