Saraswati is a talented makeup artist from Malaysia. Recently, she’s been gaining an incredible amount of followers, thanks to posting her creations on Instagram.
In these photos, she uses makeup to transform herself into popular Disney characters — but features her hijab prominently in most transformations to replicate hairstyles.
The “Queen of Luna” is a self-proclaimed comic geek, “supermom,” and “Disnerd.”
So far, she has shared over 300 looks on her Instagram profile, going beyond Disney personalities, transforming into characters in Marvel comics and films as well.
She’s done Alice from the 1951 film, Alice in Wonderland, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast, just to name a few.
Saraswati has also taken inspiration from more recent Disney hits.
She’s portrayed Queen Elsa from Frozen, as well as other characters from modern live-action reboots of Disney classics.
“I used to dress up as Alice almost every day when I was little,” Saraswati commented, saying that creating these remarkable transformations makes her think back to when she used to play dress-up.
One of the most striking looks in her collection is of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin.
While makeup artists usually portray the princess in her aqua-hued outfit, Saraswati chose to also portray Jasmine in her beautiful red costume.
The mother-of-two has over 70,000 followers on Instagram, and has undoubtedly stunned both artists and young girls all over the world.
For her Tinkerbell getup, she wore a gold stain shawl, which looped around an under-scarf, to create a noticeable bun.
Aside from transforming into princesses, Saraswati has also recreated the portraits of well-known story villains.
For example, she used heavy contouring to transform herself into Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians.
Another fan favorite was her look as the Queen of Hearts from her Alice in Wonderland series — which was actually more inspired by the character from the more recent Tim Burton film adaptation.
The look was made complete with striking blue eye shadow, a heart-shaped lip, and a “turban style hijab.”
She has also morphed into Jafar, the main antagonist in Aladdin.
Other male transformations outside of Disney include the Joker from Batman, Iron Man, Captain America, and the Green Lantern.
Fans love each and every one of her makeup looks. Most notably, they are happy that she has confidently featured her hijabs in her creations.
