Make Like a Mermaid with These Sea-sational Makeup Designs

Are you set for Halloween? Or are you still getting your window decorations together, painting your pumpkins or even, heaven forbid, casting about to find the perfect costume? If you have no clue what to go as this year, why not consider a mermaid? After all, whether you want to rock a glam look, or one creepy enough to give everyone at the party chills, a sea nymph would make a mer-nificant choice. Especially if you dive into a mermaid makeup tutorial, which will produce such spectacular results you won't even need to worry about the rest of the outfit.

Take, for example, the YouTube videos below, which will help you create mermaid looks ranging from dark and dangerous to pretty-in-pink and glowing golden. Want to style yourself as sweet Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid? We've tracked down a simple step-by-step makeup guide you'll love, though we confess we couldn't find anything for Daryl Hannah's fish-out-of-water character in Splash. But these videos all contain plenty of helpful hints, like how to make gills and scales (hint: you're going to want a pair of fishnet gloves or stockings). In fact, they're so much fun you'll be happy as a clam watching them!
