Whether you’re a beginner or a face painting fan, we’ll walk you through how to face paint a unicorn in five easy steps. Get ready to create a rainbow unicorn masterpiece!
What You’ll Need:
-
unicorn split cake
-
Brush set (flat brush, small flat brush, and liner/detail brush)
-
Face paint colors: White, Pink, Yellow, Black
-
Optional: Forehead gem sticker or face gems
Step 1: Unicorn Mane
Load a wide flat brush with your rainbow split cake. Starting at the center of the forehead, paint a large “V” shape. Then, on both sides of the eyebrow, paint a “3” shape with the curve facing outward. These strokes form the magical rainbow hair of your unicorn! This part alone makes it the perfect rainbow unicorn face paint.
Step 2: Unicorn Ears
Use a small flat brush and white face paint to draw cute rounded triangle shapes above each eyebrow—these are your unicorn’s ears! Next, use pink paint to add a smaller triangle inside each white one. Just like that, your unicorn has ears!
Step 3: Draw the Unicorn Horn
Dip your liner brush in yellow paint and, above the center of the rainbow “V,” draw a unicorn horn pointing up from the forehead. Keep it tall for a magical look. This horn is key to your face paint unicorn design! Don't worry about the details of the corners, they will be dealt with later.
Step 4: Outline for Detail
Use your liner/detail brush with black face paint to outline the ears, horn, and mane. Add a few swirl or curl details to give your design a little extra flair. This step really makes your unicorn pop and gives it that cute cartoon charm.
Step 5: Add Some Sparkle
To finish off your design, place a gem sticker or face gem right at the center of the forehead—right beneath the unicorn horn. This simple addition lights up the whole face and gives your cute unicorn face paint some sparkle power!
Final Tips: This simple unicorn face paint is perfect for beginners and great for kids! It’s fun, fast, and full of color. Want to add your own twist? Try glitter, extra swirls, or even stars.
