The DIY Unicorn Makeup Brush Tutorial You've Been Waiting For

In early November, Unicorn Lashes blew up Instagram by launching pastel brushes inspired by unicorn horns. The set sold out in less than 12 hours—twice. Luckily, a DIY unicorn makeup brush tutorial now exists on YouTube, and it will fill the horn-shaped void in your unicorn-loving heart. User Kats Meyow created her own version of the sold-out unicorn brushes with the help of some clay, glitter, and inexpensive brushes. The at-home version may not be identical to Unicorn Lashes', but they are another fun way to add some more magical unicorn vibes to your beauty routine. (TBH you can never have too much, anyway.) Even if you're not crafty, the video is incredibly soothing to watch. I want Kats Meyow to narrate my life and turn all of my makeup brushes into unicorn horns.

Here's what Unicorn Lashes's sold-out set looks like—just in case they haven't come up on your Instagram feed. In Kats Meyow's YouTube caption, she shared her love for the OG brushes: "This DIY was inspired by the beautiful unicorn makeup brush set by the UK based company, Unicorn Lashes. While making your own is fun, their brushes are 10,000 times better than mine AND they come with a holo case!"

You can transform brushes you already have into something more magical. Or you can buy some from E.L.F. or the under-$3 pink-tipped white Wet n Wild brushes like Kats Meyow did. First, she tapes off the bristles, so they won't get damaged in the crafting process. Then, she gets to sculpting. Trust me when I say, creating the unicorn-horn shape is easier than you think. After they dry, Kats Meyow paints on Mod Podge, then black and holographic-white paints. To give the brushes some sparkle, she brushes on glittery nail polish. You can also paint the horns with your favorite holographic nail polish to give them the same iridescent effect as the real things. She finished off the unicorn-inspired brushes with a sprinkle of star-shaped glitter and a protective layer of Mod Podge.
