I got this color in a kit. It is very similar, in the pot, to socialite, but Mermaid has no shimmer and is slightly more teal. On my dark brown eyes, Mermaid looks smoky, like a blackened teal. ...

I just bought the brand new Siren set at Sephora that comes with 2 eyeshadows, blush, lipgloss and mineral veil. I have to admit that it was the packaging that made me buy it since I am completely...

My favorite BE shade. I have green eyes and this makes them pop without being "too green". It has enough gray and yellow flecks in it to be beautiful and subtle and enhance not scream that the...

I was at Sephora to exchange Vanilla Sugar, which I really wanted to like for it's *bare naturalness* (but really just ended up being pretty much just *bare* and not worth keeping when I could...

Muted gray green color that works great as a crease color or a liner on my blue eyes. Would probably look great on green or brown eyes too. A staple color that works well with lots of others,...

"Mermaid" is a muted, greyed sea green, matte finish. The grey, blue and green are pretty well balanced. Dry, it's fairly subdued. Wet, it acquires a low-key gleam and has a lovely, subtly complex...

Really love this color and use it almost every day. It brings out my eyecolor (blue) in what I consider to be a miraculous way. Two gripes: (1) the packaging bugs me because of the great...

For some reason this color came up blue on my lids (I have a hard time finding shadows that don't look too blue or too orange). Did nothing for me blue eyes and fair complexion--maybe it looks...

This is a pretty color, a sort of green-blue that you really could picture on a mermaid's tail. Although I normally love BE's eyeshadows (versus glimmers and glimpses), this is one color that I...

I bought a sample of Mermaid a while back and while BE is probably my favorite cosmetic company, I hated this color. Mermaid is a matte gray/green shade. It's pretty boring. Reminded me of a...

Sheer wash of forest green color that builds intensity with heavier application or using a wet brush (for liner). It blends easily and lasts all day without creasing. (I do put a sheer wash of...

At first I didn't think I would like it much. I just bought it because of the name, I'm obsessed with mermaids. :P It looked gray in the pot. And when I opened the pot it looked like Clinique Tea...

I was very disappointed in this one. I thought with a name like Mermaid it would be summery, shimmer, and maybe slightly iridescent. You know, like a mermaid. NO, this is muddy. Kind of matte,...

Wow. How pretty! A sweet person sent me a sample of this,and I must say it's a refreshing change from my usual nude eye look! I used it to line, but will branch out into an all over lid color next...

I think these could do with better packaging for the price (it looks kinda drugstore-ish), but that's beside the point. Mermaid is a lovely sage color in the pot, but becomes a gray/brown when I...

Mermaid is the most beautiful light sage green color. Very pretty but yet not overly green or too much color. Very subtle to really add some pop to my very boring brown eyes. Retails for $12.

My favorite way to use Mermaid is as a liner. It is a sublte sage green when applied dry and gorgeous silvery green applied wet...like a fish. When combined with other neutrals like Nude Beach or...

A lovely cool-toned light sage green. It looks great on it's own, and when layered with other BE shadows, it can look a million different ways. You can warm it up by layering True Gold over it,...
