“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” – Maya Angelou

As dainty as butterflies appear, it is when they are struggling to emerge from their cocoon that their wings develop their strength.  In a way, many of us are like butterflies.  We may start off grounded, with seemingly limited possibilities.  As we go through life’s struggles we change, growing through adversity until one day we transform.  Emerging beautiful, strong, and able to take ourselves farther than we ever imagined.

To get this look, try a kohl eyeliner, like MAC’s  on your lower lids to frame and accentuate your eyes.  To create a stunning nude lip, line your lips with a lip pencil that is close to your skin tone.  Then apply a nude lip color, like MAC’s Freckletone.  For added shine and dimension add a clear lip gloss or a tinted gloss for a hint of color.
