According to TikTok user Mina (@minaamouse016), we need to start doing our makeup like our celebrity lookalike. But the first question is, who do I look like? TikTok’s made it possible for people to find out who our celebrity lookalike is!
Some of us might be Dua Lipa lookalikes. Some of us might even look like the gorgeous Simone Ashley from an angle!
But you might ask, what’s a convincing argument for doing our styling or even our makeup like an established celebrity you happen to look like? Well, for one, it’s an easy cheat code. No more trial and error. And also, it’s a big boost of confidence.

Cheat Code
Well, for one, a celebrity is an easier cheat code, especially if you happen to have features similar to them. If you have a hard time figuring out a celebrity with your features, then you can do it on a more even playing level: figure out the celebrity you look like with regards to a certain feature. For example, I might have eyes like Kim Ji Won’s, but my facial shape is like Sydney Sweeney’s and hair like Dua Lipa’s.
Now that you know that you do resemble this celebrity in this way and form, it’s a surefire, easier way to have a frame of reference when you have your hair or makeup getting done. If there are rosters of celebrities who you may look like, I imagine that it’ll be quite fun because that means there’s more than one makeup look you can try!
No More Trial and Error
For a lot of us, not everyone can afford to habitually change the way we style ourselves. We can’t always change our hair into a balayage when we feel like it because some of us? We live from paycheck to paycheck. Not all of us have the privilege to freely experiment with the styles we want.
This is why imitating celebrities with features similar to ours is also practical. When you’re doing trial and error, it’s costly and impractical.
When we do trial and error without the reference of someone who looks like us, the results aren’t always that guaranteed. This means no more days we’re a flop because of trying out that new style, and it turns out it looks bad on us. Tried and tested and safe!
Boost of Confidence
Lastly, a celebrity-inspired makeup look would give you a boost of confidence for your daily endeavors! There’s nothing better than feeling assured and confident that you look great.
Issues
The Issue With Representation
A lot of the beauty standards in Hollywood are Eurocentric and narrow. For South Asians and other ethnicities, it’s hard to find representation in it. A lot of nonwhite actors have had to produce their own projects for them to find work and representation. Thus, finding someone who looks like you can be tricky.
A Matter of Style
In this political climate, it’s important to also define yourself in style – and that includes makeup. It’s still crucial to have your own identity and sense of self even if you wear a flattering haircut that may be reminiscent of a celebrity’s.
Details
Makeup and online Jili games share some commonalities, such as the need for attention to detail, creativity, customization – and lastly, fun! Both activities allow you to embrace your own sense of style and achievement.
Since you’re doing your makeup like a celebrity, attention to detail is also quite expected and important. Be sure to have something that can help correct your mistakes like concealer or micellar water so that if something goes wrong, you’re prepared.
Wrapping Up
Enjoy your makeup! Makeup is a form of self-expression. By doing it in a more flattering (the way celebrities do it ) what you can get is a massive boost of confidence! However, the TikTok trend may also have some issues due to its representation in Hollywood.
