I am obsessed with this stunning mermaid makeup look and the DIY gold crown I made for Halloween. If you are looking to create an under the sea Halloween costume this mermaid Halloween costume is for you. The DIY mermaid crown is so easy to make using items from the dollar store and you can get all the beautiful purple and teal makeup on a budget from Ulta. I love the way this stunning mermaid Halloween makeup look came together. Let's dive into the mermaid tutorial!
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.
