Costumes Hub ☺ Fun Costumes Ideas: How to Look Like Amy Winehouse

A simple guide on how to look like Amy Winehouse. Amy has a very unique style, which is quite easy to emulate.

Steps

Firstly, and possibly most importantly, is the hairstyle. If you wish to look like Amy Winehouse, it is necessary to have a beehive, as it is very important to her look. I wouldn't recommend having one as large as Amy sports. As long as your hair is at least shoulder-length, you can create this style, though.
Amy makes a big statement with her make-up. To get her look, firstly apply some foundation. Don't use one too dark or light, and try not to create a matted look, you want it to look quite natural. Next, take some black liquid eyeliner and apply to your top lids. As you reach the corners of your eyes, flick outwards and create a dramatic wing effect of to the side. Amy makes this flick very thick and long, usually reaching her eyebrows, but if you feel this would be a bit too much, you can tone it down. Apply as much or as little mascarra as you wish. Finally, the lips. Amy doesn't usually wear much lipstick, so stick to perhaps a tinted lipbalm for daily wear, but if you are going out (e.g. to a disco or party) then go for a vibrant red!

Amy's style is very individual and quirky but, most importantly, fun. When shopping, go for vivid colors - a bright yellow dress (as pictured above), or a classic black number would be good for going out somewhere. On casual days, a vest and skinny jeans should suffice. Team up with brightly colored heels and silly accessories.
Amy is a big fan of body-art. Tattoos are something big to seriously consider, and it would be daft to get one simply to look like Amy Winehouse, but if you currently do have tattoos, this will add to the look.
