I know what you're thinking, it's Mermaid week and I didn't use pearls!? Believe you me I was tempted, but I decided that actually I might prove that I'm not a one trick pony - plus gems are just as fun! On a plus, the stenciling worked out nice, unlike last time! Which I am pleased about. The whole look is still a bit messy, but I'm quite happy with the outcome. Doesn't help that I basically poured a lot of white liquid eyeliner into my eye whilst trying to apply is as mascara, the boyfriend was all "wash it all" and I was all "no way am I putting water on my nearly finished face" so I just sort of, cried it out. When I was researching inspiration for this look I realised I didn't want to go too generic and do a pastel mermaid or use that fishnet effect that is everywhere and occasionally looks like scales. Those two looks do look nice but I wasn't up for copying either of them. I sort of wanted to do a slightly creepy mermaid, hence the white eyelashes and eyeliner. If it isn't evident the shape on my forehead is inspired by a whale's tail and was sort of the boyfriend's idea, so kudos to him. Go here to see the rest of the Mermaid looks done for the tag. They both look awesome. Next look, in two weeks' time involves choosing our favourite spring/summer collection and doing a look inspired by it. Exciting!
