I have never seen anyone outline a Butterly like that. SUPER effective. I'll have to try that sometime. :)

Thank you so much, Ariel! 😊 the outlining was experimental, but it ended up working out!

I love your style of butterfly

[@shawnafae]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you love it! 😁

[@danakemp4123]

Thank you! I was doing one stroke butterflies with success for a few years, and I've simply hit a wall with them. I think I'm becoming more of a "sponging with details" painter, so this helped me so much!!!

[@shawnafae]

I'm so glad this helped! One stroke can be tricky around the eyes and can be a little stiff when the paint dries so I think sponging the base is easier and more comfortable. 😊

[@lucycroft1241]

Fantastic thankyou. I learnt quite a few tips from you, and I've been painting for years 😳

[@shawnafae]

I'm so happy to hear that! You're very welcome! 😁

[@christinavogel84neu]

Great advice to re-spray your brush and to use a q-tip two sides for lips! Thank you

[@shawnafae]

I'm glad you liked it! 😁

[@bz_artz2121]

[@shawnafae]

Awesome!! I'm so glad you liked it. 😁 Princess Crown is going on the top of my list 😊 and maybe I'll also do Spiderman!

[@trinityxaphan2315]

Great design. I have the same thoughts about makeup facepaint crossover& subscribed to see where you go with that.

[@shawnafae]

Thanks! Makeup techniques and products have been revolutionary for my practice! I'll be experimenting and sharing knowledge on this subject more. 😊

[@esthersamson1595]

Thank you!

[@shawnafae]

You're so welcome!! 😊

[@RedHeadMERMAID83]

I loved it! Also digging the October makeup vibes! 😘 requests!! Dino, sharks or cars/trucks I get those requested a lot and they’re hard for me 🤦‍♀️😞😩

[@shawnafae]

Aww yeah they are fall colors huh? 😊 ooh I have a shark design that I could share and I'll start thinking of a dino design! I usually use stencils for cars tbh 😅 but I could do a video on that!

[@lrt5336]

I’d also love a car design even if it’s with a stencil. 😊

[@tracyosborne4678]

Absolutely stunning 😍

[@pao.diaz22]

💖💖 hermoso trabajo 💖💖

[@shawnafae]

Gracias!! 💖

[@lrt5336]

Gorgeous! 😍 How much time would you give this design on the job, and would you include every step (minus liquid bling on kids)?

[@shawnafae]

Thank you! 😊 I've done this one OTJ a few times, it takes me about 5 minutes and I usually leave out a few eye spots and wispy lines.

[@madeincoventryshop]

Hi I have just brought this pallet but it says only to be used on prosthetics not on skin. Do you use it on customers?

[@shawnafae]

Hi! 😊 The reason it's labeled that way is because of the neon pigment in the paint which hasn't been tested for cosmetic use by the FDA and therefore isn't FDA approved. However, they have been tested and approved by independent labs. I choose to use them on clients and my specific insurance supports my use of them.

[@surferzita]

hello, I tried I tried. Looking disappointed though ahahah. which size of brush do you use for the strokes? I did with 1/2 and it is still big. thanks

[@shawnafae]

Hi there! For the outside of the wings I used a 1/2" brush and very light pressure. For the details on the inside, I recommend an even smaller brush like 3/8" and you could even try using that brush for the outside too 😊 hope that helps!

[@mariskareichel9648]

Were do you buy this
