It cannot be denied that Audrey Hepburn was a huge fashion icon. Everything she wore became an instant classic and set her apart from the other actresses of her day. And no modern actress has even come close to surpassing Hepburn’s elegance and grace. Many have tried to emulate her look and style, but have not able to do it perfectly. Here are a few tips to achieving that classic Audrey look:

• Eyeliner: Her eye makeup was astounding. Just this weekend, my sister and I were looking up pictures of Audrey Hepburn when we noticed her amazing eyeliner. She used liquid eyeliner to get the fantastic 60s look. She keeps it thin on the bottom of the eye and even has her eyeliner in the corner of her eye and then all the way around. As she extends on her eyelid (furthest from her nose), she thickens the eyeliner and extends past the edge of her eye to give it an exotic look.

•  Clothes: Audrey pretty much rocked anything she wore, but she was most famous for her black outfits. This classic beauty did not need extravagant clothes to make a statement. Her iconic beauty did that for her. She liked to wear black turtlenecks with black pants and shoes. Very clean and classic lines.

• Accessories: Audrey’s accessories were either extravagant (in some movies) or simple. Whichever look you are trying to emulate, you can find great jewelry for a lot less at little boutiques or looking up wholesale jewelry.

So, lately I’ve been thinking about celebrities and what their life must be like. You know…all that money. Here a few of my questions for celebrities:

1. Do they health insurance? This may seem like a silly question, but think about it. Why would they need health insurance when they have no trouble paying for visits. Why pay monthly payments when money isn’t a problem? Right?
2. What about house payments? Do they make monthly payments on a loan or use something like money merge account to get it paid off quicker?
3.  Does the current economic hardship even bother them? I can’t imagine that they would be getting upset filling up their gas tank. Come on, what’s 60 bucks to someone who makes millions per movie?
4. And the most important question: Has anyone informed Donald Trump that he has the most hideous hair EVER!? Apparently when you are rich, you can look however you want–disgusting and all. And we all know that the only reason he has been married to beautiful women is because he is filthy rich. Without all that money…he’d just be filthy.

If you have curly hair like I do, you probably have the same issues. First of all, have you ever tried to look up celebrities with curly hair so that you could steal their haircut? They pretty much don’t exist. It will say that these celebs  have curly  hair, but in reality, they have straight hair and just curled the ends with a curling iron. That is NOT curly hair. I want to see how celebs deal with naturally curly hair. I had to go through this ordeal recently when I was trying to find a great, new hairstyle. I knew I wanted something different than my usual “trim it and re-do the layers”. But it was near impossible to find something that fit what I wanted–something hot and new! But here are a few celebs that actually have naturally curly hair. God bless them!
