Oh my gosh i love this!!! first off the blue makeup makes her eyes sparkle with a hazel / brown color. i love how precise the shininess is on the scaling effect. the hair looks beautiful with the shining going throughout it and how its a red / brown color. the complexion is perfect on her face. i also love the lipstick color. it wors well with the blue and see weed effect on it. the last thing i have to say is that the diamond necklace is a nice touch. thank you for sharing this with the people of DeviantArt

First of all I want to say that with the recent time I am a fan of mermaids and I am very glad that someone here (on our beloved DA) had show us these beautiful and mystic creatures in such a specific way! Really, I saw many very talented and high qualified pictures but mermaid make-up is some very special and unusual artwork!

Well, let’s go straight to the artwork by itself. I love how the artist kept the "classical for mermaids" palette of colors (green as algae, blue as water) and of course I could not ignore the red hair of the model which comes to the most famous mermaid from our (most of us) childhood - Ariel. All this is very classic but nevertheless author added many special/specific elements in her work. These will be the drawn algae in each corner of the eyes what is new because I haven't saw this element ever before. And what is also a little bit strange for me is the top line of blue part in the make-up. Why is it strange? I do like how the lower line goes and emphasize the eyes but the top one finish straight "in the middle" of the eyes, but the blue make-up continuous. Maybe if those lines would go both from the corners of the eyes it would look a little bit better. Nevertheless the abundance of all the make-up on the face of the model doesn't let this spoil the whole look. One more thing confuses me. In the green part of make-up we can see her dark, as a feather of a crow, eyebrows, but then (and we still see it) the eyebrows are calked. I wanted to point on this element because I didn't get the sense, why the artist needed to hide only the part of the models eyebrows. Now I can go to the green part of the make-up. I really like how it unapparent goes from the bridge of the nose and cover the entire forehead and even a little bit the hair line. This shows how attentively and thoroughly the artist was doing her work, but nevertheless I have one "but" even here! I said that I love that the artist had used the green color in her work and I really love all the green palette in this work, but all those "spots" reminds me not a mermaid but another amphibia - frog. I didn't say that I do not like frogs, on the contrary I love them very much, but nevertheless how I would love them, they won't become mermaids (prince maybe)!

I love all the sparkles elements in this artwork. I don’t know how it looks in the reality, but I can see how shinny and sparkly it is even on the photo, so I would not fully agree with the author with “it's hard to tell here but everything is just covered in sparkles” because I see it right here! About all the sparkle elements I can truly say brilliant because it brings something very special in this artwork, so it became less static then it could be!

Well, I still think that this is very special and unusual artwork and I can say that I love it in spite of every criticisms that I said (I want to remind that it was only my own point of view and I believe that most of the watchers may be just crazy about the art of this artist). Thank you for showing us your incredible talent!

With all my respect.
