How to Make a Perfect Mermaid Costume

When you have to go to a fancy dress party you will want to make sure that you look amazing and one of the best things you can go as is a mermaid & mermaid costumes are easily found so that you can do this. There are some things about wearing a mermaid costume that just make you feel sexy and pretty. You feel magical for that evening and hopefully you can get people to vote you as the best dressed.

When you look at a mermaid you have to put together an outfit with a bikini top or sexy top and then a tail. Now obviously it is impossible to walk around and dance at your party wearing a full on mermaid’s tail, but you can create the same effect using a tight long skirt that is made from shimmery fabric and onto it you should have a meerjungfrau flosse kinder fanned out tail part. This can almost be like a train that comes off the back of the skirt.

To make this look less like a skirt and more like a tail, you should blend the waistband into your skin by using some clever make up techniques. You can make sure the waistband of the skirt is more fitted onto your hips and then use the same color body paint as the skirt to paint some scales onto your skin. These should start fading as they get to your waist where it will then blend with your skin color.

Making your costume

The next part of making your costume a hit is to use a long wig that is tousled and messy. In it you should add strands of shimmery thread, braids in all different colors, as well as things from the ocean like shells and coral. On your head be sure to wear a special tiara to be the mermaid princess!

With making or getting your mermaid costume you can easily make it look more authentic by adding in your own touches using make up and body paints as well as accessories. You can really make a statement by wearing a belly chain make of shells. You could wear some long dangling seaweed shaped earrings.

With the makeup you have to think about what kind of mermaid you want to be. If you want to look more like a mermaid from a fairy tale or a princess mermaid then you should use all shimmery pinks, lilacs, blues and greens for eye shadow and use plenty of fairy dust.

If you want to create a darker, more “realistic” mermaid, then you can use darker greens, purples, and blues and cover your entire eye area right out to your temples with makeup. You can use an eerie lilac lipstick to make this look cooler. For a Halloween party this kind of scary mermaid can be great fun to dress up as.

Whatever you decide to do, your meerjungfrau decke costume can easily be made or found using some items that you might have lying around or by putting outfits together in a clever way. You can of course buy a stunning mermaid costume online, or hire one from your local fancy dress shop.
