This month’s Disney-villain-inspired makeup tutorial is the result of a reader request. You might remember that last Halloween, I made a tutorial showing you how to recreate Ursula the Sea Witch’s makeup. Well, one of you wrote to me and asked if I could do a tutorial for a look based on Vanessa from The Little Mermaid.
In case you don’t remember the movie (or if you’ve never seen it), Vanessa is Ursula’s alter ego. When Ursula takes on human form in order to trick Prince Eric into marrying her, Vanessa is her alias.
It’s quite funny because I’d never intended to include Vanessa in this series. But once I got that request, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I would translate her look into everyday life. I kept her glossy pink lips and defined brows. I also added contour and highlights to mimic her flawless, youthful visage.
Of all the Disney villain looks I’ve done so far, this one is definitely the most wearable.
I wanted this look to be a real contrast from Ursula’s dramatic diva makeup. I tried to make it as light and pretty as possible, with a hint of femme fatale charm.
To learn how to recreate the look, check out the video.
I love it!!! And kittie in the background looks like she’s really enjoying her lovely window spot in her new place!!!
Haha! Y’know what, I never even noticed that Jelly was there until you pointed her out. She’s so sneaky!
I noticed right when she jumped up on her cat tree. And she was grooming herself… so adorable! She video bombed you!!! Lol
What a little sneak!
Wait this is Vanessa! xD The pink lippies and blush made me think it was a toned down version of Ursula.. How come I don’t know Vanessa? Is she new?
Vanessa is a character in the first Little Mermaid movie. She’s Ursula’s human form, when Ursula masquerades as a human to make Prince Eric fall in love with her. Here’s a link to the Disney Wiki page about her.
I actually did a tutorial for Ursula’s makeup last halloween.
Ahh I see, thinking I need to watch the movie again. Been years!
OMG Ursula! ❤ I have a mug with her on it! I really appreciate how you darkened up the brows, I feel that brings intant femme fatale.
*instant! whops!
