Ladies, brace yourselves for another another mind-blowing tutorial by Australia’s own Mishka Mink! It won’t teach you how to make your own paperclip lashes (you’ll have to bug Viktor & Rolf for that!) but it will show you an incredible use of color & texture to create a high-fashion look.

INGREDIENTS
- Eyes: Lime Criminal, Enchant, Elf, Crystal Ball, Medusa, black eyeliner, mascara, crazy long lashes
- Lips: dark purple/plum lipstick – try mixing Airborne Unicorn with Styletto (available October 09)
- Face: Foundation Primer, foundation, concealer
Eyes
Prep the lids with eyeshadow primer. Start with applying ‘Medusa’ magic dust in the outer corners of the eye, blending up and into the crease. Next, apply Enchant over Medusa to soften it and blend it inwards using a soft fluffy brush, towards the inner eye. To create a highlight on the lid, blend ‘Lime Criminal’ starting halfway on the lid, and smoothing right into the inner corners. Layer it to really make the color ‘pop’. Take a pencil or bullet brush and apply ‘Elf’ right into the outer corners of the eye, blending back into Medusa and Enchant. Wet an eyeliner brush and apply ‘Elf’ along the lower lash line, as if it were eyeliner. Use a small flat brush to apply a little ‘Crystal Ball’ as the brow highlight. Use a jet black liquid liner to line along the upper lash line, flicking out at the corners.
Next apply the black liquid liner from the outer corners of the lower lash line, making sure to extend the line out past the eyeshadow and angling up towards the temples. This look calls for fun dramatic false lashes, so use the most
outrageous and Candyfuturistic pair you can find! I used Paperclip lashes by Viktor & Rolf for Shu Uemura.

Face
Moisturize skin, apply Foundation Primer and then foundation. Use concealer for spots and under eyes if needed.
Brows must be neat and defined for this look! Fill in any gaps with eyebrow pencil or a little powder in a natural shade, and then use some eyebrow gel to tame and keep in place.
Lips
I mixed my own shade of lipstick using a purple mixed with a little black. Try making your own shade by mixing ‘Styletto’ with ‘Airbourne Unicorn’ (available October 09 on limecrimemakeup.com). Finish the look with clear lip gloss. Voila!

Wow, this is amazing! I love the look of the winged liner with the blues and greens! Great work, Mishka!!
Those lashes are a sculptural work of art, and that vivid blue was the perfect choice, but what I can’t take my eyes off of are those gloves! Sexy as hell. I think I need a pair of those; they’re my new oxygen.
i really love the stark contrast and the harmonious feel of the look. i also really love those gloves.
I love this :D!
I would absolutely love to see something inspired by Cotton Candy!
just saw how much those paper clip eyelashes are…i’m very sad, but I will wait…dear lord will i wait.
Btw I love this look! ^_^
Holy crap. Not only are those lashes amazing, but she is GORGEOUS.
Beautiful! Have you ever thought about doing a video make up tutorial?
Also, I love her brows.
Those lashes are incredible!
Thats not my tipe of lashes but they where cool :P
best colour in the world (green) love your technique and the way you’ve blended. you are truly our best makeup artist
i love mishka’s work! didn’t think these were lc colours when i first saw this though- i had no idea lime criminal looked so good over a dark base D:
i wish you couldve seen me on monday, i bumped into her at the mac counter and pretty much freaked out, haha! i was squealing and babbling so much, my class just slowly drifted away from me, haha!
shes the nicest person ever~
[i'm studying makeup and our excursions are trips to stores while our teacher buys ridiculous amounts of stuff and yells at us if we don't go swatching everything we can, it's insane, i love it!]
Mishka is amazing. I saw those fantastic lashes a while ago and have lusted after them ever since! Maybe one day when i win the lottery i will buy a pair O.o
Love the blending those lashes are out of this world! And the lips so tasty!!!
Those lashes are some kind of FIERCE! I assume they’re ridiculously expensive, but maybe someday I’ll get my hands on pair… I love the way the lip color turned out too.
Gorgeous! Love the colours.
Too bad aboutthe paperclip lashes I’ll just have to figure it out myself. ;)
The lashes are great, but what I really loved was the deep green on the lids.
I have those lashes.. thanks for showing me a great way to wear them.
I found similar ones.
Well, sorta similar.
I was at Neiman Marcus and happened to glance at the Tokyo Lash Bar, and saw them: http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/_us/_en/accessories/false-eyelashes/tokyo-lash-bar-09/lucent-rainbow-false-eyelashes.htm
