****WARNING - IF YOU ARE NOT A BUG PERSON LOOK AWAY NOW****

 

 

****LAST WARNING****

 

 

****FINAL WARNING - DON'T SAY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED****

 

Now that we're here I'm guessing you're either fond of all things buggalicious, or you're curious as all heck. So... what's caused the warning-palooza? 

One of the most amazing and creepy pieces of makeup artistry we've seen in a long time.

Welcome to the Instagram feed of Jasmine. Instagram handle:  @butterflyjasmine49.

Jasmine creates some of the most out-there looks we've ever seen. Her artistry is impeccable, but what sets her apart is that she uses REAL bugs as adornments. In the picture above she's used Frog Legged Leaf Beetles, which are actually pretty darn stunning.

Dragonflys are gorgeous at the best of times, but who knew they could be transformed into works of art? Another reason we love Jasmine's Instagram page is that she includes facts about the insects she's used, so not only are you getting to appreciate her talent, you have the chance to appreciate the animals she's chosen to use.

They're not necessarily looks that you'd be likely to wear to work or when you're hitting the town. Heck, they may even be stretching the realms of festival-friendy. But there's definitely something hypnotic about them. Like the more you look the more you see. Also... grasshoppers as eyebrows? Didn't see it coming. And yet it works.

So what inspired Jasmine to create this series? According to her Instagram the '"Insect" Eyes Are Series' was created because she is inspired by all things nature - the colours, textures and sounds. She also wanted to show how incredible the creatures she used are - and if you scroll through her feed you'll be amazed at the animals she's used and how she's utilised them.

Worried about cruelty to animals? There's no need to be, as no animals were killed in order to create these looks. 

 

***ONE MORE WARNING... IF YOU FEAR SPIDERS BACK AWAY NOW!***

Not something I would think about doing (I totally hate bugs). But I do appreciate the artist flair. If I have to pick a favourite look the beetles and the crickets.

20th February, 2018

Er no thanks! Haha. There's just no way!

BTW it's super hard getting a great close up of eye makeup, so hats off to her being able to do it and get the bugs to pose!

12th February, 2018

Too weird - not a fan!

11th February, 2018

This is very creative she could use her art to promote awareness of endangered and rare bugs

10th February, 2018

Wow, those are amazing! Except the spider one is super creepy!

7th February, 2018

Bugs are fine with me, but not the whole trypophobia eggs under the skin thing! Gross!

7th February, 2018

I can appreciate the beauty of her creation but I know I will never be trying that on my face

7th February, 2018

Ughhh gross no!

7th February, 2018

OML what on earth ha ha ha. I take my hat off to her for trying something completely out there but real bugs? First vagina nails and now bug creations, the beauty world really has gone mad lol.

7th February, 2018

This looks like something you'd see in the wearable arts exibitions. The only question I have is how does she glue those things to her face? Or does she just lie down and take the pic lol.

7th February, 2018

Wow. It's not beauty you can wear but it is art.

7th February, 2018

Wow these bugs are pretty but I wouldn't want them near my eyes!!

7th February, 2018

Nope Nope Nope, the bug colours are cool, but could never have near me let alone on my face. just nope.

7th February, 2018

Congratulations to her for coming up with something truly original and unique. It'll probably stay fairly unique because not only is this look not one you would wear on a day to day basis and is probably uniquely for Halloween. But hardly anyone is keen to wear bugs and insects especially spiders and anything that bites and stings. Maybe, but it would probably be limited to a beautiful small Christmas beetle or a butterfly if it wasn't so close to the eye.

7th February, 2018

Definitely not a bug person but I can truly appreciate the artistry in what she does. Absolutely incredible!

Although I have to say I am loving the red eyes in that last look, definitely not the spider though ha ha ha.
