{ Full set here }
If you remember, over the summer I constructed a very rainbowlicious outfit. Naturally, I wanted to shoot in it – and the opportunity presented itself when Steve & I got together to shoot a promo campaign for the lipsticks. Specifically: Airborne Unicorn!
I was envisioning something ethereal & slightly dark, kind of like that 80s movie Legend. I won’t lie, it took me forever to get ready – being my crazy self, I didn’t bring any help and ended up having to do everything myself! The goal was to transform myself, literally, into a human unicorn. The makeup was two non-matching rainbows stretched across my face and onto the forehead; hair was made to resemble a flowing mane. I accessorized with a candyfuturistic crystal ring I made earlier and some Japanese clear nail extensions. The whole preparation stage took about 3 hours.
The real magic erupted when I stepped onto the set and Steve’s assistant began throwing artificial snow over my head. Suddenly, I was no longer a girl dressed as a unicorn – I was a unicorn!! We all had an amazing time and produced images beyond our wildest imagination. In my book, this is how it’s supposed to be!
Deerlings: if anyone wants to make a wallpaper out of this, I’d be happy to feature it in our Downloads section. Download hi-rez file here.
omg beautifull photo’s!
You look stunning missy. Ethereal indeed <3
Amazing shoot!!!
I think this is probably my favourite thing you have ever ever ever done, which is definitely some high praise. I have to get some Airbourne Unicorn, I wanted about 3 lipsticks before, but now I’m going to have to save like hell, and get as many as I possibly can!
this photo rocks! you look beyond beautiful, steve always makes magic happen. :)
This is an amazing photoshoot. Ethereal, edgy and imaginative. Fantastic work, Doe Deere!
Absolutely stunning! I love the look and feel of the images! Especially all the sparklies ^_^ amazing!
I’m actually going to do a stock series with me as a Deer for a song by Amanda Palmer (I have to Drive). All I need is good, and realistic, or not deer horns that aren’t made out of felt.
OMG! i am in love with the photo of you with your arms above your head and the snow is falling around you! it reminds me of edward scissor hands when he is carving the ice sculpture and winona ryder is dancing in the flakes of ice/snow. so beautiful!
best. shoot. ever. it’s going to be hard to top this, but i’m really excited to see what you’ll come up with!!
Beautiful!!
But, how the hell did you attach those enormous fake crystals onto that ring? I am so in love with that ring!
Absolutely fabulous! It looks like an image out of dream!
SO MAGICAL!
Love the photos!
I was in Williamsburg in Brooklyn yesterday, and I saw this Unicorn Ice Cream truck:

I instantly thought of you! Haha.
These are amazing! I wish I could do something like this, I just never have the free time to set something so intricate up. I will be doing a shoot this Monday and I hope it turns out well!
This is such an amazing photo shoot. It’s definitely my favorite so far… you & Steve totally captured that dark, ethereal vibe, and the makeup is SO beautiful!
Magical is the only word I can find for this.
unicorns are cool!

I think this is your most beautiful photoshoot so far (that you’ve shown to us, anyway). I love those super-long eyelashes and the rainbow eyeshadow :)

Awesome, will be using it as my bg soon.
What a beautiful picture.
I love it.
Oh so great ! But you don’t make a shoot with Audrey for Limecrime ? can’t wait to see it !!!
You’re really pretty Doe, and a good model !!
That is absolutely amazing! The pic where you’re sitting down with your flowing red “mane” is my favourite. But of course you blowing on the “snow” is magical. It’s all fantastical really.
Will you do a make-up tutorial for us? I know it would be hard to recreate but i haven’t been able to stop staring at the eyes since you put the lime crime ad pic up on here. At least tell me what you used.
Great pictures! Wow! The poses are great, good work with the colors and the snow give them such an ethereal sensation!
The make-up is beautiful and you look lovely too! ^^

Sure, I’ll make a tutorial for this. :)
I absolutely love love love this photo shoot! It’s magical.
Very snow-fairy-like. The horn was so crafty of you, it’s perfect!
Wow, just, wow! What a beautiful shoot. It really is reminiscent of Legend (which just happens to be one of my favorite 80′s movies). The fake snow really makes it…the photos have this wonderful glow to them!
Diana – That’s the Heartschallenger truck, one of my favorite things ever! It’s run by an electro-clash band called Heartsrevolution. :) Really cool music! They sell Japanese toys, international candies, and vintage jewelry on that truck.
It was well worth the work, you look amazing!
Aww, you look so pretty! All the pictures from he shoot are stunning.
Gorgeous pictures, dahling! I especially love the new LC pic. I just got my love spell glitter today, although the green glint was not as prominent as I’d hoped, and I’m going to wear it to school tomorrow (which will be toned down considering that I wore a bride of frankenstein wig and zebra leggings today!)… so excited for My Beautiful Rocket- both the finished pics from the shoot and the actual lipstick.
Also, I know you’re under a lot of pressure from all of us right now, among other things (oh, yeah… you have a lfe!), so I wish you the absolute best of luck in pulling through to the best of times!

I think my jaw just unhinged and hit the floor. That is the most gorgeous photo shoot I have ever seen. My inner graphics junkie wants to play with those photos…
This photo shoot is lovely. You seriously awe me. And I took it on myself to muck about and make a wallpaper. It’s sized for 1280×720 px screen since that’s what I work on. But anyway…
here it is: http://i37.tinypic.com/nvsks5.png
Absolutely amazing photo! Any chance of getting a high rez photo for a bigger screen monitor? I want it as my wallpaper!
Oh, this photoshooting looks FANTASTIC! The colours are soooo bright and you look gorgeous!
The pics make me think of winter. I hope, it’s coming again soon. I’m really a Winter Girl and I miss my favourite season!! *.*
Doe, I think these are the best pictures of you I’ve seen yet.
Awesome shoot *0*
PS: I want to make a wallpaper for lime crime make-up , can I ?
These are easily up there on the list of most beautiful photos ever. I LOVE the snow and the rainbow makeup.
beautiful! i could almost hear the Legend unicorns :)…..
Oh, I’m so happy you’re going to make a tutorial! The makeup is simply stunning.
they’re completely gorgeous photos, absolutely magical.
i decided to have a go at making a wallpaper, i’ve never tried doing one before, but these beautiful photos were a good excuse to have a go, i thought :)
oh darn, the link didn’t work in my last comment, it seems :S
ah well, here it is again:

Amazing ^O^ I absolutely love your nails!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.
Legend was my favorite movie as a child, but I could never remember what it was called.
It’ll probably make me late for class tomorrow and I don’t care – I know what I’m watching before bed.
:D You’re my HERO.
I really LOVE the pic where you blow into the snow. Great shoot!
That is absolutely completely amazingly gorgeous. You are totally beautiful and I’m so curious as to how the photographer got the snow effect. Lovely!
