Whether your sneaking into a private party, crashing the Oscars, or just keeping a close eye on your favorite star at all public appearances, shopping sprees, doctors appointment, social events, and any other place disguising your identity is key to successful tracking celebrities. Your disguises must be inconspicuous and diverse not to tip off their security people. You don't want to be recognized as that creepy character that has been lurking outside their house every night, watching them drop their kids off at school, and sitting in the drivers seat of that van that keeps tailing them on the highway.
What You Don't Want
Ski Masks
Ideal for a bank robbery, burglary, or general public massacre this black three hole knit ski mask is excellent for hiding your identity, but it makes you stand out as a trouble maker. Celebrities are typically found in a tropical or semi-tropical habitat where little to no clothing is required. In these climates people typically wear short sleeved shirts and shorts none of which look normal with a ski mask.
Ski Trip Exception
If the subject of your surveillance is skiing, snow boarding, or in a cold environment where it would be considered normal for wear a ski mask then by all means wear one.
Leather Gloves
Leather gloves like the Raider Black Large Leather Motorcycle Riding Glove are great for protecting your hands while riding a motorcycle, scaling barbed wire fences, or becoming the first Heisman Trophy winner to be charged with first degree murder, but are not ideal for following famous people. This is mainly because of reasons similar to why ski masks should be avoided. Leather gloves are typically out of place in tropical areas and generally make you look creepy as that guy wearing O.J. Simpson style gloves.
Cold Weather Business Suit Exception
In colder climates where a business suit and trench coat attire may be appropriate so too are leather gloves. In these scenarios a high priced suit and glove combination can make you look like a accomplished professional such as a lawyer, accountant, agent, etc.
Aviator Glasses
Aviator glasses are great for an 80s party, police officers, egotistical people in business suits, or movie stars themselves, but they are not ideal for blending in with a crowd. Aviator glasses like the Ray-Ban Unisex Aviator Craft Outdoorsman Arista Green Gradient Mirror Polarized RB3422Q-001/M9 model may make you look cool, but their tendency to reflect the sun at people in front of you and remind people of Michael Jackson (may he rest in peace) will get you noticed as that guy or gal wearing aviators and are not advisable for following famous folks.
What You Do Want
Make Up
Make up is ideal for altering your appearance in all social situations and climates. The right combination of foundation, eye liner, eye shadow, lipstick, and other face paint can make you look like a completely different person without the need for any additional clothing. Make up kits like the Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette provide a great start for becoming a cameleon as invisible to celebrities as stop lights and food.
Wigs
A good wig is a great start for changing your look whether your trying to cover a bald spot or woo Pamela Anderson. Wigs like the 18" Off Black,Dark Auburn Strawberry Blonde synthetic wig can turn a short haired red head into a long haired brunette. Other types of wigs can make you look like everything from a 70s used car salesman to a pirate in the Caribbean. Remember to select your wig carefully so that at least at first glance it appears to be both natural and socially acceptable hair.
Facial Hair
Whether you think you've been spotted and need to cover your face, want to prevent having your entire face seen, or want a disguise that can easily be disposed of in an emergency then fake facial hair like the Costume Zone 1 piece goatee beard is a great asset. Make sure to have your facial hair properly secured at all times with some sort of adhesive to prevent it from slipping off and exposing your face like a breast on the red carpet. The more realistic the better, you don't want to look like you are going to a Halloween party.
Sport Sunglasses
While aviator glasses are known to make you noticed sport sunglasses like the Oakley Men's Whisker Sunglasses can help hide your face and more importantly your eyes while looking good in the process. Shades like these make it easy to focus on a newspaper, magazine, or an object in the environment while keeping a constant eye on you person of interest. Without sunglasses people might notice your head pointed one way and your eyes pointed another. Remember not to use full blown shades for night time operations when transitions lenses are far better than looking like a weirdo who wears sunglasses at night.
