This man's Disney princess cosplay is almost too magical to behold
Being a princess is a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Richard Schaefer, a 22-year-old makeup artist and fashion design student from California, uses his many talents to transform himself into beloved Disney characters, especially the kind-hearted and beautiful princesses we all grew up with.
On his Instagram account, TheOfficialAriel, Schaefer posts photos of his stunning make-up transformations from several Disney movies, including The Little Mermaid and Frozen, complete with detailed costumes.

Schaefer also cosplays as villains and Disney princes, but you can tell his heart lies with the Disney heroines. "Ariel is kinda my life," he told The Daily Mail.
"I enjoy being in character because I get to be a different person for a while, which is fun," Schaefer said.
