Tarte calls its limited-edition highlighter ($30) "magical highlighter inspired by mystical elements and make believe." Though this is not my usual aesthetic, these "Tarte unicorns" just might be on to something.
This unicorn-inspired product features a shimmering pastel rainbow of four shades that can be used to stripe a rainbow on your face if that's the look you're going for. However, if a rainbow across the face is not your thing, you can swirl your brush across all four shades to blend them together, which will create a light iridescence that is beautiful perfection to highlight features.
I am all for glowing and sparkling like a beautiful unicorn with a rainbow across her face, but sometimes the constraints of polite society get in the way. A little bit of shimmer can go a long way, and we don't need an entire bottle of glitter or a full rainbow across our cheeks to get our point across. It's fun to play with different trends in makeup, but we might find that in the end we don't really want to be unicorns after all. In fact, we are better off not being mythical make-believe creatures, but instead strong, smart, real women living in the real world, and we don't want too much glitter to get in the way of that very important fact.
