Vibrant Mermaid
This animated, multi-colored mermaid makeup is a perfect look for Halloween, especially if you love all things whimsical and ethereal. It uses a rainbow of colors and hues to create a remarkable scale effect. After applying primer, foundation, eyeshadow, and blush, cut a tube out of fishnet panty hose and place it over your head. Then layer pink, blue, purple, and green shades on the cheeks and forehead for a pretty two-tone effect. Look at this photo for reference.
