With the introduction of The Original Unicorn Brushes, Unicorn Lashes first introduced consumers to makeup applicators inspired by mythical creatures. The beauty brand is now looking to a mythical creature of the sea for its newest collection, which will take cues from colorful mermaid tails for the handles of the Mermaid Brushes.
The original concept art for the mythical makeup brushes was recently shared to Instagram, alongside notes that the set will be developed and packaged in a shell-shaped carrying and storage case.
As well as seeking out cosmetic holographic or pearlescent products that will give them an otherworldly glow, many consumers are now excitedly purchasing novelty makeup applicators shaped like everything from pointed unicorn horns to wizard wands and rose bouquets.
