3 Looks Using Marc Jacobs Social Butterfly Palette
*Affiliate links. Full disclaimer details here.
Recently, I picked up the Marc Jacobs Social Butterfly Palette – a Neiman Marcus exclusive – because I was feeling extremely stupid spendy. The shades swatched so pigmented and creamy, plus I’m a total sucker for eyeshadow and eye makeup. This palette definitely seems to give more dramatic/smokey looks, but I was able to whip up an easy, all-matte look; a “daytime glam” purple smokey look; and an “all out glam” look complete with false lashes. Continue reading to see how it came out!

*For reference, I’ll refer to the shades used from LEFT to RIGHT as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.*
All Matte Eyes


- Prime lids. I used this one (my favorite).
- Apply shade 1 with the biggest fluffy brush you have all over lid – from lash line to brows.
- Apply shade 2 through the crease to create a transition/blended look.
- Apply shade 6 in the outer corner.
- Line top and bottom lash line with a brown pencil. I used this budget buy.
- Apply mascara.
Daytime Glam


- Prime lids. I used this one (my favorite).
- Apply shade 4 all over the lid, slightly above the crease.
- Apply shade 5 through the crease and outer corner for depth. Build up on outer corner to desired darkness.
- Smudge shade 4 on lower lash line inner half, blending with shade 5 on outer half so it fades from purple to smokey taupe.
- Thinly line upper lashes with a liquid liner. I used this budget buy.
- Line lower water line with brown liner (same as used from all matte look).
- Apply mascara.
All Out Glam


- Prime lids. I used this one (same as I have in the other two looks).
- Apply shade 5 all over lid up to crease.
- Apply shade 3 on mobile lid to give that gold shimmer/pop in the center.
- Blend shade 2 through the crease to create transition.
- Add shade 1 to the brow bone for highlight.
- Take shade 6 through the crease and outer corner for definition. If you go overboard, use shade 2 to continue to BLEND, BLEND, BLEND!
- Use a small tapered brush and pick up the littlest bit of shade 7 and apply to the outer corner for depth/darkness.
- Line upper lashes with liquid liner (same as used from purple look).
- Line lower lashes with black pencil liner. I used this one.
- Smudge shades 3 and 5 on lower lash line for a smokey bronze look.
- Apply a bit of mascara so falsies blend in better.
- *Optional: apply falsies of your choice. I love and used these from Sally’s Beauty.

Let me know what you think about these looks using the Marc Jacobs Social Butterfly palette! I feel like the palette is pretty versatile, although it does remind me a lot of the original Urban Decay Naked Palette (with a bit more darkness to it, less fall out and that fun lilac shade).

Thanks, girl! I rarely step out of my neutral comfort zone, so playing with that purple shade in a more prominent way (instead of just my typical along the bottom lash line) was fun and I was totally impressed with how it came together LOL.
Love the matte eyes! Seems like a very versatile palette!
You make the application look like a piece of cake! Such a beautiful palette. Might have to add this one to my list!

Haha these shadows are SO buttery, it kind of WAS a piece of cake 😉
Such a beautiful palette, I love all of these colours. Love!
Simply gorgeous! That palette is perfect on you! Great tutorial, as a wardrobe stylist makeup artistry is something that I’ve wanted to get into learning myself. I have aspirations to become a one person glam squad someday! 🙂
Thank you, Jonathan! It definitely appears like ‘standard’ neutrals, but it’s so much more 🙂 Being a one person glam squad sounds pretty super-hero-esque, haha! Keep up the dream!
