Ooooh my Shia. Even though he is absolutely tanked in this photo (and considering it's his mugshot) I still think he looks absolutely adorable. I mean, how could you even consider pressing charges-just look at that face! Anyways. Shia's mugshot-that-looks-more-like-a-stone-high schoolers-yearbook-photo got me thinking about other celebrity mugshots, and how there are a few that aren't too tragically terrible. Seeing as how my 21st birthday is (not so) rapidly approaching, which means a night of mayhem and drunken debauchary (maybe) figured I would do a "how-to look good in a mugshot" post so I have something to look back on whilst getting ready.
DO
Look at my girl Nicole Richie giving good face in these photos. Take a nod from Nicole here and do wear waterproof eye makeup, and make sure you are wearing an all over foundation and/or concelear that will stay put. Nobody likes a girl lookin like a hot mess with mascara/eyeliner running down here face and blotchy skin (especially in a mug shot. That shit will haunt you...just look at my girl Heather Locklear here.
Which brings us to our next point: Hair. Do at least run a comb through it. After all, you probably are going out for a hot night on the town, so shouldn't your hair be looking its best? Now, you don't want to get to fussy, so avoid complicated up-dos (unless it's a simple ponytail a la Nicole, otherwise by the end of the night half of it will be falling out and you'll look like a bag lady. ) Avoid using too much product (again, like our friend Heather.) Her hair looks so damaged/stringy/gross that it resembles mine when I've been sick for a week and haven't been able to muster the strength to shower. (I know gross. But we aren't here to judge me) Personally, I am a fan of wavy hair myself, so Nicole's hairstyle below is perfect (yes it's a little stringy on the ends, but you can tell it's from a fun night of dancing, not because she's been locked in a meth lab for a month.) There is structure but plenty of touseled movement. But let me reiterate. There is a difference being structured touseled and messy. Just look at Stephanie Pratt here. (I know I know she was cracked out. But that's no excuse.)
Moral of the story is: If you plan on having a wild night out with the girls, take a little extra time to set your make-up so it stays put all night and to comb and do an easy, no fuss hair-do.
Now, we pretty much already went over the "don'ts" within the "do" sections, but here are just few more basic, need-to-know tips.
DON'T
Don't look like a cracked out version of a girl I went to school with. The deer-in-headlights look is not becoming, Miss. Lohan, and close your fucking mouth. You aren't a hungry frog. Also, avoid having a five o'clock self-tanner shadow like Lindsay. Actually you know what, just avoid looking like Lindsay Lohan in general. That's a pretty good life tip.
And finally...AVOID LOOKING LIKE THIS AT ALL COSTS. NO MATTER WHAT.
