Makeup Artist Using Dead Insects on Her Eyes Goes Viral

Let it be known: I am not someone who is easily grossed out. Blood, gore, and grime — no sweat. But, the one thing I cannot and will not fuck with is bugs. Just the mere thought of insects (aside from cute little ladybugs, the only exception) sends shivers down my spine and elicits that uneasy feeling most people experience when coming into contact with creepy crawlers. Makeup artist Jasmine Ahumada, however, does not fall into this category of people.

The self-taught Instagram MUA is currently going viral, but not for just any rad, albeit conventional(ish), eye makeup artistry. No, Ahumada is making waves right now for her otherworldly creations that feature actual insects. Yeah, I'll let that sink in for a minute.

MakeupTarte Just Teased a Shape Tape Foundation on Instagram (Update)

It's no joke: She uses dead bugs — grasshoppers, beetles, moths, and more — and glues them on as an accent to her eye makeup. But don't worry, she does keep things super sanitary. "Place a barrier between the skin and bug," she told Popsugar, adding that she usually uses thick lash glue or even gems for this. It's also worth noting that Ahumada has never once hurt or killed an insect in the process, but rather hunts for dead ones or hits up Petco (the store sells them as food for reptiles).

Some of her wildest works include real scorpions, a beetle just centimeters from her tear duct, and a bumblebee that still looks ready to sting. Get this: She's even used worms as a stand-in for false lashes. Homegirl glued them on as if they were Ardells. Needless to say, Ahumada definitely has a bright future ahead of her in the makeup world, especially if she's thinking of going into prosthetics.

Now, if you dare, check out some of her most outlandish insect-inspired looks, below.
