Cosmetics company [Too Faced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/too-faced-sculpting-sticks) has a new line of makeup called 'Life's a Festival' that features [unicorn horn highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-highlighter-sticks). The eye-catching shape of the product resembles an actual unicorn horn, but no actual unicorns were hurt in the making of these cosmetics, because Too Faced boasts that it is a cruelty-free company.

These mystical twist-up stick highlighters come in two colors: iridescent blue with a pink flash called Unicorn Tears and warm pink with golden summers called Unicorn Dreams. Other options in the line include lipsticks, bronzer and a rainbow eye shadow palette.

Founder Jerrod Blandino shared details about the new line, noting: "We all love Unicorn Tears, now we got some friends here, we've got Fairy Tears, Angel Tears, and [Mermaid Tears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection). They all blossom and turn into a very unique color — only your own."

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Unicorn-inspired Cosmetics:** The popularity of Too Faced's unicorn horn highlighters demonstrates an opportunity for other cosmetic companies to develop unicorn-themed makeup products.
- **Cruelty-free Cosmetics:** Too Faced's emphasis on being a cruelty-free company suggests that cosmetic industries can differentiate themselves by creating and promoting animal-friendly makeup.
- **Fantasy-inspired Makeup Packaging:** The success of the 'Life's a Festival' collection highlights the potential for other cosmetic companies to market makeup products with unique, mystical packaging.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can explore producing creative and unique makeup products for consumers who have a penchant for fantasy-inspired makeup.
- **Animal Rights Activism:** The trend toward cruelty-free cosmetics reflects an opportunity for animal rights organizations and advocacy groups to garner more support for their cause.
- **Artificial Intelligence (AI):** Integrating AI technology in the cosmetic industry can streamline the production of makeup with unique and creative components, such as the unicorn horn highlighters.
