This look takes an artist's hand and a good deal of patience, but it's well worth the extra effort. For a truly unicorn-inspired eye, combine sheer layers of bright yellow, teal, pale blue, lavender and pink — all topped with a dusting of shimmery silver.

We've all heard about highlighting the brow bone, but this chunky holographic silver glitter really takes things to the next level. It's definitely a more editorial look, and not for the faint of heart... but if you're brave enough to give it a go, you'll look like you walked right off the runway — the Giambattista Valli Haute Couture runway, to be exact.

You can keep things minimalist while still capturing a little unicorn makeup magic — and pastel pink and lilac eye shadow is the perfect way to do that. Either mix and match some of your favorite shadow singles, or find a unicorn-esque palette, like Dior's 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Femme Fleur, $62.

Iridescent eye shadow looks are great and all, but highlighter's definitely going to be a key factor in achieving an on-point shimmery unicorn look. The pink holographic ColourPop Pearlized Highlighter in Over the Moon, $8, is the perfect cherry on top of your otherworldly unicorn vibe.

Take your holographic strobe game to the next level with Kat Von D's Alchemist Holographic Palette, $32. It has four different transformative shades, each as ethereally pearlescent as the next. They can be layered onto lipsticks and eye shadows or worn alone, as shown here.
