Let’s make one thing clear – unless you have an entourage as big as Nicki Minaj’s derriere and a makeup artist with more talent than an entire chorus of Britney Spears’s backing singers, you’ll struggle to look as good as the stars.
But, let’s make another thing clear – the stars of today are no more than people and, despite their 45 makeup artists and fluffers, there are ways to almost achieve their look.
To find out a few, look no further than these tips.
Mount up the moisture
You can splash out on all the high street moisturiser you want, but the celebs aren’t using the cheap stuff. For real blemish control, they use expensive products that won’t just moisturise you, but actively make skin healthier.
A higher quality skin doesn’t end with a few moisturisers. Keep your hue healthy with a balanced, fruit and veg filled diet that will have you go from “no makeup selfie” to “I don’t even need makeup selfie”.
Fashionable fitness
You can have as many svelte, high-fashion dresses as you like, but that won’t make much of a difference if you look about as healthy as Johnny Vegas downing a Domino’s Pizza.
To start with, exercise at your peak time, generally deemed to be between 3pm and 5pm. At this point, your endorphin levels are at their peak, and you’ll have enough protein from breakfast and lunch to burn calories in a healthy way. Shed those pounds with a steady jog and you’ll fit into your figure-hugging dress in no time.
Play the selfie surveillance game
If you’re a Twitter obsessive – and, nowadays, everyone is – you’re probably addicted to seeing the latest celebrity selfies. But you can make so much more of these snaps into the lives of Cyrus, Knowles and co.
Twitter means that the latest styles of the stars can be viewed in near-real time, so you can piggyback onto the newest trends before even the fashion mags have time to report them.
Fawn at the 90s
They might seem like the stars of the past, but style icons like Courtney Love and Kim Deal have seen a resurgence in popularity.
That’s right, the grunge look is back in full swing, with plaid shirts, denim dungarees, crop tops, glasses bigger than your fist and lipstick redder than Mars dominating the hippest places the world over.
So, it might be time to pull that Sonic Youth t-shirt and Converse from the back of the wardrobe – grunge is back.
