I really found doing butterflies difficult when I first started face painting. 
I used to hate children asking me to paint a butterfly, because I couldn't get it even.  One side would be good and the other well let's just say the more I tried to make it better the worse it looked..
Now I love doing butterflies.
A tip to help make a butterfly or this bee even on both side.
Start with your most difficult side
Then match the other side to that.
I works believe me.
Using a No. 6 round brush and water based face paint.
Only use approved paint for Face Painting. I use Snazaroo, Grimas and Kryolan.
Draw a cloud shape line keeping the paint wet. Then with a dry sponge drag the wet paint down.
Using the right brushes help get the effect you want.
I use good quality art brushes which I buy from my local craft shop. 
Except the L4 Brush which is my favourite brush I buy this from Grimas
