Potion first, wardrobe second, and the order is fixed.
The opening stage has you gathering ingredients from the sea floor, adding each one to the pot and mixing. Only once Barbie has a tail does the styling begin: hair with a colour change, a top, decoration applied directly to the fin, then accessories.
Decorating the fin is what separates this from an ordinary Barbie makeover. The tail is treated as a surface to be patterned rather than a garment to be picked off a rail, and it ends up carrying most of the character.
How to play Barbie Dazzling Mermaid
Collect the ingredients from the sea bed, then add them to the pot and mix the potion before anything else happens. Style the hair first once the wardrobe opens, since the colour change affects how everything else reads, then choose a top, decorate the fin and finish with accessories. There is no save button, so screenshot the finished look.
