MERMAID SCALES

Using a fine brush, draw the base of the fish scales across one side of the face with sea blue and dark brown around the edges.

Build depth slowly within the scales using the colours pale green and lilac and adding highlights with sparkle lilac and sparkle pale green with a brush. Once the colour is complete, add shadows to the scales using a fine brush and white and black.

Finish by adding two horizontal ‘cracks’ under the cheekbone with black and a few shadows around the outside of the scales, blending with a flat brush for a softer finish. Add a glossy purple lipstick for extra wow.
