All kinds of trends, dances, humor, tutorials and of course make-up, that dictate to us the fashion beauty products, the looks that we can use at parties, festivals and with our outfits.
This year we have seen some very popular trends on TikTok such as the Euphoria looks, the “Clean girl makeup”, the filters that guide you in applying makeup and much more. The new trend that has gone viral and that we can find many videos and tutorials for is siren eyes. And what is this trend about? It started as a comparison between another viral makeup technique “do eyes” Where the eyes look round and with an innocent look in the lookOn the contrary, mermaid eyes achieve an attractive, seductive and slightly dark look thanks to makeup.
Mermaid eyes evoke sensuality, and a dark side that could captivate, just like the mermaids did with the sailors, in ancient myths. And how is this accomplished with makeup? The key to achieving this viral eye look on TikTok is to lengthen the look, with black eyeliner or a cropped crease, which creates a ripped and attractive effect on the eyes.
Start by prepping your lids with concealer or eyeshadow primer., so that the make-up lasts much longer. Apply a brown eyeshadow in the eye socket and blend it towards the temple, prolonging the look as long as possible. This step is a foundation for the black that will follow. Highlight black eyeliner both above and below the eye, including the waterline. Then use a brush to fade the eyeliner to the temple, you can apply a little tape as a guideline so that the eyeliner is more torn.
The attractive touch of this makeup look, it is to make another contour in the upper part of the basin, a carved fold effect that will give depth to the look. To add a little shine to mermaid eye makeup, which is quite highlighted and black, you can apply a shimmer or iridescent eyeshadow in the center of the eye.
The final details of this viral makeup are: outline the tear duct in a torn manner, as if your eyeliner was extended and your eye was longer. And of course, don’t forget the lashes, focus on the outer lashes and apply mascara by swiping out to lift. You can also use false eyelashes, just in the center of the eye, and you will have a more captivating look.
