11 Disney Princess Makeup Looks to Try Out

Okay, so as much as we’d like to admit that we’ve grown out of our Disney-obsession...we haven’t. And it’s unlikely that we will anytime soon (sorry, not sorry). There's no better way to celebrate this admission than taking a look at 11 of the top Disney princess makeup looks, chosen by Cosmetify.

In the words of Elsa, yes, we probably should let it go, let it goooo, but with Disney churning out remakes left, right and centre, it's kinda hard to keep our childhood in the past.

If you love the remakes, then you're probably even more in love with Disney princesses today than you were 10, 20 years ago (and if you're anti-remake, well, then, your love for the originals has only been strengthened). From their dreamy dresses to their effortless elegance, timeless beauty and unwavering strength, what's not to love about Disney princesses?

So whether you're looking to put together an impressive Halloween makeup look or going to a fancy dress party, our rundown of the best Disney Princess makeup looks is sure to have the perfect solution for you.

1. Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast

LA-based and self-proclaimed 'artistically odd' MUA Kat Sketch shows us exactly how to channel our inner princess with this quick and easy tutorial. Being Belle is all about chiseling those cheekbones, opening up the eye and layering lips with a gorgeous lip gloss.

2. Moana

Moana is the adventurous, brave and daring princess that can quite literally conquer the impossible. Kick-start your week with her subtle and relaxed makeup look and rest assured that you'll be able to take on whatever obstacles are thrown your way.

3. Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog

With a can-do attitude, perseverance and one of the most well-earned, believable fairy tale love stories, what's not to love about Tiana? While she's in frog form for most of the movie, we can't help from gushing over her lily-pad inspired dress all these years later.

4. Princess Fiona from Shrek

Okay, so she might be more DreamWorks than Disney, but we couldn't leave her out of this one. A redhead to rival Merida, with a transformation love story to rival Tiana and Nadine's, we're head over heels for the fiery Fiona, damsel of distress.

She’s the dark horse – or shall we say, donk-eh – that we all know and love. Boasting the best princess glow up ever, her beauty look is perfect for the days you want a total transformation.

Don't forget to speckle some freckles onto your cheeks and nose by putting this concealer on a hairbrush like makeup artist Promise Phan does in this tutorial.

5. Cinderella

Leave the dishes and ditch the scrubbing (or in the modern-day case, give the Netflix marathons a break), as Cinderella is the character that inspires us to go from grubby to glam.

YouTube makeup guru Nikole Jackson does tutorials on everyone from Bridgerton characters to Pamela Anderson, and in this tutorial, she gives us a classic 1950s Cinderella look. If you loved Brandy's performance of this darling character in the 1997 movie (and who doesn't, with ah-mazing songs and a diverse and talented cast), then you might also want to check out Patrick Starr's tutorial on that particular look.

6. Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid

Let’s just say, Ariel was way ahead of her time. With the mermaid look being all the rage right now, she's a princess that's totally on-trend, and with the new movie finally on the horizon in 2023, we're more excited than ever to sport Ariel-inspired makeup.

Plus, the bundles of metallic shimmer, glitter and shine make this beauty look perfect for the festival season.

Here’s how Patrick Starr creates a Little Mermaid look for Riverdale actress Madelaine Petsch , who has already been blessed with copper tresses!

7. Cruella de Vil from The Hundred and One Dalmatians

Okay, so she’s more the terrifying villain but we can’t always be princesses, can we? Cruella de Vil is the definition of extra, so if you’re looking for a full glam look that’s a little dramatic, she’s your go-to gal.

Popular beauty YouTuber Jaclyn Hill shows us how to nail the Cruella de Vil makeup.

8. Queen Elsa from Frozen

Upgrading your makeup from princess to queen is made easy with Elsa. While she may be the calm, reserved and regal lady, her pretty pink eyeshadow and lip combo can make quite the statement.

And who better to show you how to achieve the ultimate Elsa look? Only the queen of YouTube herself, Nikkie Tutorials.

9. Princess Jasmine from Aladdin

Grab your eyeliners and gold-hued formulas as Princess Jasmine teaches us a thing or two about Arabian beauty.

Flaunting bronzed skin and a serious winged eyeliner, this princess effortlessly rocks full glam – check out BrittanyBearMakeup as she gives us the DL on how to achieve this look.

10. Snow White

Gentle, sweet and influential, Snow White is the classic princess that we know and love. Her iconic pale skin, blushed cheeks and red lip combo is one that is super easy to copy, making this one of the princess makeup looks you can achieve in no time and wear from day to night.

11. Merida

Last, but not least, Merida shows us how to keep things au natural with her barely-there beauty look (she's got better things to do, like shooting arrows and repairing her relationship with her mother!).

Nikole Jackson keeps the look young and fresh with plenty of blush, a dusting of freckles and peachy, sheer lip colour.
