Butterfly liner makeup has been trending on social media, with the majority of beauty influencers sporting the look. Although some people are literally embracing the butterfly motif by creating intricate wings to resemble the insects, others, celebrities, are adopting a more mature style with their colorful yet understated looks.
The butterfly eye makeup look is both fashionable and enjoyable, making it excellent for summer. If you want to try this eyeliner makeup trend, here are some suggestions on how to get the look, as well as some of our favorite butterfly liner styles.
How to Apply Butterfly Eye Makeup a Step-by-Step Guide
Primer
Preparing your eyes first will result in the most pigmented and long-lasting eye makeup.
Prime the area where you will be creating butterfly wings using an eyeshadow primer or concealer.
Make a wing with your eyeliner
Begin with a liquid liner to make wings to define your eyes and start crafting the new eyeliner style.
To define your upper lash line, use a liquid liner with a fine tip. Draw the line till it reaches the end of your brow, or even further, to form the top of butterfly wings.
Outline the Form
After you’ve sketched the top portion of the wing, all that remains is to draw the bottom part’s curves and form points at the outside corners.
You should begin by sketching out the outline of the wings. In case you make a mistake, draw your outline using an eyeliner pencil that is close to the same tone as your skin. When you’re happy with how the shape looks, trace it with the liquid liner.
If you are a skilled makeup artist, you can skip the outlining phase for butterfly eye makeup.
Include Some color.
Then we’ll add some color. Choose any colors you like and fill in the outline you’ve made with them one at a time.
It is not required to draw the colors perfectly—as long as they blend well, the gradient effect will be created. Because you are working with a small area, it is advisable to fill in the color with an eye pencil to achieve the butterfly eye makeup look.
Fill in the Blanks
Make the interior veining look complicated by freehand sketching asymmetrical lines with your liquid eyeliner to link the tops and bottoms of the wings.
Increase the Length of Your Eyelashes
This butterfly makeup trend requires fluttery eyelashes. Finish with one or two coats of a lengthening mascara.
Finishing Touches
Last but not least, add some details with your white liner. A few dots give your wings the appearance of butterfly eye makeup, and white highlights aid in bringing out any jumbled color. You may even use it to line your inner waterline if you wish.
You Can Try These Iconic Butterfly Liner Looks
Try one (or more) of these beautiful butterfly eye makeup ideas.
Magic in Monochrome
If you enjoy the notion of butterfly eye makeup but don’t want it to be too bright, this is the look for you. Make a black outline of the butterfly wings and leave the inside details blank.
Simply lovely, this style allows your lips and brows to shine out. This is as understated as butterfly makeup gets.
Beautiful Wings
Instead of trying for a literal interpretation, this butterfly liner look takes a new route. Apply some bold wing liner to the outside corner of your eye and some fainter tracings to the rest of your lid. The markings are similar to those found on butterfly wings.
Fill in the pattern with a gentle palette of blue and pink for a feminine touch. Apply mascara to the upper lashes only, leaving the bottom lashes naked.
Face Paint with a Butterfly Eye Mask
If you struggle to achieve precise winged eyeliner, you might believe a butterfly eye makeup look is unattainable.
However, there is a simple trick: softly sketch the contour of the wings with a brow pencil before applying any aggressive pigment or dark liner. After you’ve drawn out your figure, you may start applying cosmetics and color. After you’ve decided on your colors, add the black outline and detailed designs.
Pixie in White
Do you have a thing for white, delicate, and pure things? Then you’ve got to try this eyeliner! This look is both lovely and mesmerizing because of the stunning eyeliner and seductive white lashes. Make this look artistic by using white eyeliner.
If you want to replicate those lashes, you can either purchase colored false lashes or put white liner on your mascara wand and coat it on your lashes.
Winged One
It takes time to achieve symmetrical winged eye appearances. Instead, go for a single winged style! The appearance is equally remarkable. Apply some pigmented eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eye and divide it between your upper and lower eyelids to achieve this effect.
When drawing your wings, bring the eyeliner in slightly instead of sketching outside of the color to achieve a more diffused look.
Minimalistic Beauty
To create a cool gradient, combine the pigments with many brushes (one for each shade) so the color does not become muddy or stray.
Final Thoughts:
Embracing the butterfly eyeliner trend is about enjoying creativity, self-expression, and the ever changing realm of beauty, not just adhering to a passing fad in fashion.
So let’s embrace this trend, unleash our creative side, and let our eyes soar with the grace and beauty of butterfly-inspired eyeliner. After all, there are no restrictions on our imagination in the realm of makeup.
