Mermaid Eyes: the eye shadow trend of summer 2025 - here's how to create the look with L'OYÉ
Why Mermaid Eyes are this summer's trend
Summer 2025 is all about shimmering, iridescent eye looks reminiscent of the enchanting colors of the sea. The "Mermaid Eyes" trend, inspired by the play of light underwater, is everywhere, from the catwalks to social media.
With L'OYÉ's Pressed Eyeshadow and of course Moonstone toppers you create this look effortlessly. All without heavy textures or excessive glitter.
What are Mermaid Eyes?
'Mermaid Eyes' are eye looks with a glossy, wet finish in soft, pastel shades such as lavender, turquoise and pearl. The look is all about light reflection and a subtle multidimensional effect. Perfect for sunny days and long summer evenings.
Here's how to create Mermaid Eyes with L'OYÉ
1. Choose a pastel-colored base
Start with a soft, matte eyeshadow from the blend & match collection. Think shades such as Lady or Sweets. Bring these color lightly over the entire eyelid and gently blend the edges for a fresh base.
2. Add a Moonstone topper
Over the matte base color, apply a Moonstone topper to create the characteristic shimmer of Mermaid Eyes. For example, choose Change for a pearl effect or Sensual for a subtle iridescent shimmer. Gently dab with your fingertip for a natural, wet finish effect.
3. Accentuate the inner corner of the eye
Use a lighter Moonstone such as Princess in the inner corner of the eye to make the eyes appear larger and brighter.
