Don’t hesitate to add lots of contour and highlighter to define your features and make your face glow.

Dark Unicorn Makeup

Sometimes, you need to throw caution to the wind and try a risqué style that makes you feel confident and like the best version of yourself. We encourage you to listen to your gut and experiment as much as you like.

Dark unicorn makeup consists of bold elements like:

• Dark eyeshadow
• Uneven dark lipstick
• A colorful unicorn horn

Dead Unicorn Makeup

This is another unusual unicorn look that may not be the right fit for everyone but is guaranteed to turn heads. Think colorful eyelids and cheeks with light pink lipstick and bright hair dye. If you’re feeling up to it, add a unicorn horn to your forehead (with fake blood) to complete the look.

Adult Unicorn Makeup

A unicorn makeup look like this one is sleek, sophisticated, and powerful. Define your eyes with dark liner and mascara, and add rhinestones to your face coupled with a colorful unicorn wig, flowers, and the quintessential unicorn horn.

If you wish to look like you’ve stepped straight out of a fairytale, you’ve got to give this one a whirl.

Add rainbow hues to your face after you’re done with your basic routine with foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara.

Eye Shadow Unicorn Makeup

You’ll need to focus on creating a distinctive unicorn makeup look with purple eyeshadow and other colors like turquoise.

Add a highlighter to the tip of your nose and finish off your look with a matte lipstick.

Pink Unicorn Look

Don’t forget to apply a coat of pink lipstick paired with a pink wig to complete your unicorn makeup look.

Purple and blue are gorgeous shades that will likely remind you of beautiful unicorns prancing around a magical forest.

Create this look with lots of colorful eyeshadow, defined eyebrows, and glitter for a dreamy effect.
