Top 5 Mermaid Makeup Tutorials

PI - top 5 mermaid makeupThe mention of a Mermaid breeds thoughts of fantasy & dreams.  They are a legendary creature which appear in the folklore of many cultures.  Half-human, half-sea creature – Girls LOVE the allure of Mermaids. They long to don a tail and swim off into the unknown.   Because Mermaids are legendary – we get to interpret how they look.

Mermaids can be classy, glamorous, cute or even sultry. The look is entirely up to the mermaid!

These are the TOP 5 Mermaid Makeup Tutorials on YouTube.

  1.  Get gorgeously simple “mermaid” eyes with glitter.  If desiring to look classic & beautiful – THIS is a great tutorial to start with.  I LOVE this look – but I think I might add some opal gloss to the matte lipstick.

2.  This opalescent mermaid look uses a fishnet to bring about the perfect scales.  I especially love the white eyeliner and the white dots she adds above her eyebrow – soooo pretty.  I think I’d bring a little more purple (just a TIDGE) into the lipcolor, though.

3.  This mermaid also focuses on opalescence – but plays it off differently using purple as the base instead of turquoise.  I esp. love the monochromatic look she creates with opal on her lips and the dots all over her forehead.  These dots are mezmerizing to me.  The glossy/glitter look below her eyes makes it look like she just emerged from the sea  – it’s beautiful!!!  
4. Halloween Makeup Series.  I love the deepness created with this deep purple.  I think I’d soften the lipcolor a bit.  Perhaps add a layer of skyline first and then violet volt on the top.  I love the subtle scales around her face & contour.  The colors on her eyes are beautiful.   
5.  This turquoise based look lends a bit of an “ice queen” feel to it.  But it is truly stunning.  It all depends on the overall look of the mermaid.   I’d definitely soften the lips a little.  I esp. love the shading done around her eyes/neck and shoulders.   Definitely leans a little on the sultry side – but would be fun for a sorority party.   
So, get your Mermaid on . . .

The PERFECT Cosplay and Stage Makeup

Everyday SeneGence makeup is one thing – and if you’ve tried it – you KNOW how amazing it is – BUT did you know that SeneGence, International is a favorite among Cosplay & Broadway Makeup Artists?  Think Comicon . . . and makeup that lasts ALL day long – no matter HOW many pictures you take!!!!

Stage Makeup vs. SeneGence Makeup

Stage makeup is typically different than everyday makeup – it is thick & heavy in order to withstand the glare of the stage lights.  But of course, touch ups must happen often with stage makeup due to it’s thick viscosity – it often “runs” under the lights, causes excessive sweating due to its heavy nature and often gets rubbed off during costume changes. There are products that help it last longer including things like a setting spray – but these “extra steps” are often time consuming and don’t ensure that it won’t come off.  After all – intermission and bathroom breaks are great times to “touch up”.  But, what if you didn’t have to . . . and intermission could really just be for running to the bathroom and getting a drink.
SeneGence makeup is smudge-proof, budge-proof and waterproof – it makes for AMAZING cosplay and stage makeup.  Here are just a few of the perks :
  • Lightweight
  • Doesn’t move so costume changes are a breeze
  • Versatility – Because its all creme makeup – you can mix them together to make ANY color you can dream of!!
  • Lasts ALL day/night long – no touch ups needed.
  • If you sweat under the lights – it WON’T affect your makeup!
SeneGence is used by MANY Broadway Makeup Artists.  In fact, in 2017 SeneGence was offered a billboard in Times Square – which they still have and utilize.  Go here to read more about SeneGence in Times Square.
Watch this short video to see HOW on Alice In Wonderland’s Cheshire Cat it doesn’t smudge or budge – even when rubbed.
No matter what character you are transforming yourself or someone else into (Comicon, LARPing, Play, Stage or just for fun!) – THIS is the makeup for you!!!  It’ll blow your mind how well it stays.  Here are just a few examples of what you can do with it.  Really – the sky is the limit!!

These examples are from Lion King, Jr. and Alice In Wonderland, Jr.  Just two of the recent plays I’ve been able to help do the stage makeup for.  Those pictured used ALL SeneGence products.

Here I am with Comic Book Makeup for a ComiCon I was able to attend!!!

You can use the ShadowSense, LipSense, blush all over your face as needed.  You can mix the colors together to CREATE a color . . .

How to Remove LipSense

Knowing HOW to remove LipSense is almost as important as correct application.  There are different ways that will work – but using Oops is definitely the BEST way!  SeneGence’s Oops Remover breaks down the color technology that helps LipSense to bind to your lips AND it leaves your lips moisturized, supple and soft!!  ALL of the *alternate* ways to remove LipSense found on Pinterest or the World Wide Web – dry out your lips and thus, prolong your exfoliation period!  JUST — USE OOPS; it’s not expensive, one tube will last a long time and once you know how to use it the RIGHT way – you’ll love the results.    A new & better version of Oops was released in 2017 – so if it’s been a while since you tried it . . . it might be time.  Follow along and I’ll show you how to use it!

how to remove lipsense, how to take off lipsense with oops removerHow to Remove your LipSense

Grab a wet washclosh and rub it across your lips. This will remove any remaining gloss off your lips. Next step is to grab your Oops Remover and apply GENEROUSLY to your lips. At this point you may rub your lips together if you want – but it’s not necessary. Allow the Oops to remain on your lips for 20-30 seconds. (This is KEY! The Oops breaks down the color.) Often, I’ll wash my face while it sits on my lips – or change into my pajamas. Once it has sat for the full 20-30 seconds – wipe with the wet washcloth again.  Look at all the amazing THINGS that Oops Remover does for your lips!

REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION

Most often this will remove MOST of your LipColor – esp. if you’ve had the color on all day or if its a lighter color. However, it’s applied in layers and often you also must take it off in layers. So, if there are still remnants on your lips – REPEAT!!! When I wear beautiful, bold reds – I find I have to repeat 2-3 times to get it all off. Just make sure you are giving yourself the full 20-30 seconds each time to break down the color.

Once the color is fully removed, apply Moisturizing Lip Balm, Glossy Gloss or Lip Volumizer.

For all you visual learners (like me) – Here is a SUPER quick video I made so you can see How to Remove LipSense:

How to Apply LipSense

Let’s get started with some

LIPSENSE APPLICATION TIPS:

Are you wondering how to apply LipSense. It definitely is an art – and there is a bit of a learning curve – but if you practice a few times – it’ll soon be second nature.  (For reals, I can now do it in the car while I drive!)

#1  START WITH CLEAN AND DRY LIPS

#How to apply lipsense, lipsense application tips

Let’s get started!  How to apply LipSense: LipSense should always be applied to clean, dry lips. So wipe your lips with a wet washclosh and blot dry PRIOR to application so it bonds better to your lips – and LASTS longer!!

#2 SHAKE IT UP, BABY!

The next step is to shake your LipSense Tube. Shake, Shake Shake . . . Shake, Shake, Shake – shake your LipSense.  LipSense is a natural pigment suspended in SD40 alcohol (cosmetic grade) – so the shaking prior to use is ESSENTIAL!! The alcohol is the transferring agent and begins to evaporate as soon as it touches your lips. Thus, it is not drying – however, the first few times you use it – you may feel a tingle upon application. This is nothing to worry about!! When you remove the applicator – wipe it on the edge of the bottle so it has “just” the right amount of product on it.  (This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT LipSense Application Tips!)

 #3 HOW TO APPLY LIPSENSE

Apply in a thin, even coat – moving in one direction. ONE swipe – this is the hardest part as we are used to applying lipstick back and forth on our lips. RESIST THE URGE! Your LipSense will last longer if applied in one swipe.
1. So, press and glide along the bottom lip.
2. Then, start at cupid’s bow – and press and glide in one direction of your upper lip – then go back and press and glide towards the other side of your upper lip.
3. Next, wait 5-10 seconds – let it dry and avoid touching your lips together.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have 3 layers of color applied.

*If you make a mistake – miss a spot or “color” out of the lines – don’t despair!!! DO NOT go back and try to fix it right away – that drying time is really important. Let it dry and then go back in and “fix” whatever you need to. (Oops can help you remove any accidental coloring out of the lines.)

#4 GLOSS IT UP!!

how to apply lipsense, lipsense application tips

Once you are certain all 3 layers are dry – (usually only takes 5-10 seconds), apply gloss freely. You can use as little or as much as you want!! If the wand of your gloss changes from white to color – you KNOW your color wasn’t fully dry.

Make sure you re-apply gloss throughout the day as needed. The gloss seals in the color and keeps your lips moist. Our gloss is filled with shea butter and is very hydrating. I esp. like to gloss before AND after I eat – to keep my color looking GREAT!!  Now that you know the basics of how to apply LipSense – here is a super quick video you can watch – for those of you who are visual learners like me!!
