If you’re not chronically online like I am you may have missed the latest trend of finding your best beauty matches based on a celebrity you look like. The premise of this trend is using your celebrity look-alike to enhance your own looks. Celebrities pay big bucks and have teams of specialists to know which colors, hairstyles, make-up shades and clothes look best on them- all you gotta do is know who you look like and copy them!
1. How to find out who you look like
If you haven’t had people telling you that you look just like Taylor Swift your whole life it can be hard to find who you look like. Below are 2 of the apps we have found that are a bit more useful than the TikTok filters.
Popular Apps to Try:
- Gradient: One of the most well-known celebrity look-alike apps, Gradient allows you to upload a photo, and it’ll compare your features to a database of celebrities to find the closest match. You’ll get a list of celebrities you resemble, and you can even play around with filters to tweak your results.
- CelebLook: Similar to Gradient, CelebLook allows you to upload a selfie, and it uses AI to identify the closest celebrity match based on facial recognition. It’s pretty accurate, and you can share your results easily on social media.
- StarbyFace: This app is another celebrity comparison tool that matches your photo with celebrities based on your facial features. It uses AI technology to analyze key points on your face and make an accurate match.
Not interested in an app- this is trending right now on TikTok- try making a post or commenting under one of these videos saying who do I look like. Warning- some people have out of pocket comments.
2. Use that celeb to upgrade YOU
Look at what is similar about you two and use it.
Popular Apps to Try:
- Colors: this is a great hack to skip paying for a color analysis ( although we do think getting one is one of the best ways to enhance your appearance – a blog post on this coming soon). They know what colors make their skin glow, eyes pop and what metals fit their tone.
- Face shape: this is a great way to tell what brow shape works best on you and what hairstyles flatter your face shape. Look on Pinterest and bring in a copy of your fav cut of theirs to your next appointment.
- Makeup: What make-up types flatter them most. Have you always been a bold glamour girl but your doppleganger opts for more natural- give it at try they may just be onto something
- Bonus: many celebs do get ready with me videos/whats in my bag videos that can help you find their exact products!
Bottom Line
Obviously no one has the exact same beauty as you but this is a great fun way to try and enhance your features with advice from the professionals (literally).
