Flowers and butterflies

Halloween must be the best time to try any makeup and outfit. It's ok to look crazy, out of the world and just be anything we want. That's probably the whole point!

Months ago, I saw this gorgeous "enchanting butterfly" makeup tutorial at BudzBeauty and I have been waiting for a good time to try it. There's definitely no better occasion to paint a butterfly on my face than for Halloween! I thought this butterfly would be perfect for a garden fairy look and a garden fairy I shall be!

What's a garden fairy without flowers!? So I made myself a flower head garland and here's how I did it:
1: Cut the clothes hanger with the plier and twist it into a ring. Check that the ring size is a good fit to your head. Tape the ends together. 2: Cover the ring with floral tape. 3: Attach the flowers to the ring. The flowers I bought had wired stalks so they could be attached by twisting the wire around the ring. Else, use craft glue. 4: Attach more flowers and the head garland is completed!
If you love to try this butterfly makeup, you can find the video tutorial by Bubbi here. Hey, what are you going to be for Halloween?

xoxo,

  12. I saw the tutorial, too!!! I wonder though, what if after several hours I get sweaty and everything, will the butterfly lose a wing? Haha!
