Want to look like Barbie for a costume party or everyday look? This article will show you how to dress up like Barbie, from makeup, hair, nails and clothes so you look like a doll everywhere you go! See Step 1 below to get started.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Makeup like Barbie
Step 1. Start with smooth skin
Barbie has nearly perfect skin, so make sure you take care of your own skin, applying the following suggestions:
- Clean your face twice a day and remember to moisturize once in the morning and once at night with a product that is suitable for your skin.
- Wear sunscreen when outdoors (even if it's not hot) to prevent dark spots, dark spots and sunburn.
- Use prescribed creams to get rid of pimples and avoid touching your face without first washing your hands.
- Always remove your makeup before going to bed.
Step 2. Apply foundation
Create the perfect canvas for your makeup by applying foundation.
- Use a spray airbrush foundation (which really matches your skin tone) to the back of your hand, then use a stippling brush to apply it on your face, for a perfectly even finish.
- Use your favorite concealer with a high ability to cover dark circles around the eyes or other imperfections.
- Use a powder sponge to apply loose powder to your face-this method locks the foundation without tarnishing the flawless finish you've created.
Step 3. Contour the nose
Barbie has a small nose, so you need to make your nose look smaller by using the contouring technique.
- Take a matte brown eye shadow and a small makeup brush and start contouring along the sides of the nose, in a straight line from the inside of the brow to the bottom.
- Take a fan-shaped brush and use it lightly to blend the lines, for a more natural look.
Step 4. Apply eyeshadow
The next step is the eyes. First take a light blue eye shadow and sweep it all over your eyelids.
- Next, take a white matte eyeshadow and apply it on the inner corner of the eye. This will widen your eyes. Also use this white eye shadow to the brow bone, as a highlighter.
- Now take a light pink eye shadow and brush it over the crease of the eyelid, creating a semicircle from one edge of the eyelid to the other.
- Finally, take a dark blue eye shadow and use it to make a line in the crease of the eyelid, thus forming a firm line between the light blue and pink shadow shadows. Then use the same dark blue color for the upper and lower lash lines, creating a cartoonish feel.
Step 5. Apply eyeliner and false eyelashes
Take a white eyeliner and apply it on your tear line (the inside of your lower lash line). This will make the whites of your eyes look bigger and wider.
- Take false eyelashes (whatever style you think is most Barbie-like) and measure them according to your natural lashes. Cut (from the inside) if needed.
- Apply a line of eyelash glue and wait a minute or two for it to adhere. Then slowly apply the false lashes to your real lashes.
- For a real Barbie effect, apply half of the false lashes to the lower lash line, extending from the outer corner of the eye to the center of the eye.
Step 6. Apply blush and pink lipstick
Take a rose-pink blush and use a brush to brush it over the cheekbones and along the cheekbones.
- Take a glossy pink lipstick and apply it on your lips. Use a lip brush to define lip lines and to get a neat lip shape.
- To create a doll effect, take some concealer and apply it on the outside of your lips to create a defined lip effect. Use a brush to blend the concealer well and apply loose powder on top.
- Take a pink lip gloss and apply it over the lipstick to add shine.
Method 2 of 3: Have Barbie Hair, Skin and Nails
Step 1. Dye your hair blonde
Everyone knows that Barbie has blonde hair, so if you really want to match Barbie's look, you have to emulate her!
- If you really want to look like Barbie, you may have to bleach your hair using bleach for a pale blonde effect. If you've never done this before, you should make an appointment with a professional stylist-you don't want to ruin your hair!
- If you are not ready to use bleach, you can lighten your hair color without a dramatic effect with blond hair dye or with highlights. Again, see a professional if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself.
- But if you're just trying to look like Barbie for a costume party, a blonde wig is a great choice. The wig will give you Barbie blonde hair without the need for permanent dyes or dyes.
Step 2. Style your hair
Barbie's hair is always perfect, without a single strand getting out of style. If you decide to buy a blonde wig, you've done your job, but styling your natural hair to look like Barbie takes a little more effort.
- Keep your hair healthy by washing it frequently with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This is important, because blonde hair can be very dry.
- Keep your hair as long as possible, but make sure it's in good condition by trimming the ends regularly. Sometimes Barbie has bangs, so consider trimming them too.
- If you plan to let your hair down, use a special tool to create large loose curls and use hairspray to give your hair lots of volume.
- Alternatively, you can keep your hair straight or tie it into a high ponytail-it depends on what Barbie look you want to emulate.
Step 3. Darken the skin if your skin is pale
Barbie has suntanned skin, a color you can get by naturally tan or using a bottle tan.
- If you naturally tan, you're in luck. However, you still have to take care of your skin. Always use sunscreen lotion when sunbathing to avoid sunburn and skin damage-or you'll pay the price later.
- If you must use a tan, use a product that will gradually tan and enhance your natural skin tone. Make sure you exfoliate before applying the tan-this is to remove any rough or flaky skin and keep it from looking blotchy.
- Regardless of whether your tan is natural or artificial, you should regularly moisturize your skin with a moisturizing lotion to keep it smooth and soft.
Step 4. Color your nails
Barbie should always have perfectly manicured nails-on her fingers and toes. You can paint your nails yourself or go to a salon for a more professional result.
- Of course, pink is a natural choice for Barbie's nail color, but you can vary it a bit by choosing colors like purple or orange-as long as they're bright and playful. Don't go for dark colors, like red, dark purple or black (unless you want to be a Gothic Barbie!)
- Another great option is a French manicure-like a pink base or a peach color with white tips. It's so classic and beautiful it's also perfect for a Barbie look.
- If you paint your own nails, try to do it as neatly as possible. Apply nail polish once on the center of the nail, then a second and third polish on both sides. Wipe off any mistakes with a cotton stick previously dipped in nail polish remover.
- If you decide to have your nails done professionally, think about getting a gel manicure. This type of manicure is more expensive than a regular one, but the nail polish will last up to three weeks and won't smudge or peel off.
Method 3 of 3: Imitate Barbie Outfits
Step 1. Wear pink
If you want people to recognize you as Barbie, you have to wear pink-it's Barbie's classic color.
- Include as much pink in your outfit as you can-pink t-shirts, pink dresses, pink jeans, pink skirts, pink shorts, and so on. You can wear pink pajamas to bed (or sleepovers) and have a pink robe to chill at home-and don't forget the pink bedroom slippers.
- However, don't overdo it by wearing pink from head to toe. Barbie herself understands the need for a little variety. Try wearing one or two pieces of pink in one look, for example: a pink top and pink shoes. Then you can wear accessories with more pink if you want!
Step 2. Look stylish
Barbie is pretty much a style icon – she always keeps up with the latest trends and never leaves her dream home without looking her best!
- Check out fashion magazines and fashion blogs to find out what's trending this season. Put forth your best effort to keep up with the latest trends while staying true to your own style and individuality-that's what a style icon is all about!
- Don't feel that you have to spend a lot of money on clothes just for style. Look for smart ways with your limited budget-for example, have a dress swap with your friends or shop at vintage and thrift stores for good stuff at great prices.
Step 3. Be a sporty girl
Of course Barbie doesn't always wear high heels and miniskirts, she also loves to be active! But that doesn't mean she's wearing sweatpants or a baggy t-shirt-Barbie still looks great when she's working out or relaxing on the beach.
- Have beautiful, colorful workout gear – patterned bike shorts, a stylish yet comfortable sports bra and fun sneakers. You can also wear a pink baseball cap if you're running in the great outdoors!
- Barbie really loves the beach, so having some pretty swimsuits is essential. Opt for a cute cute bikini with tassels, ribbons and beads when you're just lounging and sunbathing, or opt for a functional yet feminine bikini for beach volleyball, swimming, or beach duty.
Step 4. Wear accessories like Barbie
All self-respecting Barbie-loving girls know that accessories are a vital component of any outfit-so don't forget it!
- Hair accessories are a good place to start. A cute pink headband will go well, as will shiny bobby pins, pretty bows and floral hair ties. You can also wear a cute hat or scarf on your head.
- Jewelry is another important accessory. If you want a sleek or vintage Barbie look, you should wear a pearl necklace and diamond earrings. More modern accessories include round or dangling earrings, colored bracelets and large stone necklaces.
- Finally, Barbie always carries a handbag and it usually goes well with her outfit, so the more handbags you have in your collection, the better!
Warning
- Don't wear clothes that are too revealing.
- Ask permission from the family first.
