Glam Unicorn Makeup Tutorial Step-by-Step Directions

1. Create a base with foundation and concealer. Beauty in the Shadows used Mehron's CreamBlend Stick in Eurasia Ivory and Eurasia Fair.

2. Using Hot Pink iNtense Pro Pressed Pigments, shade the perimeter of your face, the sides of nose, underneath the jawbone, and down the neck.

3. Contour underneath the cheekbones with iNtense Pro in Fire Island.

4. Use the Paradise Makeup AQ Pastel Palette for the lower lash line. Apply the Dark Pink to the inner corner of the eye and blend out to the middle of the bottom lash line. Use another brush and apply the Violet to the inner corner of the left eye. Then apply the Violet to the outer corner of the right eye and blend it into the Dark Pink. Finish by applying the Light Blue to the outer corner of the left eye and blend it into the Violet. The look should be a gradient of pink to purple on the right eye and a gradient of purple to blue on the left eye.

5. Apply the same colors to the lid. Using a fluffy brush, work the Light Blue from the inner corner of the right eye into the crease, stopping halfway across the lid. Next, apply the Violet onto the outer corner of the right eye and blend it into the Light Blue. Move to the left eye and blend the Dark Pink into the inner corner and crease, stopping in the middle of the lid. Then work the Light Blue into the outer corner and blend it into the Dark Pink.

6. Draw and fill in the brows with Paradise Makeup AQ in Dark Pink.
