Mermaid eyes trend: Unleash your inner sea siren
One of the captivating trends to surface online in recent times is the "mermaid eyes" trend. Drawing inspiration from the enchanting and mystical world of mermaids, this makeup trend allows individuals to explore their creativity by incorporating vibrant, aquatic colors and shimmering effects into their eye makeup. The goal is to mimic the scales on a mermaid's tail and an ethereal, multi-dimensional shimmer.
How it appears
The essence of mermaid eyes lies in the use of vibrant and aquatic colors, such as shades of turquoise, teal, deep blues, and emerald greens. Iridescent or holographic shimmer plays a crucial role in this trend. It adds a touch of ethereal beauty to the eyes. Combining matte and shimmery eyeshadows or pigments creates depth and dimension, enhancing the overall mermaid eyes effect.
Why is it a success
Social media's effect on young beauty enthusiasts can be credited for the rise of the mermaid-core cosmetic trend. Mermaids have always piqued our curiosity, and people around the world have taken delight in the dream of an ethereal realm filled with unfathomable, shimmering beauty as a result of this fascination. Additionally, a new market has emerged for shimmers and sparkles in the beauty world.
Prepping the eyes
To achieve a dewy look, start by cleansing and moisturizing the skin. Then apply a creamy primer to the entire face, including the eyelids. The creamy primer provides a shiny surface as well as a base for the shimmer to adhere to eyelids. To make your eyelids appear lighter, dab a little concealer on them.
How to try the trend
Apply a base color now using the ethereal eyeshadow palette you have. A paler hue such as white or silver is ideal for this makeup look. Alternativily muted, shimmering colors also work. The eyes should stand out in shimmery tones, therefore add some color with glitter or shimmer. Line your eyes with waterproof eyeliner and finish the look with a coat of mascara.
