YAAAAYYYY!!!!
This look was inspired by Ursula from the Little Mermaid.
This is a creative/dramatic look; I'd probably wear this for events like Halloween or any themed parties (if I ever get invited into one. #lol).
I remembered when I was a kid, I hated her and Maleficent so much. Coupled with their "bad looks", their wrath was so undeniable; I got scared into hating them!! #lol
These were the pictures I used as reference (all are screenshots taken from my phone).
And this was what I came up with:
Note: The exposure, temperature, tint and saturation were heavily adjusted on these pictures. I wanted to capture the dark, scary (almost dead-like) feel she resonated in the Disney cartoon. Pictures that weren't adjusted are posted at the end of this blog post. And.... I was wearing a tube dress; I'm wasn't naked. Lol.
Me when I just bought a new necklace.
Me when someone tries to steal it from me.
Me when I realised it's not "30% off", but "up to 30% off". #lol

Tutorial (or lack thereof. #lulz)
(This pic is unedited)
(1) After concealing the eyebrows, I went over them with the black pencil eyeliner. Then I set it with the matte black eyeshadow.
(2) After priming my eyes with MAC's Paint Pot, I tapped on Fringe with my flat stiff eyeshadow brush. I applied it all over my eyelid (slightly above the crease) and on my waterline. I blended any harsh lines with a blending brush.
(3) I used the same eyeshadow brush (after wiping it clean) and tapped on Matt MacDonald. I applied the "empty space" left in between Fringe and the eyebrows. I also applied this at the inner corners.
(4) Using a blending brush, I tapped on the same eyeshadow and sweeped it on the outer corners and my undereye area (This is to create the dark undereye area I remembered her having when I watched The Little Mermaid when I was a kid).
(5) Using the gel eyeliner and a gel eyeliner brush, I drew the eyeliner on my upper eyelid; going slightly past my outer corners. This is to re-create the almond-shaped eyes she has (or had #lol).
(6) I tightlined and drew my inner waterline with the black pencil eyeliner.
(7) I applied false eyelashes at the outer corners (I stacked two together). I also applied lower false eyelashes on the outer corners of my lower eyelid. I curled and applied mascara as usual.
(8) I applied blush all over my face.
For lips,
- I mixed the two colours together to achieve the red-orange lipstick she sports (in the picture).
These are the unedited pictures:
Hope this helps.
Till then.
Ida.
