The latest take on mermaid beauty involved winged eyeliner that includes an intricately drawn mermaid tail. Often spotted in shades of turquoise and teal, the blue and green shades instantly bring undersea life to mind. Beauty gurus are then topping off the look with the finishing touch of intricately drawn scales, and perhaps some glitter for a finishing touch.

There’s no denying that the look of sparkle can help to perfectly accessorize your mermaid makeup. Meanwhile, swoops of violet eyeshadow, faux eyelashes and stick-on rhinestones can help to complete the statement. Whether you’re heading to a Christmas party, counting down to the New Year or simply celebrating the everyday, try rocking mermaid inspired eyes right now.
