Disney Princess Inspired Makeup Looks

I delved deep into my makeup collection and created four looks that take inspiration from some of my most beloved Disney Princesses: Belle, Rapunzel, Tiana and Ariel. 
I hope that this will be part of a series where I create makeup looks based on different franchises so if you have any recommendations, bring 'em my way!

Disclaimer: Arrghhh, I'm still terrible at capturing my makeup on camera so these looks are no way near as beautiful and vibrant in the following images as they are in real life, so please recreate these to see how utterly gorgeous they are!!! 

Oh and I've got some really recommendable products up in these looks, I'm still excited about some of these even if I bought them months ago! If you see (!) it means I got some super love for that product.

Right, let's get into this!

Belle
Dang, Belle draws for first place as my favourite Princess of all time, but I was struck by her yellow dress, which is obviously a signature feature of her design. I wanted her makeup look to me more classy and soft (and I didn't think yellow would work well for this) so I went for golds and bronzes instead! 



 I wanted Belle's makeup look to be relatively simple and definitely wearable. I applied the eyeshadows lightly but you could apply more liberally for a more dramatic, smouldering look. 

Belle has flawless skin (... like all Disney Princesses really) so I focused on getting a really nice base while still looking radiant and healthy, and also gave her a deep purple blush. 



The eye look is so easy but absolutely beautiful, I drew inspiration from her ball gown for the eyes and wanted it to be soft, delicate and golden. The lips are red like the rose in the west wing, but as I mentioned earlier, I focused on getting this look very soft so I made sure the red wasn't too deep or bright. This lip is perfect for those wanting to try bright coloured lips because it is so wearable. 




Products used: 







Base: Benefit Porefessional Primer
Wilko's Kiss Mattifying Primer 
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Maybelline Blush in Flash Plum (!)
Bourjois Highlighter
NYC Cheek Glow in Peach Glow (!)
and for eyebrows I used Collections Brown Eyeliner cuz, dang, her eyebrows are dark! 


Eyes: Elf Golden Eyeshadow (!)
Elf Caffeinated Eyeshadow (!)

Rimmel London Nude Eyeliner 
Collections Brown Eyeliner

Lips: Revlon Colorstay Lipstick in Finale (!)
Elf Minty Lipgloss in Foxy (I think, the name rubbed off!) 




I know that this look is very minimal and looking at it, you don't really think Belle but it's a natural, wearable homage to the princess. 

Next up: 

Rapunzel 

This girl is also my favourite Disney Princess, I absolutely love her and Tangled is my top Disney film so I was very excited to create this look! 



 Grrrr, one day I will be able to show you guys just how beautiful makeup looks, this was so beautiful in real life so it's a real shame that I'm terrible at photography!

I love the colour of Rapunzel's dress so I really wanted to capture that in this look, the other feature I wanted to adapt for this makeup look was the sun from Corona's flag, this can be seen in the lower lashes! 

I did a little half n' half deal with this look, my base makeup mimics Rapunzel's actual face whereas the eyes and lips are inspired by aspects of the film. 
Therefore, I added little freckles because I'm in love with Rapunzel's, if you want to fake freckles, just get an eyebrow pencil and dot around your nose and upper cheeks (or wherever really, but freckles usually show up in the centre of the face).

I love this look, it really complimented the green in my eyes so definitely give this purple halo eyeshadow look a go if you got them emerald, foresty eyes going on (but of course, this would look beautiful on all you guys!)

Third on the list is:

Tiana
Eeekk, Tiana is a brilliant princess and the protagonist of a fantastic film, seriously go watch Princess and the Frog right now if you haven't seen it yet! Also, green is my favourite colour so this was super fun! 


Again, I am eternally frustrated at how not amazing this look on camera but jeez, if you give this a go on your own face, you'll get the full effect!! 

Although it's super hard to see hear in these pictures, the eyeshadow look is kind of like a halo effect but where I focused a super pale yellow in the centre of my lid and blended the green from the outer corners, in, making the colour darker as it gets further away from the centre of my lid. This creates an amazing effect where it looks like the eyeshadow is just a super shiny green, the best example I can think of is ahitsrosa's look over on YouTube  . Just imagine that in green and that's what this looks like in person. It's such a fun look and I would totally recommend you give it a go, its just a lot of blending but it looks so cool! 

I took inspiration from Tiana's human wedding dress because, well, it's just downright amazing isn't it!

I'm still not very happy with how the pictures came out so I'm really sorry about that, but wow, the products I used for this look are wonderful and the lipstick is wonderful! 






Finally we got ourselves:

Ariel

Ahhhh, wow, this look is not very wearable if you're shy with your makeup, I'll say that for sure. But yes! I love this makeup so much, I wouldn't wear it out (that's totally up to you and your personal comfort zones).



Wowee! Do you not just look at this an think Ariel, because I do... maybe that's because I created it?
Either way, this is stunning and so unique and I had so much fun playing with colour. 

Yes, I put red in my eyebrows, you should try it some time, just fill in your eyebrows like usual and then lightly brush in any eyeshadow you like until you get the desired amount of colour. I used a brown based red for this so that it looked more 'natural...?' 

The purple and green worked really well together and I should've gotten a close up of the eyes because the wing ... or fin? was detailed and wicked! I used some white eyeliner on the bottom edge of the wing to add dimension. 

Also, coloured eyelashes again! I loved playing with different coloured mascaras and what-not of this post!

Base: Bourjois Happy Light Illuminating Primer

This looks calls for some major packing and blending so be prepared to spend a good long time getting all that eyeshadow looking flawless!









Well, I've already said that I love this look and I honestly wish I could've gone more dramatic with them all but I really wanted to give you looks you could wear in your day to day life, secretly knowing that you're Tiana or Belle, y'know. 

In this post, I noted my most favourite products using (!) but I just wanted to say that even if a product doesn't have it, they're still amazing (minus the Xplode green eyeshadow, seriously don't bother with this it has so little pigment) but the MUA eyeshadows for example, I don't think I pointed these out but I absolutely adore these eyeshadows, it is my goal to own them all because they're only £1 each and they're surprisingly good quality and the colours are gorgeous! 

Well, that's it then, the first post in the Inspired By series. I hope to do so many more like Avengers, Harry Potter, My Little Pony, anything like that so if you have any you'd like to see (hopefully the quality of the looks and photographs will be better) then just comment below!!! 

Thanks for reading, have a good week and I shall see you next Wednesday with my August favourites!!! Make sure to follow me on Bloglovin' so you don't miss any of my posts!
