Top 5 Must-Have Pieces from the Crimson Butterfly Collection
If you’re looking to add a bit of intrigue and moodiness to your makeup routine, you’re in the right place. A touch of red here, a bit of black there and you’ve added a whole new mysterious vibe to your glam look. Our Crimson Butterfly makeup set is the easiest way to spice things up in your beauty routine even if you decide not to splurge and get the full collection set. Even adding one or two of its components into your rotation can help give your glam a whole new vibe. We’ve outlined five of our top picks from this vampy-hued collection to make getting that crimson butterfly makeup look easier than ever.
Behind the Collection
The inspiration behind our Crimson Butterfly Collection Set is a moody, All Hallow’s Eve vibe with a sanguine-inspired color story. Though this collection was originally released with Halloween in mind, its most prominent colors being black, white, red, and everything in between allow for more versatility in creating looks that are ideal for a night out or in-line with an everyday gothic glam vibe. We’re in love with the full Crimson Butterfly makeup kit, but if we had to choose only five products from this collection to add to our vanities, we would opt for ones that can create both a bold, elegant feel on their own or be used altogether for the ultimate moody makeup look. This is everything you won’t want to miss out on from our Crimson Butterfly makeup collection.
Elegant Eyeshadow Gel
For a one and done eye look with intense sparkle, our Crystal Flutter Glitter Gel is THE glitter gel to rule them all. This sparkling longwear gel features a lightweight feel and a high-shine, glimmering finish that can be used alone or layered over other eyeshadows for an intense sparkly look with true depth. It comes in three distinct shades including frosty silver shade Mimic, rich red shade Cocoon, and deep black shade Instar. All three shades can be used all over lids or with a liner brush for a glittery liner moment. The latter shade in particular would work best for a gorgeous, dramatic smokey eye makeup vibe too! The versatility of this product, and its simple yet straightforward tap-and-blend application style, make this glittery eyeshadow gel a ten out of ten for bold glam queens who want to make an impact with their makeup look without taking five whole hours to get ready. We love a one and done makeup product!
Black Velvet Lipstick
We live for a velvety matte lipstick moment in any shade, but the Onyx Kaleidoscope Lipstick from our Crimson Butterfly makeup collection holds a very special place in our hearts. Its rich color payoff and weightless feel are what keep us reaching for this intensely pigmented lippie again and again. Pair with your favorite lip oil for a glossy finish, top with your fave pearlescent powder for an iridescent glow, or wear on its own for a pop of angsty color that won’t dry out your pout. For an even more unique look, try blending this lipstick with another color toward the top or middle of your lips for a beautiful gradient effect. Halloween or not, everyone could use a little black lipstick in their life to help liven up their beauty routine.
Hauntingly Beautiful Blush
First black lipstick and now black blush? Yup, you read that right! Our Bloodline Color-Changing Blush is a cream blush with a pH-based formula that adapts to your skin for your own perfect pink shade. Not only does this blush come in a stunning, deep red translucent packaging, but it also starts off as black in the pan before changing colors as you apply it. Give it about 30 seconds and this glossy cream blush will bring an eye-catching shade of pink to both lips and cheeks after application. If you’re as in love with color-changing blush as we are, this is one cream blush you won’t want to skip.
Perfectly Paired Blush & Highlighter
Imagine if sunset blush was made into one oh-so convenient compact. That’s exactly what we had in mind when we crafted our Monarch Wings Ombre Blush & Highlighter! For beauty babes partial to powder formulas, or those who need something to set their blush while retaining or adding a little extra luminance, this gradient blush and highlighter bar does it all. Dip into the highlighter side for an intense glow on the high points of your glam or focus on the blush side for a perfectly peachy pink blush, concentrated exactly where you want it. Alternatively, you can swirl your brush around the compact for a customizable luminous blush shade. The possibilities are endless with this two-in-one blush and highlighter! We especially recommend grabbing this if you’re someone who loves blush, highlighter, and travelling as this product can help save a bit of space in your makeup bag.
Vampy Versatile Eyeshadow Palette
If you’ve made it this far, and you’re still unsure of which glam goody to grab from this collection, perhaps what you’ll be most delighted by is a moody, mysterious Crimson Butterfly palette. Our Cursed Chrysalis Palette is a 9-pan eyeshadow palette designed like a decorative picture frame and filled with a range of sparkly metallics and buttery mattes. Similar to the Crystal Flutter Glitter Gel, this palette features black, red, and white shades, but you’ll also find grays, pinks, and reds in both matte and shimmery finishes. The color story in this palette will allow you to create everything from fiery glam looks to tame everyday slays depending on your vibe for the day. From the versatile inner colors to the intriguing outer packaging, this is one palette that just may earn a spot on your vanity hall of fame.
