Step 1. Using the purple from the Face n Body palette in Neon, create the first shape in the butterfly wing, and repeat on the other side of face.

Step 2. Using the magenta/pink colour from the Kids Face Painting Crayons in Neon, go directly onto the face and create the second shape of a butterfly wing. Repeat on the other side of the face.

Step 3. Using the pink from the Face n Body palette in Neon, go in with the next portion of the butterfly wing design. Repeat on the other side of the face.

Step 4. Using orange from the Face n Body palette in Neon, create the next shape of the butterfly wing. Repeat on the other side of the face.

Step 5. Mix yellow and white from the Kids Face Painting palette in Neon to create the next shape of a butterfly wing. This is forming a gradient of colours. Repeat on the other side of your face.

Using the yellow on its own from the Kids Face Painting palette in Neon to create the shape underneath the previous shape. Repeat on the other side.

You can blend these cream colours using the warmth from your finger by tapping into the skin. 

Step 6. Add antenna details between the two wings using the black from the Face n Body palette in Neon.

Step 7. Go around the butterfly wing design adding details using black from the Face n Body palette in Neon. Repeat on the other side.

Step 8. Taking the purple pen from the Mont Marte Face n Body pens, add shimmery dots around the design. Repeat on the other side

Step 9. Take the magenta/pink shade from the Kids Face Painting crayons in Neon and apply it to the outer portion of the lips.

Step 10. Use the orange from the Kids Face Painting crayons in Neon and apply it to the inner portion of the lips.

Step 11. Apply glitter adhesive, clear lip gloss or Vaseline to face on parts of butterfly wings design. This is where we will apply our glitter.

Step 12. Apply purple glitter using a brush or your finger to the purple part of the wings.

Step 13. Apply pink glitter using a brush or your finger to the pink part of the wings.

Now you have your finished look!
