Disney Villains Halloween Tutorial: Cruella De Vil

“Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you no
evil thing will”




Her look technically could be more wearable but I wouldn’t recommend it for your average work day! I wanted to really emphasize her bloody red lips and severely angular face. Our features couldn’t be more different which is why contouring was a big part of this tutorial. I chose a slightly more gray-based brown to contour my cheeks and temples

If you’re going to be Cruella De Vil for Halloween, I’d recommend you go all out with a black clingy dress and find a faux fur coat (try a thrift store and you can use black pain or spray paint to create the spotted Dalmatian look). Top it off with some over the top jewelry and that fancy little cigarette and people will be sure to recognize you.

Disney Villains Halloween Tutorial: Mother Gothel

Recreating Mother Gothel was interesting. I wanted to something crazy and theatrical like I have in the past few weeks but Mother Gothel has a more wearable look since…well…she’s a human not a witch or lion. And even her costume is pretty, well, pretty. A simple red dress, not the robes and headdresses of Jafar. So I decided to take the plunge and really try to do something I’m not too comfortable with: recreating a beautiful eye look.




Crazy but her eyeshadow really is beautiful. It’s smokey yet natural and her eyes look so big! Completely different than mine. So I busted out my Sonia Kashuk matte neutrals and Jewel of an Eye palettes. I fell in love with this look almost immediately, it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now so it’s funny that I finally achieved it doing a Halloween tutorial!



Now of course the one day I need crazy curly hair, my hair is straight! I thought adding a hooded cloak would be a nice reference back to her sneaky stroll through the woods that revealed just how devious and manipulative Mother Gothel was. She’s the type of mother none of us want…and all of us fear!






Check out my YouTube tutorial here!

I know it's not as exciting as some of the past looks I've done but I really love this. It's such an
easy costume to put together, minimal work and cost and let's be honest, we all wait until the last
second to prepare for Halloween so this is perfect!

If you try this, or any, Mother Gothel looks let me know and link it down below. I'd love to see!

Disney Villains Halloween Tutorial: Jafar

Okay guys, this one was a challenge. I had no idea how I was going to put together 
Jafar's robes and turban and most importantly...his curly goatee!!! But I had to step up 
to the plate and at least try, right? I'm definitely not that girl that practices looks :/ I do it 
one time and that's it so I was relieved when my husband freaked out and said I 'straight 
up looked like a dude!' What a compliment, what do you guys think?


Not too bad if I do say so myself. Let's take a closer look...



It was really fun to dig through my closet and
pull together this look. I used a black skirt for
the turban and filled it with clothing to shape it.
The pendant is the closest thing I could find to
Jafar's jewels.

A beige tank top is hanging from my ears, that
was interesting, let me tell you! I stuck an upside
down hangar behind my neck and draped a long
black dress to resemble Jafar's regal robes.

Disney Villains Halloween Tutorial: The Evil Queen

The Evil Queen instilled a fear of fruit in all children...or was it just me? I never understood why she was so cruel to dear  sweet Now White. I mean, her best friends were dwarfs and bunnies, for crying out loud!!!

So here's my look, what do you think? Don't forget to check out Andee and Maria's blogs for more Makeup Monday Disney Villains looks!




Watch my YouTube tutorial here!


The really fun part was, of course, accessorizing. I jazzed it up with the face shield my husband uses for work. This was critical to really pull everything together. The crown is actually a gold wrap belt I've had forever. It pays to never throw anything away, right? ;) I also added a bronze jeweled necklace and wooden jewelry box (to hold the hearts I collect!) to complete the look.

Is this evil enough for you? Let me know what you think and 
share any requests you may have for me. This is so fun and I'd love
 to see what else I can try to create for you guys!

She was conniving, menacing, manipulating, devious...and stole poor Ariel's voice! Ursula was 
the epitome of a smooth criminal. Her evil laugh, bright red lips and sneaky eyes always made 
me uncomfortable as a child. Re-creating her look was fun and a bit of a challenge since her 
look  (other than purple tinted skin) is basically very simple and human like. But here goes! 
Check out Andee  and Maria's blogs for more creative and menacing looks!

Disney Villains Halloween Tutorial Series: Scar

"As far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength... I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." (The Lion King)

It's Disney Villain Monday and today I recreated Scar with Andee (http://winkforpinkblog.blogspot.com/) and Maria (http://www.agapelovedesigns.com) and hopefully a bunch of other bloggers.

Andee (http://winkforpinkblog.blogspot.com/) and Maria (http://www.agapelovedesigns.com) have dared beauty lovers to get creative and recreate the most sinister characters of all time in...The Disney Villain Series!  (insert evil laugh here) So excited to team up and to join Bebetsy's linky party with VMG206 for Brag About It Tuesday, I wanna brag about this look because it took forever! So make sure you check out her site, as well.

As little girls we all wanted to be princesses, right? But sometimes being bad is so fun and now we get to live vicariously through these evil personas, even if for just one day. The first task: Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. Her mere image petrified me as a child but now as an adult, I embrace this challenge!

So you tell me, how did I do? The green cast on my face didn't come out as well on pictures or video as I had hoped so I feel like I kinda look like a cross between BatGirl and Maleficent, haha! Not too shabby for my first stab at costume makeup.
Let me know what you think and post any pics or videos of looks you created!
