A little girl was left looking "like a beetroot" after trying to look like her favourite Disney character.
Young Isla Forrester took her chance while her mum Corrinne Forrester, 32, assumed she was fast asleep.
After rooting through Corrinne's makeup box, the Disney mad four-year-old got hold of a tube of bright red Revolution lipstick, and smeared it all over her face with it before falling asleep.
Adorable footage shows a sleepy-looking Isla being carried into the living room by dad Curtis Forrester, 28, with her face red "like a beetroot".
While Isla's parents couldn't help but laugh, the tot burst into tears after seeing herself the mirror, quickly realising that she hadn't quite got the look she was going for.

Mum Corrinne, from Clacton-on-sea, Essex, desperately scrubbed at her face with a flannel to try and remove some of the redness, which clung stubbornly to her eyebrows and hairline until the following day.
After her parents asked her exactly what she'd been trying to do, Isla revealed that she had indeed been trying to imitate Turning Red character Mei Lee, a girl who discovers that she can transform into a red panda.
Corrinne, said: "I found it so funny straight away. Her face was completely red. When we questioned her about it she just said she wanted to be the panda from Turning Red. She's the biggest Disney fan and we watch that film every day.
"It was very quiet, so we thought she'd been playing with her toys and crashed out, then Curtis came upstairs to check on her and he found her in our bed with a massive beetroot face.
"It wasn't just a 'wipe over and it's done with'. She went through the whole stick. She did a thorough job and that's Isla. All or nothing.
"When she was carried down she was still a bit daydreamy. She even says she doesn't want mummy to see it, but it was me recording."
She continued: "When she sees herself in the mirror her face drops like she doesn't know what she'd done. I don't know what goes on in her mind.
"She didn't want anyone to talk to her. She told us to stop laughing and to go away. I can't be angry with her. I just started thinking about how I'm going to get it off.
"It was hard to scrub off. If it was on your face as a lady then it would be a good thing to wear out. But for a four-year-old it's not.
"I told her she has her own make-up and she sits there with a face like thunder and she didn't really have an answer."
