Sugarpill Nereid Tutorial
I’m still on a mermaid kick. Today’s look is with Sugarpill (affiliate link) and Illamasqua. Nereids are sea nymphs, so I used matte tones of seafoam, white, royal blue, deep blue-teal and semi-pearly bright turquoise. My allergies were horrible today but I forced myself to put on lashes for the look because I thought they’d look great. They lasted as long as I took the pictures, then I had to take them off.
I took a shot outside in natural, overcast light with no flash, so you could see some of the colors in my hair.
How to achieve the look:
- Prep the eye with Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
- Apply Sugarpill Mochi to the crease and browbone.
- Apply Sugarpill Velocity to the lid, inner and outer corners, and lower lash line. I used some MAC Fix+ to make it more intense. You can also use Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.
- Apply Sugarpill Afterparty to the crease and blend it into Velocity. Add it along the lower lash line, too.
- Apply Sugarpill Tako to the browbone.
- Use Illamasqua Intense to deepen the outer crease.
- Apply Sugarpill lashes, then add a bit of mascara to blend your lashes with the falsies.
- Line the upper lash line and lower waterline with MAC Blacktrack.
- Highlight the inner corner with Sugarpill Tako and you’re ready to go.

Lining the waterline is a bad idea.
my favorite colors! very pretty!
@ahhhdri Thank you!
@Phyrra I ended up doing something inspired by your colour choices. I’m not very good and was too shy to take photos. Maybe I’ll take some next time to show only you. I used the teal (love!) and royal blue from WnW’s “Blue Had Me At Hello”, which I recently acquired in a swap, NYX Atlantic, Anabelle “Fantasy” e/s, a touch of NYX True Taupe in my socket area, R&R “Twisted (purple) in the outer V, MAC Print to darken the V and lash lines, and MAC Vex as an inner corner highlight. I’ve never used this many eyeshadows before!
@BooBooNinja Sounds like a fun combo though!
