Mermaid Face

My recent hair color change has inspired my Halloween makeup look this year. (yes, the makeup was as far as I went with the costume) The burgundy I put into my hair in September has faded to this reddish orange shade, which isn't my favorite color, but reds are so hard to maintain!

Anyway, about the makeup. I knew I wanted to use my NYX Macaron lipstick in Earl Grey, so I based the look on blue and incorporated some purple on my lower lashline, and in the gems on my cheekbone. I attempted a scale effect using a cutout piece from a loofa, and a light blue eyeshadow. I didn't quite get the look I was going for, and you can't see it in the photos at all. I think using the shadows wet for that scale effect would have worked much better. You live and you learn right? Here's the list of the products used:
