How far would you go for cool makeup? Because this beauty guru glues dead bugs on to her face.

This is not a drill. Social media makeup influencer Jasmine attaches actual dead insects to her face to create her incredibly unique and quite frankly stunning beauty looks.

From scorpions to spiders to bees and even butterflies, she combines the critters with makeup for a look that puts smokey lids and Adele-style winged eyeliner to shame.

Based in California, the self-taught makeup maven is inspired by nature, putting together looks that seem to defy the realm of possibility. While definitely creepy, especially if you’re afraid of bugs (yikes), they are really quite beautiful and, unsurprisingly, are taking Instagram by storm.

Known as the ‘Insect Eyes Art Series’, her Insta blog really is an art portfolio, showing the world that makeup is far more than what we buy in the store.

Don’t worry, Jasmine doesn’t kill the bugs, she normally finds them dead herself or they are sent to her (also already dead) by friends. So, basically, not only are the styles amazing but no insects are harmed in their making either. It’s a win, win!
