Malaysian makeup artist Saraswati has used her immense beauty skills to transform herself into 11 iconic [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) characters. Unlike most Disney beauty transformations, that include wigs or costumes, Sarawati performs each transformation while wearing a hijab.

While doing your own hair or wearing a wig can be a fun part of dressing up, Saraswati fashions her hijab to look like each Disney character's recognizable tresses. The Malaysian makeup artist then uploads the photos to her beauty-heavy [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-gsnk) account which has gained a lot of followers since her Disney-themed looks were shared.

Accepting submissions and suggestions from her loyal followers, Saraswati has transformed herself into such characters as Alice from Wonderland, Ariel, Cruella DeVille, Mulan, Tinkerbell and more.
