Mermaid face paint step by step how to face paint a mermaid

Mermaid Face Painting. I can’t deny it, I have a fascination with mermaids, when I was little I remember wanting to be a mermaid ‘when I grow up’. The fascination with mermaids for children of today still remains. Lets face it they are mystical, pretty and have cool pink, blue, green hair 🙂 In this face painting class, I will take you through face painting this mermaid which appears to be leaning against your eye brows and its fin is dangling down the side of your face. Its a personal favourite mermaid face painting design as it can be achieved very fast without outlining or you can make it elaborate by adding stars, curls and swirls and of course a mermaid design needs glitter! You can mix this up with any split cake colour combinations that you like. Let me know how you go in re-creating this. Happy Face Painting!
