A new look for the office? Probably not. But we think this floral watercolor-meets-face look would look fab on any designer's runway or on someone like Miley Cyrus, who is always looking for new ways to elicit shock and awe on the red carpet.

International makeup artist Roshar's gorgeous multicolored makeup look has us wondering -- can we make this work in real life? Hey, if Lady Gaga could sport a rainbow face in her "Applause" video, why not?

Makeup artist Sarah McG created this amazing, painting-inspired look using shades from the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette. We love that she didn't stop at her face and took the look down her neck and onto her ears and hair. That's commitment.

Autumn Fire

Autumn Fire
This Portland-based makeup artist is a wiz at dramatic eye makeup looks, like this jazzed-up cat eye. Even if over-the-top dramatic makeup looks aren't for you, take a cue from her, and use highlighter on the brow bone and white eyeliner on your lower lash line to make eyes pop.

We spend our days pinning gorgeous images on Pinterest, following top makeup artists on Instagram and overall entrenching ourselves in everything beauty-related, but we've never seen anything like these dramatic makeup looks. We found some of the most innovative makeup artists and beauty bloggers around who know no bounds when it comes to makeup. Ombré eyebrows, watercolor face paint -- nothing is off limits. You won't believe the looks they created.
