The Little Mermaid beauty craze

With Disney’s The Little Mermaid live action remake just days away from its release, we look at the ethereal makeup trend sweeping the beautysphere.

Mermaidcore

Mermaid Core  is here… With Google searches for ‘mermaid style’ rising 736% worldwide in the past year, expect colour palettes of blues, pinks and purples, as well as shimmer, iridescent tones and dewy make-up looks!

The movie starring Halle Bailey in the lead role is to be released later this month, being directed by Rob Marshall and also starring Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay, Jonah Hauer-King, and more. In response, the beauty and fashion world have been gearing up with fun launches to whet Mermaid fans’ appetites, and when it comes to the data, it’s clear to see why.

As these findings show, the excitement has also transcended into the fashion space, with many fans wanting to emulate Ariel’s iconic style, indicating that purple tones, mermaid inspired swimwear, and bright patterns are set to make a big comeback this Summer.”
