How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then apply a medium-coverage foundation with a damp sponge for that skin-like finish.
I always contour the collarbones and shoulders lightly with a matte bronzer because the mermaid neckline draws the eye there.
And it photographs beautifully.
For the eyes, I’d do a soft smoky eye with a shimmering champagne lid, a defined lash line.
And wispy falsies nothing too heavy.
Finish with a long-wear setting spray.
But avoid spraying directly on the beaded bodice; I usually ask my client to lean forward so the mist hits the face only.
