How to Look like Mariah Carey

There are undoubtedly many beautiful women in the world. Perhaps you think of the classic so-called "sex symbols" that permeate society, or maybe you like the more modern starlets. One such starlet, an actor and singer, is Mariah Carey.

For years, people have asked every question in the book about this beauty. Is she black or is she white, what is her natural hair color, how old is she really, and why, why, why...

But people, especially younger women, are asking another question as well. They are wondering, how can I capture the same physical beauty that this woman seems to be able to exude so well? Well, you're in the right place... because there are definitely some tricks of the Mariah Carey trade!

First of all, let's get this known (or perhaps not so known) fact out of the way: in real life, behind the makeup and underneath the over-processed hair, Mariah is just like all the rest of us. Yes, before the magazine and music album cover is totally retouched, she looks no better than any other woman walking on this earth! But if you are ready to undergo a daily sort of "transformation", then here are your first steps.

Number One: The hair. Perhaps one of the biggest things Mariah has been known for in recent years is her hair. No doubt it takes much upkeep, as her hair is naturally very dark and rather curly. So, how does she achieve the Barbie-doll style look with the golden, flowing, wavy locks? Well, we can't exactly say 'it's easy'... but rather, it can be done. Visit your local upscale hair salon and get a sort of "estimate" at what it's going to take to achieve the look. And, of course, the longer your locks the better! With some time and money, your hair can be transformed to the modern Mariah look!

Number Two: The skin. Like most famous women these days, Mariah seems to glow a warm bronze everywhere she goes. The truth is, though, that Mariah is really rather pale - even porcelain white. While you can tell she has damaged her skin by using tanning beds, she does seem to be opting more for the spray-on method recently to achieve her bronzed look. Indeed, if you want that modern Mariah Carey look, you gotta get the bronze thing going!

Number Three: Makeup. Again, like every other famous woman, you've got to get the makeup right. Mariah is a fan of blushes to accentuate the cheeks - which makes her look rather cute. Try icy pink colors for the cheeks, and glossy pinks for the lips to make them really pop. Mariah likes to wear thin eye liner around the eyes to really accentuate them, so practice with her techniques. You can find lots of informative and step by step makeup tutorials on the internet on websites like YouTube.
