![]() ![]() And rather than using black mascara on my eyelashes, I used the silver eyeshadow and gently brushed it onto the tips of my lashes. Physician’s Formula’s eyeliner pen was used to trace along the lashes of my upper lid, and I dusted the outer corner of my lower lid with Origin’s black eyeshadow for a smokey-eyes effect. I brushed on just enough to cover the upper lid, then kept the brush to the side for later use. For the eyeshadow, I used Mehron’s Metallic Powder in silver, mixing it with their Mixing Liquid for a long lasting metallic effect. Using Origin’s Fill in the Blanks Eyebrow enhancer, I both darkened and elongated my eyebrows. I added Origin’s Silk Screen Refining Powder in Bisque to make my skin appear velvety and soft. To begin, I used Mehron’s Celebré Pro HD Make-Up Light 1 as a foundation to cover my freckles, blending it into my skin thoroughly for an even look. For this look, I wanted a flawless appearance with a soft, inviting glow. Makeup is a big part of each of my creations, as I believe that makeup can either make or break a costume. The fabric was cut so that the fur would hang over the bands and fall loosely around my hands. And since the unicorn in The Last Unicorn is drawn with feathers on her fetlocks, I added bands of white faux fur fabric around my wrists. ![]() The horn made it clear that I was more than just a white elven maiden, but rather a mysterious unicorn in disguise. A white Unicorn Horn Circlet from Firefly Path was added under the wig, with the horn extending from my forehead just in front of the hairline. For the hair, I purchased a Pure White Arwen Wig from Arda-Wigs and styled it so that the length of the wig fell behind me in loose curls, with small strands hanging in front of the Large Anime Elf Ears to hide the seams. ![]() I cut the fabric a little longer in back to create a short train that flowed behind me, giving a graceful appearance to my steps. It was a basic pattern, but I wanted to keep it simple to express the elegance of the unicorn. I purchased three yards of white velvet fabric from JoAnn Fabrics and a Simplicity pattern for a single strap, floor length dress. Your eyes almost want to believe that what they’re seeing is real! And if you let your mind wander, you just might.To achieve the humanoid unicorn appearance, I decided to exchange the classic light purple dress for a more sleek white one. Aradani elf ears take any fantasy costume a step further, giving them a touchable, yet mysterious air. Which is exactly why I was set on including a pair in my unicorn look. ![]() And they look so natural! It’s shocking how realistic they appear. With a dab of spirit gum, they’ll stay secure all day, no matter what conditions you’re in. And unlike many other prosthetics, these ears are simple to apply. Not to mention the Halfling Ears I have on hand for when I finish my Peregrin Took cosplay! I simply cannot have enough of these ears. In the past, I’ve used Long Elf Ears for my Drow, Twilight Elf Ears for my night elf, High Elf Ears for a fairy, and Large Anime Elf Ears for a basic woodland elf. It gave me a great excuse to use my Long Anime Elf Ears, and gave me more creative freedom with the costume as a whole.Many of my favorite costumes have sported elf ears from Aradani. So rather than recreating the human form of Lady Amalthea that was portrayed in the movie, I decided to design a look that was closer to a humanoid version of the actual unicorn. But as any fan of the movie or book would know, Lady Amalthea was magically transformed to appear completely human, as to protect her from the Red Bull. Having previously worked with multiple pairs of elf ears from Aradani, I knew before I even began that I wanted to incorporate a pair into the unicorn costume. Greetings! I’m Lopti from Some Like It Blue, and today I’d like to tell you about my new Unicorn costume that features a pair of Long Anime Elf Ears from Aradani Studios! This cosplay is loosely based on Lady Amalthea from The Last Unicorn, but with my own personal twist added in. ![]()
