Celebrate National Unicorn Day with these sparkling makeup gems

Who doesn't love unicorns? The mystical creature - although entirely fictional - is the sparkliest in fairy-tale land and we can't help but get excited over them. And now, thanks to a day dedicated to unicorns, the glittery frothiness is here to stay. If you love iridescence, glitter and of course, rainbows, this trend is for you. A whole host of brands have launched unicorn-inspired beauty in honour of the unicorn and we have rounded up a selection of dreamy products that will instantly inspire you to shake up your makeup bag and give it a rainbow revamp.

Too Faced have risen to the occasion spectacularly and has launched plenty of dazzling products - our favourite has to be the Rainbow Strobe Highlighter. With its pigmented powder, this all over highlighter creates a shimmering effect which is infused with rose quartz. The pastel compact is one of the prettiest we have ever seen and it opens up to reveal a rainbow of powders. Swirl them together with your brush for an all over glow, or use each shade individually for a subtle gleam.
