Celebrity Style // Who do you look like?

 
For the last couple of years I have often been compared to the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton because when I have my hair and make-up a certain way people can see a resemblance. Friends, people at work, my parents friends and complete strangers have often commented and I've even been advised to go to a lookalike agency, although I rarely see the similarities myself. 

I've never purposely tried to re-create any of her looks but it has got me thinking about how you can completely transform an outfit by simply wearing your hair and make-up in a different way and how you can easily achieve a completely image change temporarily.  For example, Kate often wears her hair in very loose, soft, subtle curls and has brunette hair so to get her look you would simple copy this or if you haven't got long brunette hair could invest in a hair piece such as 100% human hair wig from Pauls Hair World.  Makeup is just the same.  I've noticed Kate keeps her make-up looking very natural, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of her with a bright lip or heavy eye makeup.  Her look is very simple and classic, so if you want to have a similar look you can easily re-create it.  Conversely, you could go for more pronounced curls, tan, a natural lip and dark eye makeup to re-create o Cheryl Cole look or even darker eye makeup, a pink lip and flicked out blonde wavy curls for Holly Willoughby.

I think I will be taking more notice of how celebrities and people in the public eye I like style themselves and maybe try to re-create some of their looks on my blog or You Tube.

If you want to try transforming yourself into someone you admire in the public eye,  you can shop online at Pauls Hair World who offer a huge range of products that can completely change your image.

What celebrity or well known figure in the public eye do you look like or do you want to look like?

FOTD Night Out in Torquay

Today I have another face of the day post for you.  This time it was for a gig I went to in Torquay on Friday night.  The weather was gorgeous down there so I wanted to wear a fresh, summery look to go with my tan. The gig was amazing and we enjoyed spending the day and evening strolling around the area.  It was a shame we couldn't stay a little longer and relax around the pool in the sun :(
