Loryn Brantz from Buzzfeed recently released a series of illustrations that depict the iconic Disney villains without makeup. While the Disney princes and princesses have undergone many different changes over the years, few designers have been willing to take on the Disney villains. This series reveals what the iconic characters would look like without their intimidating eyeliner and perfectly arched brows.
Brantz's series reveals what different Disney villains would look like without makeup to hide their sinister faces. The series covers a number of different villains, including evil animals such as Scar. For the most part, the villains looks far more pleasant without their dramatic features. However, certain characters such as Cruella de Vil and Jafar, somehow manage to look just as sinister without a stitch of makeup.
