What is a unicorn?
A unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn on its forehead. It appears in European art and heraldry as a symbol of purity and magic, and today it is a favorite pastel fantasy motif. A unicorn filter borrows the horn and rainbow colors for a portrait; it keeps you human.

What does the unicorn portrait look like?
The unicorn portrait is a whimsical fantasy photo: a glowing pearly spiral horn in the middle of the forehead, your own hair with soft pastel pink, lavender and mint streaks, tiny sparkles and small flowers, a dreamy smile, and a pastel meadow with rainbow light, floating sparkles and soft clouds. The face, skin tone and age stay yours.
