Are you fascinated by the world of mermaids and want to live like one of them, or are you going to wear a mermaid costume for a fancy dress party and want to get into the part? Here's how to do it!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: The Appearance
Step 1. Hair should be mid-shoulder or even longer
If you don't have them, get some extensions.
- Grow your hair, at least to the shoulders.
- If they're not wavy, create natural waves with ordinary or foldable curlers, a curling iron, or straightener. Or weave them in after washing them before going to bed and melt them the next day.
- The hair must also be shiny. When shampooing, wet it with vinegar before the last cold rinse. Prepare natural masks based on eggs, oil, aloe vera …
- If it's not cold outside, leave your tips wet, so you'll have a "fresh out of the ocean" look. Sprinkle some water mixed with salt for a beach look.
- Choose the right hair accessories. Since you live underwater, opt for a fake starfish and even a few grains of sand in your hair.
Step 2. As for the face, create a natural look
Like?
- Use blue, green and purple eyeshadows and blue or silver mascara.
- Apply a thin layer of glitter on the eyelids and lips.
- Apply a light pink lipstick.
- Make-up must be water resistant.
Step 3. Dress like a real sea creature
Here's what to wear:
- The top of a bikini, maybe blue or purple. Get one whose cups are reminiscent of shells.
- If you love the mermaid look, you can also adapt it to everyday life, perhaps by wearing long and fresh clothes, to remind people of the waves of the sea. Pair a loose top with a pair of skinny jeans or a long skirt. Choose shades of blue, green and purple. Pink is fine too, in some cases.
- Wear flip-flops and sandals that have shells applied. The other shoes should be casual. Mermaids don't wear footwear, so you won't have to draw attention to your feet.
- Paint your fingernails and toenails pink, blue, or other ocean colors. You can also do nail art with sea stars and anchors.
Step 4. Mermaids don't wear a lot of accessories so they can swim better, but here are a few to set you apart:
- Put on coral jewelry or made with shells.
- Put on a "mood ring" to communicate the complicated emotions of a mermaid. Just remember that some of these accessories are of low quality, so don't wear them for too long.
- Get a coral-colored handbag.
- Buy an aquatic-themed diary, where you will write all your secrets.
Method 2 of 3: Living in the Sirens' Paradise
Step 1. Spend as much time as possible near the water to surround yourself with the real environment of a mermaid
But you don't have to go to the bottom of the ocean!
- If you live near the sea, go to the beach often.
- If you don't live near the sea, go to a lake or river or go to the swimming pool.
- Spend more time in the shower. Mermaids love water!
- Is it time to go on vacation? Your destination must be an island!
Step 2. Here's how to reproduce the ocean in your home:
- Buy an aquarium and put fish in it.
- Decorate the house with shells and corals. The dishes should also be water-themed.
- Hang marine pictures and paint the walls blue.
- Surround the bed with algae and fake coral and other elements from the sea floor.
- Buy some blue curtains.
- Store your clothes in a pirate chest.
Method 3 of 3: Behaving like a Siren
Step 1. Behave mysteriously
A mermaid living on land probably has a double life. Don't reveal too much about your underwater existence and keep your identity a secret. Here's how to feed the mystery.
- Write in your diary for a long time and, when someone approaches, close it.
- Talk about your friends underwater and then act like you're embarrassed for missing out on a few words about them.
- Say things like "Nobody understands the sea like me" or "I could never eat a fish: these animals are our friends!".
- Run away unexpectedly without giving an explanation, saying something like "They need me". Run to the sea.
Step 2. Sing a lot, both when you are alone and when you are in company:
mermaids always do.
- If you're not a good singer, practice.
- Always sing. Pretend to be taken aback when your friends approach you while you are singing.
- If it is inappropriate to sing, hum to yourself.
- Try to look wistful when you sing, as if you are thinking about your life in another world.
Step 3. Swim like a fish
A true mermaid should have impeccable swimming skills and feel more comfortable in the water than on land. Here's how to make water your first element:
- Swim often and practice this sport frequently.
- Mermaids can breathe underwater, you can't - practice holding your breath longer.
- When swimming, bring your legs and feet together.
Step 4. Show yourself slightly dazed in the terrestrial world
The house of the mermaids is the ocean, so the earth confuses them. Pretend you don't understand everyday things or find strange uses for normal objects. Here are some examples:
- Brush your hair with safe but strange objects, such as a fork (remember the Little Mermaid?) Or a pencil.
- When you eat, show confusion over glasses, plates, and utensils.
- He also shows confusion in the face of technology, especially in the face of computers, cell phones and televisions. You don't have these things underwater!
- Come up with funny names for ordinary objects.
- Don't eat the food everyone else consumes, especially fish. Are you vegetarian!
- Show some confusion about how your legs work and walking.
- She says she is terrified of eels, which are evil creatures in your world!
Step 5. Hang out with other aquatic creatures so you don't feel alone
- Go out with other mermaids. You will be more convincing in a group.
- Find the right newt for you.
- Add starfish, crabs and tropical fish to your aquarium clique.
- Get the mermaid tail on this site. This video shows you how to make one for convenient swimming: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtwnOQg_KH8 video].
Advice
- Don't wear clothes or accessories that are too flashy and avoid plastic or shoddy things - mermaids don't wear anything like that.
- If you fear the judgment of others, get used to behaving like a mermaid in the house and then show it outside.
