I have never done anything like this and I sincerely take my hat off to anyone who manages the stunning photo's I see everyday! This was hard work! I think I took about 100 photos before I settled on these.

We're so pleased you took the plunge and put yourself out there, because you've done a beautiful job! There's something almost Illamasqua-esqe about the makeup you have created. Well done!

Wow SaraMay, that's a huge compliment!
I've spent too many hours lately as the creative driving force behind my own business and I just wanted to do something ridiculous and fun. Something I've never done before. This was such a great stress relief (well the makeup was, not the photography) and it was hours of fun.
This bit may give you a giggle, especially after the Illamasqua compliment. Guess what my business is? I have my own cosmetics company and am proud to say that 90% of whats in the photo I made myself!

Some amazing looks here! Melissa, I love that wash of colour. So pretty.
Here are my everyday Mermaid inspired FOTD and NOTD looks.
I went for a very wearable, understated use of the theme but had fun playing with these colours.

I was too shy to post this here before, but I'm loving the supportive nature of the Makeup Utopia forums so eventhough I won't get the competition points, I'm posting my first one here anyway :)

This was my small attempt at the mermaid look. I just had the look on my eyes and went with blues and greens in the intensifeye eyeshadow by australis and I used a wet brush.
