Let your inner unicorn sparkle with adhesive gems and whimsical makeup

Let’s face facts. Finding a unicorn is about as likely as finding a four-leaf clover, unless you count all the rainbow-hued beauties sporting pastel and glitter-enhanced makeup. While the mermaid makeup trend has its loyalists, unicorn makeup brings out the elusive, fleeting, mythical creature we all long to be.

When the mood strikes you, grab your prettiest blue, pink and shade-shifting white duochrome shadows, and chart a course for makeup wonderland. Shimmer is essential here, and false lashes are a no-brainer. You can still use your go-to nude lipstick, just top it with sparkly raspberry gloss for a makeup fairy tale come true.

Instructions
1. To help your makeup adhere better and to reduce the appearance of pores, apply primer stick to your T-zone.

2. Apply cream foundation above and below the brow bone with a concealer brush to hide discoloration and sharpen the outline of the brows.

3. Outline your brows, and fill in sparse areas with eyebrow pencil.

4. To simulate the look of microblading, brush eyebrow gel through your brows with an angled brow brush.

5. Set the foundation below the brow bone with pressed powder. Use an eye shadow brush for precision.

6. Apply chestnut brown eye shadow on the outer corner and slightly above the crease of the eye with a blending brush.

7. Apply blue eye shadow to the entire lid in a patting motion using the shader brush.

8. Pat white duochrome eye shadow onto the center of the lid with an eye shadow brush.

9. Sweep pink matte eye shadow into the crease and onto the outer corner with a blending brush. Layer the pink over the blue to create purple near the outer corner of the eye.

10. Line the upper lid with black liquid eyeliner, and then create a wing at the outer corner.

11. Brighten the inner eye near the tear duct by applying white duochrome shadow with the pencil brush.

12. Pat peach-colored luminizing cream onto the tops of your cheekbones as well as your nose and forehead.

13. Even out your skin by applying liquid foundation with a foundation brush or damp beauty sponge.

14. Brighten the under eye area, and bring light to the center of your forehead as well as your nose and chin by applying concealer with the applicator wand. Press the concealer into your foundation with a damp beauty sponge.

15. Pat and press baked face powder into your foundation with a powder brush.

16. Give your face a sun-kissed glow by applying bronzer to your cheeks and temples with a fan brush.

17. Sweep pink eye shadow onto your cheeks with a cheek brush.

18. Accentuate your cheekbones with pink highlighter. Using a small buffing brush will make the highlight more pronounced. Apply highlighter to the center of your forehead as well.

19. Dust silver shimmer powder on the tops of your cheeks and temples with a powder brush.

20. Apply two coats of black mascara to your lashes.

21. Hold the false lashes with the tweezers, and apply a small amount of lash glue onto the lash band. Let the glue set for 10 seconds, then apply the lashes just above your upper lash line.

22. Apply royal blue metallic eye shadow below the lower lashes with a flat shadow liner brush.

23. Outline your lips with nude lip liner.

24. Fill in your lips with dark beige lipstick.

25. Apply raspberry glitter lip gloss to the lips for extra sparkle.

26. No unicorn would be complete without a little bling, so apply multiple self-adhesive facial gems between and above your brows. Use the tweezers to position the gems.

Stay pretty!
