I grew up on a steady diet of "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast" played on repeat. (I even had my first crush on the Beast, which I won't even try to psychologically unpack here.) Chances are you have a similar Disney-movie-watching experience, and I'm willing to bet you had a favorite Disney princess because she just got you. Maybe you pretended to be on a magic carpet like Jasmine, or decided to take scissors to your hair like Mulan (true story).
Well, guess what? Your favorite Disney princess can help you choose your most empowering lipstick color. Stay with me here. "Color has certain inherent meanings that can't always be expressed with words," says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. When you wear a color that complements your personality, it tells people exactly whom they're dealing with. So, whether you're as brave as Merida or as feisty as Ariel, there's a lipstick shade you should swipe on to bring out your best attributes.

If you read everything you can get your hands on and find yourself daydreaming about adventures, you're a Belle. She's charming, romantic and caring. Plus, she's perceptive, despite the fact she's always got her nose stuck in a book.
Eiseman recommends a soft pink lipstick to complement these traits. "Pink people are interested in the world around them and 'read' other people well," she says. (Plus, just think of how amazing a pink lipstick would look with that ball gown.)

If people describe you as caring and compassionate (and/or have seen you conversing with mice), you're a Cinderella.
"Cinderella's kind, compassionate demeanor reveals a determined spirit that continually shines through despite her challenges and obstacles," say the experts at ColorPsychology.org. A classic scarlet matte lipstick, which reflects your bright spirit, is perfect for all you glass slipper-wearers.
