Pull a pretty Halloween costume together with items you already own.

It only takes 15 minutes to journey under the sea for a subtle mermaid look that's perfect for trick-or-treating with your kids or wearing all day at the office.

Now's the chance to resurrect those old wet n wild eye shadows that have been hiding at the bottom of your makeup bag for ages. The electric pinks and icy blues are perfect for iridescent fish scales -- now you can justify holding onto them all these years.

You can also recycle the fishnet stocking's from last year's costume or buy a wig cap for under $5 to help create texture.

If your work week has you longing for the simpler life under the sea, check out this tutorial that Mashable created with makeup artist Sasha Grossman.
