The make-up industry has long-since clutched us in it's captivating claws, sparing no demographic an inherent desire or seeming necessity to purchase at least some bare minimums. It should come as no surprise then, logically, that even our most beloved cartoon characters and yes, Disney princesses, wear their fair share of lip stick and eye-shadow.

What is surprising, however, is seeing a before and after of our beloved princesses before and after their make-up remover, courtesy of artist and illustrator Loryn Brantz. No stranger to artistic endeavours, Brantz's simple but sweet project is suprisingly eye opening and honestly, we have no complaints. It's cool to see a simplified version of our iconic Disney princesses. And truthfully, they look really beautiful rocking their Au-natural appearance.

Snow White, before.

Snow White's name basically exists because of her snowy white glowing skin complexion and her red lips have been a staple for costumes and cosplay for as long as we've looked up to the gal who has credit for being Disney's first, full-length feature animated princess.

Snow White, after

Post make-up "make-over," Snow White's like a completely different person, really.

Princess Jasmine, before

Jasmine is primed and ready to make her major debut as a live-action princess this year but as an animated princess she began captivating hearts in the 90's and never stopped. Her eyeliner game is enviable.

Princess Jasmine, after

Brantz's revision of Princess Jasmine brings out an incredible amount of natural beauty. Imagine if she had made her big-screen debut looking this natural and fabulous?

Belle, before

Beauty and the Beast takes place in a small, provincial town somewhere in France and Belle was a classic, easy to relate to sort of bookworm girl. Her look was classic and simple and she was just as easy to look up to as she was to relate to.

Belle, after

Who knew how scandalous it would feel to look at Belle without eyelashes? I did not expect it.

Tiana

Princess and the Frog brought a new era of diversity into homes of Disney lovers globally. Tiana quickly became a favorite princess, probably before the movie even hit theaters but her story is compelling and incredibly enjoyable. She totally nails a simple, stunning make up look.

Tiana, after

Jaw-dropping right about now? Yes. Tiana could have worked this whole movie looking this stunning and no one would have thought twice.

Elsa, before

That's Queen Elsa, thank you very much. It's only fitting that an ice-queen would be so covered in glitter and sparkles, isn't it? Just like the ice and snow she magically controls, creates, and manipulates. Elsa is fire with all that ice.

Elsa, after

Queen Elsa minus the make up is plain but elegant. If anything, the icy, snow queen looks more relatable without all that make up!

Mulan, before

Okay, technically, Brantz had a lot of material to base her make-over off of since like, half the movie, Mulan is disguised as a male soldier and not wearing any make up. But what if Mulan didn't wear any make up when she was dressed as a girl, too?

Mulan, after

Mulan's make-up free appearance is simple and sweet. It may not be entirely surprising like the other princesses on the list, but it's really refreshing to see such a normal sense of self displayed in this attire, too.

Ariel the Little Mermaid, before

Living under water nearly her entire life, it's hard to imagine why illustrators would depict the mermaid princess with make up in the first place, but don't let that stop you from saying, "ooh," and "ahh," over the before and after that Brantz has in store for you!

Ariel the Little Mermaid, after

It's still Ariel but everything is so much more subtle and sweet.

Pocahontas, before

The Indigenous princess that brought us all the colors of the wind was always looking stunning in her Disney animated film.

Pocahontas, after

However, we're totally convinced that the digital make-over courtesy of Brantz is a lot more realistic and Pocahontas still looks elegant, stunning, and iconic.

Well, I'm convinced.

I want to look like a natural Disney princess from here on out.
