- adding light blue (Mehron) lowlights to the unicorn head and stars to give it more depth
- adding white highlights, dots and starbursts to make the design more cohesive
- ‘lipstick’ (Superstar/FAB 139 with orange glitter on top)
- and a very small blue rhinestone on the main twinkle star on the horn.
Basic unicorn face sketch for beginners
Unicorns! They’re EVERYWHERE.
While there are a lot of lovely unicorn makeup designs out there, many of them can be fairly difficult to achieve quickly on the job.
And as any good face painter knows, time is money. That’s exactly why I wanted to design one that had a simple shape.
So, without the flowing manes, but still girly and worthy of the ever — important “oooohs and aaaaaahs”… and of course, with lots of chunky glitter!
Step 1: Creating Your Unicorn Face Paint Base
I start by loading the curved side of a half circle sponge with a soft metallic white (PartyXplosion), metallic baby pink (Superstar/FAB) and a touch of neon orange (Kryolan).
Then I sponged a triangular base (like you do with a small butterfly) and tapped on orange glitter (Mama Clown’s Orange Burst) while the design is still damp.
The shape of the base on the side of the unicorn Halloween face paint is very important, because we are not adding a flowy mane to this design.
It has to follow the invisible line from nostril, to outer corner of the eye and should be a little bit rounded from the bottom (outer corner of the eye) to the top. The top is a bit higher here than on the opposite side.
After the base I load a round brush no. 4 with regular white (PartyXplosion) and add a unicorn head so that it fits the already existing ‘manes’, pulling it down towards the inner corner of the eye.
On the other side I copy the white corner of the inner eye and add the biggest star. With the star, I also keep that invisible line in mind additionally I give it a little bit of a curve to give a better flow.
On the cheeks I add a soft blush (Kryolan Youth Red).
Step 2: Add Color to Your Unicorn Makeup
Next, I add some pink (Global Magenta) texture with my favourite stencil (BAM 1035).
I paint the horn with neon orange and add the same beautiful orange glitter onto the horn.
I finish the stars in a rounded, moon-like shape and add chunky glitter (American Pixie Paint – True Colours) on the cheek below the unicorn and on the forehead, to simulate its unicorn magic flowing from the horn and going to the big stars.

Step 7
Now it’s time to draw the back legs of your magical unicorn. Your unicorn will use their set of 4 legs to spread their magic, so make sure you draw them in long enough to see behind the front legs, and with good hooves at the end of their legs. Make sure they look strong, as unicorns are strong enough to fight elephants if they ever disagree! Elephants are big creatures, aren’t they? And if you’re worried your unicorn’s legs don’t look right, make sure you keep looking at the picture above as you draw them in!
Step 8
This is the step where we add in the tail of the magical unicorn. Make sure it’s a big tail, because we’re going to add a lot of colour to it! When you do, try to make sure these colours match the fringe of your unicorn.
Step 9
Now’s your chance to add some final details to your unicorn. You can add lines to the fringe and the tail, to separate sections of their hair to make them easy to colour in the final step below. And if you’re wondering whether or not to add some wings into your drawing, you don’t need to here! A unicorn doesn’t fly, unlike its cousin the Pegasus!
