We all know what the strong points of the beautiful and talented Ariana Grande are - red hair, big eyes, lovely dimples. But have you ever looked beyond appearances? Would you like to know the key elements that characterize her clothing, the makeup she wears and her favorite accessories? This article will reveal everything you need to know and more. One step at a time, you will learn how to achieve the look and poise of this beautiful star.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Part 1: The Appearance
Step 1. Choose an Ariana-worthy hairstyle
Ariana is well known for her fiery red hair which she sports in Sam & Cat.
- Her hairdressers use a coloring hairspray to get this color temporarily. Typically, Ariana wears her hair natural (brown!) With highlights or moonshots.
- Ariana's favorite hairstyle is a voluminous half-up, with curled ends. To achieve this look, pull the top half of the hair back into a sleek ponytail and tie it carefully. Then, curl the strands left free. Alternatively, you can straighten your hair and pull it up into a high ponytail. If they aren't long enough, add an extension. To complete the hairstyle, wrap a section of hair around the elastic - so as to hide it - and secure everything with a bobby pin.
- For a more detailed explanation, check out the photos or search for demonstration videos on YouTube.
Step 2. Don't overdo the makeup
Ariana usually wears very light makeup that doesn't distract attention from her natural beauty.
-
She uses essential makeup: foundation and concealer, mascara, a strong line of eyeliner and an eyeshadow with natural shades. She likes to complete her look with some pale pink lip gloss.
-
Ariana wore a lot more eyeliner and mascara when she was younger. You can try it too, if you want your eyes to look bigger. She claims that being Italian, she has obvious dark circles, so always use the concealer.
-
Ariana also confessed that she hates when makeup artists choose makeup that is too heavy for her, so do your makeup very simply without overdoing it.
- Apparently Ariana tries not to use any kind of make-up twice a week to allow her skin to breathe. It's a great idea, you should try it too.
- Ariana uses the Hoola bronzing powder from Benefit Cosmetics and the blush from Laura Mercier or MAC. One of his favorite brands is Urban Decay. Get these products to emulate Ariana's look through and through.
- Ariana posted a demonstration video on her YouTube channel (Osnapitzari) where she shows how to use all of her favorite products. You can watch it for more tips.
Step 3. Uncover the secrets of his style
Ariana's style is sweet, jaunty, retro and sophisticated. He manages to show all the facets of his personality through the most diverse outfits. She can amaze you both with a Dolce & Gabbana dress, or with a high-waisted skirt, but also with simple jeans and her favorite sweatshirt.
- Ariana wears evening dresses only during awards ceremonies and premieres - and they are usually strapless. Don't feel like you have to wear them if you're not comfortable. Ariana also likes summer dresses with floral motifs, cheerful and sunny that highlight her feminine side.
- Lately he prefers wide sweaters paired with high boots (they don't necessarily have to be with heels).
- Ariana wears many two-piece dresses, such as tops and corsets paired with skirts or high-waisted shorts. If your school has a dress code, or if you're not allowed to make out too much, wear a blouse.
- To have an Ariana-inspired wardrobe, you'll need to get hold of some essentials: court shoes, summer dresses with floral patterns, cropped tops that reveal the navel, skirts by American Apparel, high-waisted shorts and corsets.
- Ariana's favorite clothing stores are Nasty Gal, Wildfox Couture, Forever 21, Topshop, American Apparel, Brandy Melville, Abercrombie, LF Stores, and Urban Outfitters. Her favorite designer is Kenley Collins, who has customized many dresses for Ariana.
Step 4. Use the accessories based on Ariana's style
Ariana doesn't wear too much jewelry, so settle for a simple bracelet or necklace. She loves simple and sophisticated pearl necklaces and earrings - just like the two icons of the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
-
As for shoes, Ariana mostly wears high heels (her favorite are the pumps). But if you are still very young, flat shoes without heels will work too.
- If you want to look like her in one of her more casual looks, get some Vans Skate sneakers, Ariana wears them often.
-
Ariana's favorite nail polish brand is Chanel, but don't worry if you can't afford it. She usually favors a deep red or pale pink.
- An accessory that you must have at any cost is the cute smartphone case in the shape of Rilakkuma, a small brown teddy bear. She is often immortalized in Ariana's selfies.
Step 5. Take care of your skin
Ariana's skin is very healthy. She was born and raised in Florida, so she has a gorgeous amber complexion.
-
To get beautiful, glowing skin like hers, drink lots of water (as she suggests) and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ariana's favorite fruits are strawberries and grapes, she eats at will to keep her skin healthy.
-
Wear sunscreen every day to protect your skin from UV damage. This is very important, especially if you live in a warm and sunny place like Ariana (who currently resides in Los Angeles).
-
If you suffer from acne, be sure to wash your face twice a day (no more, as the skin can become irritated and cause an even worse rash) and use a benzoyl peroxide-based acne cream to soothe the pimples.
Part 2 of 2: Part 2: The Lifestyle
Step 1. Eat healthily
Ariana loves to eat healthy, because the right diet provides her with all the energy she needs to meet her work commitments, also helping her to maintain her slim and feminine physical shape.
-
Ariana eats organic oatmeal with pieces of fruit every morning to prepare for her day. It also adds a handful of almonds for their protein intake. Recently, she went vegan. You can do it too, whether you want to imitate Ariana, or to try this lifestyle, but be sure to consult a specialist before changing your diet so drastically.
- Since his working days are very long, he usually prefers healthy snacks and organic energy bars.
-
Ariana follows a vegan diet, but if this lifestyle isn't your thing, try some lean proteins, like salmon or chicken paired with fruit and vegetables. They are suitable dishes for both lunch and dinner. Try to eat little and often, every 3-4 hours, having 5 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones.
-
Remember that eating healthy is more important than counting calories. Skipping meals is useless, you can eat plenty as long as you keep moving and the calories you consume are from healthy and nutritious foods.
Step 2. Keep fit
Ariana's good friend and choreographer Isaac Calpito helped her keep fit and give her best by teaching her how to be always active.
-
Even if you are not a born athlete, long walks and a little jogging will help you stay healthy, as long as you stay consistent.
-
Find a fun and enjoyable way to exercise. Try signing up for a dance class, put together a volleyball team, or jump on a trampoline. If you choose something you like, it will be much easier to find the right motivation to train!
Step 3. Imitate her spontaneous and fun personality
Ariana is sweet, bubbly and likeable, just like her character in Victorious. She loves to joke with her friends, she is witty and naive, but always a great company.
-
Ariana has a personality that should be described as "naughty" - she is always in a happy and energetic mood. Because of this, people are attracted to her and want to be like her. Try not to be too serious or moody, because you would be the exact opposite of Ariana.
-
Ariana's true passion is singing - her idols are Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Download some of their songs and listen to them repeatedly! If you have a beautiful voice, try singing them yourself.
-
Do not swear. Ariana rarely swears, unless it's a few sporadic occasions with her friends. She doesn't want to be a bad example to her younger fans. Swearing makes you look ignorant and un-feminine. Ariana prefers to behave like a classy girl.
-
Volunteer. Ariana has taken several causes to heart, such as helping disadvantaged children and fighting animal cruelty. Get busy for others if you really want to look like her.
Step 4. Take selfies, so-called selfies
Ariana loves Twitter and Instagram. He loves taking selfies and posting them on social networks to share the funny moments of his life and his style with fans.
- To take selfies like Ariana, tilt your head to one side and look at the camera from this angle - avoid looking directly into the camera. This pose is really flattering, because it highlights the cheekbones and makes the eyes look bigger. You can also put the hair over one shoulder to make it more voluminous.
- Use flattering filters and fun stencils. Ariana prefers calm and minimally invasive filters, which make the colors warmer, or the classic black and white for a touch of retro glamor! Add cute heart-shaped stencils and other fun effects to your photos with the After Light application (Ariana's favorite).
- Be cheerful. Try to have fun with your photos, there is no need to always look serious and haughty. Ariana certainly isn't! Stick out your tongue, take some silly pictures with friends or your pets and have fun (Miley isn't the only one who enjoys making faces)!
Step 5. Surround yourself with close friends
Find caring, sincere friends who love you as you are and who will always be there for you. Some of Ariana's closest friends are Alexa Luria, Elizabeth Gillies, and Jennette McCurdy.
-
A tip for making good friends is to talk to the people around you. For example, if you take dance lessons or take a drawing class, talk to other people, a great friendship could blossom! Ariana does the same. She is always with her crew and has built up a good friendship with most of them.
-
Remember, it's okay to have male friends! Ariana has many, like Jones Crow and Isaac Calpito.
-
Try to have a good relationship with your family. Ariana and her brother Frankie have a great bond.
Step 6. Be yourself
Ariana is never afraid to show her true personality to her fans, family and friends. He's not afraid to say what he thinks or tweet about something totally stupid.
Find your personal style and live it fully. It's okay to try to follow in Ariana's footsteps and admire her, but remember not to act exactly like her. Let your true personality shine
Advice
- Make sure you surround yourself with good people, not those who encourage you to drink or smoke. Ariana would never do this and has stated several times that she is not a party girl.
- As for the style, you can also refer to the outfits that Cat Valentine wore in Victorious and Sam & Cat. Cat's style is a little different than Ariana's, so you'll have more choice if you choose to dress like either.. Cat dresses more youthfully, so her style doesn't look as sophisticated as Ariana's, which is a great thing if you're much younger than her. Search Google for "Cat Valentine's Dresses" for inspiration.
