Pink and lilac hues give skin an ethereal glow. Sweep this over cheekbones, brow bone and Cupid’s bow with a brush for shimmery effect, or use a damp brush or sponge to really amp up the glow.

You can’t really call yourself a mermaid without using a skincare product that uses ingredients harvested from the sea right? Like all Biotherm products, the Blue Therapy cream contains the proprietary thermal plankton, as well as a host of algae that firm and repair skin.

Ready to take this to the next level? Halloween may be over, but it doesn’t mean you can’t play dress up (mermaid-themed party, anyone?). This set consists of a pair of false eyelashes (seen on the lower lash line on the picture above), loads of gitter and glue to hold everything in place.

Pearls are essential accessories for mermaids and if you’re not going to wear them, you can at least brush them on. The Guerlain Meteorites – Light Revealing Pearls Of Powder evens out imperfection and imparts a light glow.

Another skincare favourite of mermaids, the philisophy Ultimate Miracle Worker Instant Rejuvenation Serum-in-pearl Mask contains serum-filled pearls that are light-reflecting, so skin looks instantly hydrated and glowy after use.

The Sigma Lip Switch is essentially a top coat that gives lips an iridescent shine and has been making waves (haha) since its launch. They’re out of stock on the moment but you can be sure we’ll be camping for the restock.

This 12-piece brush set is every mermaid-wannabe’s dream. Housed in its very own clam-shaped pouch, we think it’ll be the talking point of your vanity, and definitely very Instagram-worthy.

If you own the brush set above, the last thing you’d want to do is to ruin them. The Spectrum Brush clam is made of sterile silicone, so no nasty bacteria can grow on it and transfer onto your makeup brushes when you wash them. Plus, the ridges help give the bristles a good clean without damaging them.
