British makeup artist Shonagh Scott has a knack for recreating looks from popular films and for this Halloween season the talented beauty guru transformed famous princess Disney characters into the undead. The looks cleverly merge the flawless beauty of the princesses with gruesome, bloody and zombified features.
These detailed makeup looks recreate the flawless beauty of the iconic cartoon princesses using careful contouring, bright contact colors, strongly accentuated brows and false eyelashes. Then prosthetics, blood and careful application is used to add a gruesome detail to the look. For example, Cinderella features a glass slipper coming out of her face, Snow White's bottom cheek is rotting away and Elsa has an icicle through her throat.
These would be a creative costume to test out if you wanted to be a Disney princess for Halloween but put a unique spin on it.
