1. Why I Love Under The Sea Themed Awards Dinner in My Beauty & Style Studio

Last prom season, a client walked in wearing a deep teal gown with tiny shell details.

And I immediately thought of this Under The Sea theme.

We went with a soft, mermaid-inspired eye using iridescent blues and a pearlized highlight.

She looked like she’d just stepped out of a tide pool.

What makes this look work is balance: the shimmer stays on the eyes and cheekbones, while the lips stay muted and glossy.

It’s glamorous without feeling costumey, which is exactly what you want for an awards dinner.

✦ Nadia’s Backstage Notes (Part 1 of 4)

  • Real-Life Wearability: Tested to look just as flattering in natural daylight as it does under camera flash.
  • Undertone Harmony: Always match the intensity of the finish to your natural skin and hair contrast.
  • Pinterest Reference: Tap Pin Look to save this reference directly to your moodboard.
