How to choose a color?
In this makeup technique, choosing the right color for bright shadows is half the battle. How not to miscalculate? Focus on your color type - it is determined by the shade of the skin, eyes and hair. For example, cold shades of makeup are suitable for "winter" looks, and warm shades for "summer" ones.

In addition, in choosing the color of the shadows, you can simply focus on the color of the clothes in which you will be. If, for example, you are wearing a white and red dress, then you can use white or red shadows. They are applied to a very small area, so there will be no "bust".
How to choose a brush?
In creating "mermaid tears" is also important a brush, which will be used to apply the shadow. If you want to apply from a point, accordingly, you will need a small brush. If you want to continue a bright accent with lines on the eyelids, then you can take an angled brush.
Bright cream or liquid shadows look the most effective. But if you only want to slightly highlight the corner of the eye, then you can use standard friable. On the rest of the upper eyelid, you can apply shadows in neutral shades: beige, gray, brown.
