Butterfly Snapchat Filter Makeup Look

We all love the Butterfly Filter on Snapchat, and there are days when we'd love to walk around with that soft-filtered glow and golden butterflies floating around us. That may be a bit much for our everyday work look, but it's perfect for Halloween. Retail Support Specialist Benedikte Johnson shows how to create this look with only a handful of products.

  1. Apply Smooth Affair Facial Primer & Brightener evenly over for face, neck, and décollete using a Foundation Brush.
  2. Mix 2 dots of Glow Time BB Cream and 4 dots of Liquid Minerals. Apply the mixture to your face, neck, and chest with the same Foundation Brush. Blend the foundation on your skin using the Blending/Contouring Brush.
  3. Next, use the GreatShape Contour Kit to contour, highlight, and add a rosy glow to your face. Remember to blend really well because this is a soft-focused look.
  4. Shape and define your brows with the Retractable Brow Pencil.
  5. Apply a thin layer of Gold Smooth Affair for Eyes to your eyelids using the Camouflage Brush.
  6. With the Eye Shader Brush, apply the gold color in the Sunlit/Jewel PurePressed Eye Shadow Duo onto the lid.

  9. Apply Taupe Eye Pencil below your lower lash line and bottom water line, then blend it out with the Smudge Brush.
  10. Prime your lashes with PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner and apply your favorite mascara. You could also add some fake lashes for extra volume.
  11. To get the filter effect, start by using the Sculpting Brush to apply the wax from the GreatShape Eyebrow Kit in small dots (8 or so) onto the forehead, spaced evenly, but not perfectly. Use the same brush and layer on 24-Karat Gold Dust.
  12. Next, using the White Fan Brush, apply the gold and light champagne color from the Moonglow Bronzer onto the high points of your face. Apply 3 – 4 feather-light layers to build the filter effect.
