Flutterby Eye

Hey,

I stumbled on this beautiful picture on Tumblr several weeks ago and I knew I had to reblog it. Today I looked in my archives and I couldn't find it, so devo. So I googled butterfly eye makeup and I couldn't find it either. I tried searching tumblr tags and weheartit but the result was positive. However, when googling, I did manage to find several other pretty ones.



So gorgeous and whimsical, right? I adore the colours and they go so well with the eyes which I would suspect are edited. Imagine if someone's eyes looked this colour, that would be a bit too freaky and on the border of alienish. Unless you are going to a fancy dress party as a lifesize butterfly, under the age of ten or you are celebrating Halloween, no one should be caught wearing such a thing so here is a more simple look that is, perhaps, inspired by the picture (the colours are different, I know).
