This Halloween, I'm taking the loveliest of the Disney princesses and turning them into disease-ridden, flesh-eating, chase-you-down-the-street-with-a-pickaxe zombies. Grab your makeup brushes and let's do this thing.

Poisoned Snow White
Who better to start with than Snow White? She's the fairest princess of all, but not after she takes a bite from her evil stepmother's poisonous apple. Here's how to get the look.
Supplies:
- Light foundation
- Liquid black eyeliner
- Brow liner
- False lashes
- Red lipstick
- Red pencil eyeliner
- Gray and green eyeshadows
- Green and purple pencil liners
- Red hair bow
Directions:
Step 1: Apply a foundation that is three shades lighter than your natural skin tone to your entire face for a porcelain look. Then, apply a black winged liner, brows, lashes and a red lip.
Step 2: Apply a red liner to the water line, and under the eye.
Step 3: Apply a gray shadow under the eye (bag area) and bring up to the inner bridge of the nose.
Step 4: Hollow out cheekbones and build a gray shadow on the corner of the mouth. Then, use a green shadow and lightly blend around the corner of the mouth.
Step 5: Use a thin detail brush and lightly mimic veins. Alternate greens and purples for a more realistic look.
And you're done! Top it off with white gloves, a red hair bow and an apple, of course. Poison not advised.

Frostbitten Elsa
This one is obvious, right? Elsa of Arendelle spends a little too much time in the snow. Boom, frostbite.
Supplies:
- Light foundation
- Liquid black eyeliner
- Purple eyeshadow
- Purple or pink lipstick
- False lashes
- Liquid latex (you can find this at Halloween or makeup stores)
- Black and red eyeshadows
- Gray-blue eyeshadow
- Glitter
Directions:
Step 1: Apply a pale foundation to the skin.
Step 2: Use a purple eyeshadow on the lid and blend out slightly past the crease, apply a winged eyeliner and pink or purple lipstick.
Step 3: Apply liquid latex to the nose, cheeks and temples.
Step 4: Allow it to dry slightly and then pinch it to create holes showing the skin. Use your best judgement to mimic blistered, flaky skin.
Step 5: Apply black and red shadow to the skin to make it look irritated.
Step 6: Contour the skin in a gray-blue eyeshadow and apply glitter all over. Finish it off with a long blonde braid and some awesome white-tipped lashes.

Infected Tiana
Poor Princess Tiana kissed the wrong frog. Hey, we've all been there. Here's how to create the zombie Tiana look for Halloween.
Supplies:
- Liquid latex (You can find this at Halloween stores and many makeup stores)
- Cottonballs
- Foundation (lighter than your normal foundation)
- Gold eyeshadow
- Matte brown eyeshadow
- Eyeshadow brush
- Pinkish-red eyeshadow
- Red lipstick
- Beauty wedge or makeup sponge
- Green eyeshadow
- Yellow eyeshadow
- Petroleum jelly
Directions:
Step 1: Wash your face and pat dry with a towel. Decide where you'd like to apply warts.
Step 2: Dip a cottonball into your latex and allow it to dry slightly. Then carefully apply it to the places you want to look infected.
Step 3: Apply a foundation that's a few shades lighter than you would normally use. Do not blend it perfectly. It looks best if left blotchy.
Step 4: While the warts are drying work on the eyes, red lip and brows. Apply a gold shadow to the lid, and a darker matte brown to the crease extending to the inner bridge of the nose to hollow out the eyes. Apply a pinkish-red shadow under the eyes.
Step 5: Pinch the latex to create the look of an open blister. Then shade the edges of the wart with eyeshadow to give it dimension and apply red shadow in the center.
Step 6: Take a beauty wedge and pinch out holes in the top to create a sponge-like appearance, then stipple different colors such as light green, dark green and yellow.
Step 7: Apply petroleum jelly to the top of the eyes, lower lids and warts.
