During her 50-plus-year run, Barbie has modeled countless fashions, been everything from an astronaut to a Nascar driver, and has represented over 40 different ethnicities. Throughout her many manifestations, she has inspired little girls and adult women alike. To be like Barbie, try the following tips.
Be a role model. Though Barbie is an adult, she has inspired children for decades. You’d never see her drunk, with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, or even swearing. Limit your vices by quitting smoke or drinking if necessary. Be. nice, set a bit of time aside to volunteer for a good cause, and always have a cheerful attitude and a smile.
Wear make-up correctly. Barbie wears mostly eye shadow, mascara, and blush, so you might even be able to get away with a more natural look..
- Set your face with a translucent powder.
- Wear mascara, which is key to the Barbie look; apply fake eyelashes if you want to. Wear feminine eyeshadow colours like pink, light blue, purple, etc. Eyeliner is purely optional, though you can brighten your eyes by applying white eyeliner in your water line. Just remember to never get stuck in the black eyeliner rut. Experiment with colors; navy blue, for example, looks amazing with any skin tone.
- Barbie has a tiny nose, so it's important to contour your nose: apply a neutral brown colour and lightly run the brush along the sides of your nose. Get rid of the hard edges with a fan brush.
- For your lips, apply a good moisturizing lip balm, then apply a pink lipstick or lipgloss. Once you have done this, get your concealer and, using a brush, make perfectly shaped lips: outline your lips in concealer (the harder the edge, the better), accentuate the cupid's bow, and blend the concealer in.
- Barbie also had a brand at Mac; these products are specifically in Barbie shades and colours and even come in cute packaging.
- Even out your skin with a nice foundation. Flawless skin is a must.
- True Barbie girls never forget blush. Make sure it's a natural color (pinks, reds, maroons); Bronzes, browns, and golds always look good on brown skin tones and make fairer skin look tan. Soft, sultry, full lips pull the look altogether.
Practice good hygiene . Brush your teeth and tongue twice per day; also, take a bath/shower once a day, every day. Always was your face.
Take extra care of your hair. It always needs to stay clean and neat. Lots of body and shine are a must, but avoid letting it become greasy. If you have curls, style them; having perfectly straight blonde hair isn’t a requirement, as Barbie has had every possible kind of hairstyle.
Keep your skin soft and silky with lotion. Barbie may be plastic, but remember that that's what makes her perfect: she has even, unblemished skin. Don't forget to apply daily.
Do your nails. Use fake nails, gels, or acrylics or, if your nails are long enough, get a French manicure. For a classic Barbie look, paint your nails pink. A baby pink is a great look.
Have charisma. Barbie isn't mean; she is friendly, kind, and caring. Personality is the key to success if you want to be like Barbie. Make conversation, smile, compliment others, and have confidence in yourself. Confidence can be displayed by the way you talk, walk or appear, so make sure you look approachable and have great posture as well.
Work out. Barbie has been a tennis player, Olympic star, Baywatch babe, and an ice skater. She's physically fit and you can be too. Although Barbie is famous for being super skinny, this is not her most important trait: confidence is key – and a Barbie who takes care of her body will feel more confident about it.
