OK, I really don’t. And never would. Ever. Yes, I’ve read the Twilight series and have mixed feelings about it, but Bella is likely one of my least favorite literary characters ever.

That said, I'm by no means above those who do.

I remember when Titanic came out and I wanted to look just like gorgeous Kate Winslet (hell, I still would—Kate is hot!). I bought the makeup she wore, a pair of glove like the pair she wore, and even started doing my hair in updos. My boyfriend (now-husband) even bought me a goofy pendant like the one she wore in the film that I would probably be embarrassed to wear today. I bought enough makeup to look like Kate (or Rose, if you will) in fact, that I was able to send in my proofs-of-purchase to buy an “exclusive” behind-the-scenes Titanic photo book!

Oh, boy. Those were the days, eh?

Then, when A Midsummer Night’s Dream came out, I remember Max Factor having ads about what the people in the film were wearing everywhere. I was so excited—not because I was a particular fan of the actors this time, but because it was—A Midsummer Night’s Dream! How romantic! (I would argue with that point today.) Fairies! I want to look like a shimmery, glittery fairy with flowers on my head and meddle in the affairs of humans! Bring on the fairy dust.

These days, my makeup routine consists of washing my face and applying (and re-applying throughout the day) my Burt’s Bees lip balm (or, as my daughter would call it, my “chopstick”). That doesn’t mean that other young women and girls out there are any different from how I was.

The actors have changed, the movies are different, but the sentiment remains the same: I want my hair/ lips/ eyes/ breasts/ clothes to look like Angelina’s/ Julia’s/ Bella’s/ Meagan’s!

There are even sites dedicated to simply following what celebrities put on their faces. Take Makeup411, for example. You can get a “breakdown” of what who wore when and in what film, whether you want to look like Julia Roberts in Duplicity (rather than Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, I suppose?) or Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body (couldn’t you just smear some fake blood at the corners of your mouth?).

I’m really interested in finding out if anyone else out there has done—or is doing—the same thing I did. Don’t be embarrassed—share! Did you don a Michael Jackson glove, get a J-Lo haircut, or buy plumping gloss thinking it would give you Angelina lips? I want to know about the guys, too—have you bought hair products, cologne or anything else because of a celebrity?
