The Surprise Makeover Game


The next time you’re at a slumber party, skip all the silly antics with fingers in warm water and shaving cream in hands. You don’t really want to make your friend wet her paints or get soap in her eyes. Instead, think of her early sleep as a way to beautify her.

Once she’s in a deep sleep, very carefully and lightly apply some base and powder to her face. A sleeping face is easy to work on in some regards as she is likely to be very still and her face will be very smooth - no smile or frowning.

Keep your movements very light and deliberate. You don’t want to waste any strokes that might wake her up while you work. While it might be nice to give her a fresh face for morning with light, carefree make-up, she’s much more likely to notice if you do a more dramatic look for evenings.

Of course leaving make-up on your skin for a long time can be bad as it can clog pores, so look at your bottles to find the mixtures designed to be gentle on the skin and to prevent break-outs. If you know your friend has trouble with acne or other skin problems, skip the base, powder and blush. Just us eye make-up and a good, non-smudge lip stick to give her a look she’s be proud of – even if she’s barely awake when she first sees it.
