Stay outta the sun, girl.

Skin white as snow, hair black as ebony, lips red as blood.


Think you can do it?

While we can’t help you talk to animals or find seven severely short men for you to hang out with, The QB Crew can at least help you look like Snow White. But proceed with caution, Snow White has her enemies. So before jumping into the exterior features, we will need to provide you with some basic rules to live by if you are going to become Snow White:

  1. Stay away from all evil-looking queens (be it female, drag, or otherwise).

  2. Avoid all huntsmen. Sure, most men will be after your heart when they see you, Snow White, but this particular huntsmen will want to actually cut your heart out. Beware!

  3. Do not eat any apples--mostly just apples being given out by hideous old ladies, but to be on the safe side, we will just rule out all apples.

Okay, back to your physical transformation…
Now, we all know Snow White is supposed to be fair—hence the name. So first, you’ll need to protect yourself from those harmful UV rays. Snow White is pale—like snow...and white. So make sure that your skin tone appears similarly. Always double up on sunblock!

Also, one of Snow White’s trademark features is her hair. While skin tone and dress are important distinctions when transforming yourself into this beautiful princess, the greatest distinguishing feature is going to be your hair. It must be jet black and cut to just below the ears while softly curling upwards. In addition, your hair needs to be silky and smooth—so make sure you are taking the proper steps to keeping your hair healthy.

And last, but not least, the lips. The Snow White recipe calls for lips red as blood (but do not use actual blood, people. She is a princess, not a vampire). Try using a fiery red colored lipstick or lip gloss. The juxtaposition of your bright red lips against your pale skin will help you turn heads and stand out in the crowd.

As for clothing, our suggestion is vibrant, colorful dresses. But if you don’t want to go all out with a princess gown, Snow White-inspired clothing will also do. Try pairing a bright yellow skirt with a royal blue top (the puffier the sleeves, the better). Top it all off by placing a cherry red bow in your hair and you’ve done it. You have become Snow White.

While unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your mirror on the wall will tell you that you’re the fairest of them all, we do hope that you’ll take our advice and let your inner princess shine!
