DIY Mermaid

I decided to do something "pretty" haha. What do you think? please help support my art by subscribing to my youtube! youtube.com/msmaomaoz

First step was the fins on my face! First off I made them with model magic because it's a very light clay, then I took acrylic paint to paint them and while the paint was wet i did sprinkle glitter on top. Next I took some black body paint from Mehron and covered my ears, then i grabbed spirit gum and put that in front of my ears then tapped it tell it was tacky and placed my fins on top.

to make sure the fins stayed I placed some liquid latex down and put a cotton ball on top then put more liquid latex on top.

So I used the purple Elmers glue stick to cover up my eyebrows I do this often, then I took some concealer from NYX and put that on the brows, over the latex, under my eyes, and on any blemishes on my face.

Taking my normal foundation I put that all over my face, then used a translucent powder to set all of that makeup.

I used a teal face paint from Mehron to start the contour leading from that fin and I kept the line sharp, Then i took a dark blue eyeshadow from Urban decays electric pallet and a teal shadow from NYX to deepen up the contour. I also drug that dark blue under the chin.

Taking that same teal color body paint I put that on my brows and down the sides of my nose. I then took the same shadows to deepen it up.

I made scales with that same model magic and also painted them with acrylic paint. Then i put some liquid latex and put it on the back on each scale and pressed it on the skin. I put 4 on each eyebrow then I placed more of the bigger ones by the fins and down that contour line.

Taking a dark blue body paint from Mehron I outlined each scale to act as a shadow and help separate each scale.

On my lid I took orange body paint from Mehron and I just patted it up to the teal.

Taking yellow body paint from Mehron I dotted between the orange and teal, then I added a yellow triangle to the inner corner of my eyes.

I took some yellow shadow from NYX and added that to the outer corner of my eyes and drug it up to my forehead, then I put some yellow shadow on top of the cheek contour and on top of my nose.

I took some yellow body paint from Mehron and randomly placed dots all over the face.

For the lips I took some orange lipsick from NYX and put it all over my lips. You may also use body paint.

Using NYX liquid eyeliner in while, you can also use white body paint, I placed dots everywhere and also outlined the yellow triangle on my inner corner.

I took that yellow body paint and added dots all around the lips, then I put a little on the center of my lips and patted it out.

I made gils on my neck using cotton balls and latex. I made two on both sides of my neck.

I used the same teal and blue shadows to start the contour, and i added sharp line of teal body paint.

I took an orange color body paint from Mehron and painted the gills, then I added a line of yellow to the top.

I added yellow and white dots all over the body.

Last I put on mascara!
