They may be mythical, but these days, unicorns are one of the biggest beauty inspirations around. It's all about iridescence right now, and the whole soft-focus, ethereal look is pretty much at an all-time high — plus, with all the exciting new types of highlighters and rainbow eye shadow palettes out there, conjuring that flawless unicorn makeup look has never been easier — or more acceptable as an adult human.

From guyliner to man buns to man braids, it's clear that men are finding inspiration from the ladies when it comes to their personal grooming habits.

Think: perfect curly haircuts, sunkissed highlights, tousled waves, the latest hairstyles the celebs are wearing ... basically, the stuff Pinterest dreams are made of.
