Halloween Makeup Idea: Mermaid Makeup

Bettelli came up with this genius trick to create fishlike scales on my temples, the tip of my chin, and hollows of my cheeks. She bought a bag of potatoes in plastic netting, enlarged the hole at the top, and slipped it over my head. Then with a fluffy brush, she tapped a layer of M.A.C. Paint Stick in Marine Ultra through the net and topped that with a mix of M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Marine and . "You always want a cream first so the shimmery powders have something to stick to," Bettelli said. For the ultimate scaly touch, she added a wash of M.A.C. Glitter in Reflects Turquatic and Pigment in Teal all along the sides of the face.
