We have to confess something to you. We just can't let it go — we're still obsessed with Frozen, just like many of our readers!

We found the 15 best beauty DIYs on YouTube so you, too, can turn into an ice queen (from braided head to painted toe!). Just be warned . . . you'll want to listen to the Frozen soundtrack [3] on repeat once you're done watching all these tutorials.

This tutorial uses volumizing powder, teasing, hair extensions, and padding to get an ultrathick, luxurious braid like Elsa's. It's ideal for beginners because each step of the french braid is explained.
SCSNails
Truly talented artists will be excited to break out their acrylic paints for this tutorial! Instead of doodling directly on the nail, the creator paints onto a plastic bag, then peels the characters off using a tweezer once the pigment has dried. It's just like making your own nail stickers!
Promise Tamang Phan
Promise is known for her spot-on Disney transformation videos [4]. In her Elsa tutorial, she mutes her tan complexion with ultralight foundation, minimizes her lips with makeup, and making her eyes look enormous with liner tricks.
Lilith Moon
Lilith Moon's DIY [5] is positively mesmerizing. This tutorial features three different dreamy looks that will suit any occasion that calls for a princess-worthy style.
Luxy Hair
The key to making this braid look more casual and relaxed is a rattail comb — use the end to loosen up the plait.
Disney Style
Few tutorials demonstrate how to braid Elsa's coronation updo! As shown by CuteGirlsHairstyles, weaving a blue ribbon into the plaited bun is how to make the style look really authentic.
Steamfaerie
In addition to teaching her viewers how to contour with two different shades of blush, Steamfaerie demonstrates how to re-create Elsa's windblown flush by adding blush to the tip of her nose.
Cute Polish
Using temporary tattoos is an easy way to create custom nail art [6]. Your friends will be dazzled when they see the results of this tutorial!

Disney Inspirations — Abbey
Abbey is the founder of the popular Disney Inspirations Tumblr [7], so you know she's serious about perfectly copying Elsa's braid. She adds spritzes of glitter hair spray for a magical touch.
MyPaleSkin
Em of MyPaleSkin [8] made this video in a "get ready with me" style, imagining how Elsa would do her own hair and makeup.
Disney Style
If you feel frustrated by the number of tutorials that use hair extensions, watch this DIY [9] — it proves that you can have a pretty plait like Elsa using your natural hair.
GlitterGirlC
Instead of going for an exact re-creation of Elsa's eye makeup, this video goes for a more artistic interpretation with a rhinestone snowflake and ombré blue shadow.

NikkieTutorials' videos [10] never disappoint! In this tutorial, she artfully blends 10 eye shadows to get Elsa's signature fuchsia smoky eye.
