MIMI is a Time Inc. property.

Makeup artist Ryan Krasney has gotten all kinds of creative with her makeup application techniques. So much so, in fact, that she’s turned clients’ lips into a mini-canvas, crafting everything from famous works of art to intricate patterns on her pout.

Based in Bethesda, Maryland, Ryan is also the co-owner of Blend Event Makeup Artistry.

Easy to see why given her attention to detail — just look at her Van Gogh or Salvador Dali-inspired looks.

Check out some of her most wonderful (and wackiest!) creations below. And then, peruse her Instagram for more.
