What should you consider when looking?
If you're not used to such colorful makeup, start with a more subtle shade like purple or turquoise. For women who want to highlight their eyes and are not afraid to play with colorful makeup, neon eyeshadows are the best option. Neon yellow was the most used suggestion within the trend as it suits almost every eye color.
Aside from being super trendy, neon eyeshadow has another advantage: the bright and vibrant colors immediately make your eyes look more awake and fresh. In addition to neon, you can also use shimmering eyeshadows in other colors, such as white, silver or gold. Choose the shade that best suits your skin tone or creates an effective color contrast with your eyes.

Another super important point to achieve the result of highlighting and making the eyes appear larger is to make sure that the makeup you choose has good pigmentation. For this reason, liquid and cream eyeshadows are highly recommended, but you can also use a well-pigmented product in powder form, either over the liquid eyeshadow or alone. Using an eyeshadow primer only on the inner corner of the eye also helps set the eyeshadows, especially on hot summer days. A colorful gel eyeliner pencil is another great option for those wanting to try out the trend - plus it's super practical to use.
How to create the Mermaid Tears
Step 1:Apply primer to the entire lid with your finger, then powder to create an even surface. To make the Mermaid Tears stand out better, use neutral nude tones to make up the movable lid.
Step 2:Using a small brush, apply the colorful eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye. Start in the tear duct area and blend the color slightly down and up towards the crease of the eyelid. Alternatively, you can dab the eyeshadow color onto the inner corner of your eye with your ring finger.
Step 3:After you have applied the color, you need to blend the transitions. To do this, take a clean blending brush and start blending at the outer corners.
Step 4:Complete the look by drawing a beautiful cat eye eyeliner and applying mascara. The Mermaid Tears are ready!
In order for the splash of color to really come into its own, it is important to create balance in the eye by keeping the other colors subtle. Optionally, you can also use a gray eyeliner with glitter instead of black.
If you want to make the splashes of color even more intense and shiny with glitter particles, you should first apply concealer in a very light shade as an eyeshadow base. This works great for a photo shoot where the makeup needs to be a little more noticeable.
