Step 1
Begin by priming your eyes with eyeshadow primer. I use Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Step 2
Create a widows peak with a dark green eye shadow at the top of your head.
Step 3
Use a lighter color green to then fill in the rest of your face. Create the illusion of fading the greens by either using lighter greens as you go down your face, or using less eyeshadow. (It's okay if it's blotchy and messy!)
Step 4
Begin to cover your eye lids by putting a light green/white on the inner third, and a greenish yellow of the outer 2/3.
Step 5
Take a teal or very blue color and go over the green and yellow and then follow out to create a winged shape
Step 6
Use a dark blue or a small amount of black in your crease. Blend well.
Step 7
Line the tops of your lashes with liquid liner and fan out. Then draw spirals down the side of your face. (Any spiral will do, and they don't have to be matching on each side!)
Step 8
Line the upper water line and the lower water line with liner, and apply mascara. At this time i also applied my blush. I used a rosy pink color. *After you apply your blush, really blend it into your cheeks so that any blotchy green spots go away!*
Step 9
Apply your hot pink lipstick.
Step 10
The final step is the most time consuming. Apply Rhinestones along the widows peak coloration from the first step. I had more at the top and then faded them out to the bottom. For this step i used eyelash glue to apply them, but Spirit glue would be better for longer wear. I picked up each rhinestone with a tweezer, dipped it in glue, and positioned it on my face.
Step 11
Took off that ugly yellow shirt! And in different light (Kind of washes out the color a little :/) All you need to do is get a floor length tight green skirt (Or easily make one) And a shell bra/bathing suit! And your done!
Step 12
For an extra oceanic feel i simply twisted each side of my hair and positioned it with a seashell clip.
