Makeup By @mulan_mtz
@mulan_mtz is channelling Disney’s original look for Ursula with this amazing Ursula makeup. Did you know Disney changed the look of their original Ursula to make her less scary and decided to base her look on drag artist, Divine? Mulan has created bold eye makeup paired with White Halloween Coloured Contacts. In the movie, Ursula has small black pupils and large white sclera so a pair of white lenses is the ideal way to create this illusion.
Makeup By @sfx_by_bry
@sfx_by_bry has copied every detail, from the iconic Ursula eye makeup to her wild white hair. She remains one of the most popular Disney villains thanks to her unique look and amazing songs. In this design, Bry has opted for the Silver Mirror Coloured Contact Lenses to complete her Disney makeup.
Makeup By @fx_freak
@fx_freak’s epic Ursula makeup heavily features her tentacles. This clever touch is perfect if you aren’t able to make a full Ursula costume.

Ariel Cosplay Makeup Ideas
While Ursula certainly steals the show in the 1989 Little Mermaid movie, talk has turned to the new look of Ariel in the 2023 remake. This welcome change has caused plenty of discussion. Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid is described as beautiful but many details of her appearance are never disclosed. Besides her delicate skin, sea blue eyes, and fish tail her hair colour and other details are not mentioned. Disney decided to give Ariel (a name that is not used in the book) vibrant red hair to differentiate her from her sisters and to complement the colours in the Ariel Disney costume.
Makeup By @courtneyleighhollins
The Disney animators have an eye for colour; pairing bright red, green, and rich purple together to create the instantly recognisable Ariel costume. In this makeup look @courtneyleighhollins further accentuates the look of Ariel by wearing the Green Hulk Coloured Contact Lenses.
Makeup By @r.m.mua
True to the book and the Disney adaptation, @r.m.mua has opted for blue eyes with the Aqua Blue Ice Walker Lenses. However, she reimagines the story with a gory SFX design in the second picture. Her Ariel makeup features vibrant red lips and soft blue eyeshadow; the perfect combination of bold colours for this Disney Princess.

Makeup By @courteneydunn_mua
@courteneydunn_mua dedicated her time to creating this epic Eric and Ariel makeup. The iconic ‘Kiss The Girl’ scene from the 1989 film is blended with an Ursula look in this perfect homage to the movie that shows Ursula watching over the blossoming couple. This look features Silver Mirror Coloured Contact Lenses.
Makeup By @Mulan_mtz
Where would Ariel be without her best friend, Flounder? While the new slimmed-down realistic fishy version of Flounder in the 2023 movie is open for discussion, the yellow and blue striped Flounder in the original Disney movie is much loved. In this adorable flounder body paint, @mulan_mtz is also in a Little Mermaid costume with a red wig and Aqua Blue Ice Walker Coloured Contact Lenses. These inseparable BFFs belong together in this sweet body paint design.
Whether your Little Mermaid cosplay includes a full body paint or a DIY outfit, making sure you have got the makeup and eye colour of your characters will complete your look, especially for the iconic style of the sea witch, Ursula. The Little Mermaid is a great idea for a group cosplay with so many amazing characters to choose from including Ariel, Ursula, Eric, Flounder, Sebastian, King Triton, and Scuttle.
