Butterfly wings have beautiful iridescence about them that translates wonderfully into makeup. All you need is some high-shimmer eyeshadow and a brush for blending!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Rosy Blush
  • Setting Powder Makeup
  • Lime Crime opaque Lipstick in Centrifuchsia, clear gloss
  • Lime Crime magic Eye Dust in Abracadabra, Shoe Addict, Nymph, Lime Criminal
  • Foundation

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Eyes

    Prep the lids with eyeshadow primer (LC Eyeshadow Primer coming this September!). With a short-bristled brush, pack Abracadabra on the center of the lid, then Shoe Addict on outer corners, bringing it into the crease. Blend the pink and the blue together with a brush, going in circular motion. Apply Lime Criminal on lower lid as close to the lashes as possible. Blend into Shoe Addict on outer corner. Pick up a clean brush and brush Nymph as highlight onto the brow bone and a touch on the inner corner of the eye. Blend into the other colors well.

  2. 2

    Put a layer of mascara on top & bottom lashes and darken the waterline with a black pencil. Drag liquid eyeliner across the lid as close to the lash as possible. I like to wear mine winged so that’s what I did. :) Stick on false lashes to top lid only. Define eyebrows with a pencil or eyeshadow.

  3. 3

    Face
    Moisturize skin. Apply foundation all over and set with loose powder. Brush on some rosy color onto the cheeks.

  4. 4

    Lips

    Tip: fill in lips with a lip pencil prior to applying color if you want extra-staying power.

    Define lip shape with a dark fuchsia pencil. Apply Centrifuchsia lipstick directly from the tube. Press lips together; blot; re-apply. Dab a glob of clear lip gloss on the center of the mouth. Voila!
