Stunning Mermaid Makeup Tutorial & Crown for Halloween
My first step in preparing for this stunning mermaid makeup and crown look was to search for inspiration on Pinterest. You can check out all the images I saved here to inspire my look. I then determined the supplies I needed for the DIY mermaid crown because I knew I wanted the crown and the mermaid makeup to be complementary. I picked purple, gold and teal as my colors and planned to incorporate lots of glitter and pearls into the mermaid makeup look and the DIY mermaid crown. Once I had all the material, I got to work on creating the crown.
