Dive Under the Sea With These 18 Ursula Makeup Ideas For Halloween

Don't be a poor, unfortunate soul this Halloween. Instead, channel Disney's most infamous underwater villain, Ursula. From the purple face to the white hair and the blue eyeshadow, this is one Halloween costume that everyone will instantly recognize the second you walk into the party.

For your Ursula makeup, you'll need your choice of purple face paint, blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and red lipstick. For Ursula's hair, you have two choices: a platinum-blond or white wig or temporary hair dye. You can also add extra touches like silver eyeshadow, rhinestones, colored contacts, and fake eyelashes.

Ursula's distinguishable look was inspired by Divine, an American drag-queen performer who left a lasting legacy in drag culture. From the high eyebrows to the white spiky hair down to the mole and facial expressions, Ursula's entire character design was based on the iconic drag queen.

Opt for a Halloween makeup look that's pretty and glam or go for the traditionally evil and grotesque vibe — the choice is yours. There's an entire Ursula spectrum represented in this roundup — keep scrolling for endless inspiration.
