This Makeup Artist Paints Her Face With Actual Dead Bugs

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!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination.
