7 Mermaid Makeup Ideas With Colored Contacts

Explore 7 mermaid makeup ideas with our amazing Coloured Contacts affiliates. These cool underwater SFX makeup ideas range from classic mermaids to dark underwater sirens. Get inspiration for your mermaid makeup with these incredible designs. 

We collaborated with the super talented Carrie Esser a.k.a. @makeupmadhouse to create a new cosplay character. Carrie originated this amazing Aquatic Warrior Queen character featuring our Blue Blizzard Colored Contact Lenses and White Blind Colored Contacts. This powerful Goddess definitely deserves her own comic book series. The White Blind Lenses are perfect for creating a scarred eye illusion, just like Carrie’s design and the royal blue tones are absolutely gorgeous for this mermaid eye makeup. Carrie has hand-painted a full body paint of a scaly costume with gold detailing. This mermaid makeup without fishnet shows you how you can hand-paint scales.

@courtneyleighhollins has also chosen a blue theme for her creature from the deep makeup. This mermaid makeup look features an unusual skull design paired with a seashell crown and earrings. It looks like this spooky siren has definitely lured in a few creatures with those piercing blue eyes, courtesy of our Blue Elf Colored Contact Lenses.

We are blown away by @fx_freak’s take on a Siren look. This dark mermaid makeup features a highlighted collar bone and dramatic eye makeup with cool prosthetic ears and teeth to give this underwater creature an other-world aura. @fx_freak has completed her makeup with our Blue Ice Walker Colored Contact Lenses. 

Blue Colored Contact Lenses are a popular choice for these mermaid Halloween makeup ideas. View the full collection of Blue Lenses to complete your own mermaid makeup looks.

In this experimental look by @makeupmadhouse, she is wearing Blue Crystal Colored Contact Lenses. We definitely think that headpiece is giving off serious seaweed vibes which is perfect for the blend of beautiful green tones.

In contrast, @sfx_by_bry has given a super spooky edge to her Siren makeup with the White Mesh Colored Contact Lenses. This scary mermaid makeup would be perfect for Halloween but make sure to choose the right lenses for your event:

• White Mesh Colored Contact Lenses: Partially obscures vision so is best for use at photoshoots.
• White Halloween Colored Contact Lenses: Leaves you with full vision so you can enjoy partying the night away.
• White Blind Colored Contact Lenses: Fully obscures vision so wear your pair for a photoshoot or wear a single blind effect lens to leave full visibility in one eye.

Mermaid Halloween Makeup Ideas

Under the sea themed makeup ideas are a perfect alternative to classic mermaid Halloween makeup. Check out these incredible octopus makeup designs by @rupsashan and @nikki.paint.

Nikki has created pink mermaid makeup with this eerie octopus tentacle design completed with Blue Ice Walker Colored Contact Lenses.

In contrast, Rups has opted for purple mermaid makeup with this beautifully blended octopus design. This creepy underwater makeup is completed using our White Manson Colored Contact Lenses.

If you are looking to create easy mermaid makeup then gather some sea and shell themed accessories and an old pair of fishnet tights. Apply your mermaid makeup with fishnets over your skin to create a scale effect when you gently brush on your makeup. This is an effective way to create a quick and easy mermaid look and can be paired with Colored Contacts to take it to the next level, especially if you want to give your pretty mermaid makeup an SFX twist.

Giving your siren makeup a dark twist is a great choice for a Halloween costume or fancy dress party. For other kinds of parties or events, add some sparkle to your look with some super cute mermaid scales. There are also plenty of options for cosplay when it comes to underwater themes and sirens.
