Mermaid Ethereal is the most feminine and, at the same time, one of the most delicate Ethereals. Only the Luminous has a comparable degree of lightness; however, the Yin/Yang levels are balanced here. It means that the Luminous, unlike the Mermaid, does not increase levels of Yin in beauty and aura.
Mermaid Ethereal’s faces often resemble sad doll faces with a distant, dreamy gaze. The Mermaid draws from the universal understanding of the romantic style. Therefore, airiness, gentleness, and softness are essential features of the style.
The Mermaid hairstyles should be based on curls or waves. The hairstyles should be romantic and at the same time as natural as possible. Please note that Hollywood smooth waves are assigned to the Crystal or Retro Ethereal.
In its original, rough form, the pure Mermaid style is most closely related to the Soft Natural guidelines. In such a case, we are talking about its organic, i.e., very natural aspect. Here, the styling is not sophisticated, the fabrics should be natural, and the jewelry is artistic products made more or less professionally.
The second aspect of Mermaid Ethereal is the romantic aspect, more luxurious, and when it comes to style, it is closest to Crystal Ethereal. The highest degree of compatibility is achieved with the guidelines of Romantic and Soft Classic types. The main difference between the romantic aspect of the Mermaid style and the Crystal style is the color scheme and the type of fabrics and details. The discrepancy in stylish accents is also very vivid. Mermaid Ethereal focuses on poetic and artistic inspirations from nature. On the other hand, one of the most significant guidelines of the Crystal style is the manifestation of luxury and representativeness.
