Tell me what star you look like and I'll tell you how to do your makeup and dress

Have you ever thought there might be a celebrity who looks like you? Often, others point it out, and we don't think much of it. But what if we've just missed out on a potential free style consultation? Maybe the person who was just suggested to us is an actress, a singer, or even a fashion icon who shares similar features and a similar body shape, making it even more interesting to do a bit of comparison. Not in an unhealthy way, but for inspiration. Discovering your "famous look-alike" can actually motivate you to explore new looks and find your personal style by blending your own taste with that of a stylist paid to make their celebrity client always look top-notch.

How to find out which star looks like you and what to do with this information

The key is probably to be a bit delusional. While keeping in mind that we don't have a team of image consulting experts by our side every day, the goal isn't to transform into a clone of that celebrity, but simply to take inspiration from their image and see what happens. Where to start? By finding a celebrity with similar features to ours, like eye color, hair color, and skin tone. Gradually, we dive deeper: look for a match with face shape, eye shape, forehead width, and lip fullness. Once you’ve identified your star, search for tons of photos of them on Pinterest and study their beauty looks. The same goes for clothing. Things to take note of are: body shape, proportions between torso, shoulders, and hips, specific body characteristics like a full bust or muscular legs, and height.

Some celebrity examples to take inspiration from

The pop star of the moment is undoubtedly Sabrina Carpenter, with her Polly Pocket aesthetic that plays up the main characteristics of her image, making it her signature. Sabrina, standing at 152 cm, is considered petite. Analyzing her body type, we see she has a slim and toned silhouette. Her hips are not very prominent compared to her waist and shoulders, classifying her as an hourglass shape. Additionally, her legs are proportionally longer compared to the rest of her body, which is why she tends to highlight them.

Her face is triangular, with more width in the upper part: she has prominent cheekbones that she highlights with makeup, focusing on highlighter and blush. She also has a small, upturned nose and a wide forehead that’s perfect for curtain bangs. The consistency between her sweet appearance and her look—designed to be both glamorous and reminiscent of 1950s fashion with a touch of Y2K through mini skirts and glittery bodysuits—is ideal for her figure. If you resemble her, you know what to do!

The status of Zendaya as a true fashion icon has been undeniable for quite some time. She has accustomed us to bold and experimental looks, but always stunning. Zendaya is also known for bringing natural hair textures and styles to the most exclusive red carpets in Hollywood and around the world, consistently proving that braids, locks, and afro curls are just as fashionable as styles typically reserved for straight hair.

Zendaya's body is long and slim. She has broad shoulders, long limbs, and an athletic physique. Her waist isn’t particularly defined, and the proportions between her torso and legs are well-balanced, making her possibly a rectangle shape. Bust, waist, and hips are aligned, and—if arms and shoulders are muscular and the chest is small—this body type can look somewhat androgynous. Women with rectangular body types don't have much trouble flattering their figure since they can look good with both a simpler, more masculine look, or a more feminine one.

Her face has a very defined jawline balanced by round cheeks. To determine your face shape, you need to assess a few key points: the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and the overall length of the face. One way is to pull your hair back and notice where the widest part of your face is. If it's the forehead and the face is longer, you likely have an oval face. If the forehead is the widest part and the chin is pointed, the face is heart-shaped, just like Zendaya’s.

Artificial intelligence can help us out

Artificial intelligence can be very helpful in finding our famous look-alike. Thanks to advanced facial recognition and machine learning techniques, AI can compare a person's facial features with those of famous individuals in large databases of images and give us the answer we've always been looking for, even when this resemblance isn’t noticed by people in our lives. So, if you don't know where to start with your style and makeup, looking for your celebrity doppelgänger is a good starting point.
