What Does Your Hair Say About You?


The most noticeable aspect of your style, short of your clothing, is your hair. Your hairstyle says a lot about you and you want to be sure you’re making the right statement.

Long Flowing Hair
When you leave your hair long and flowing, it means you’re a romantic. Do you picture your hair flying behind you as you ride horses on a beach? Can you toss it around when you’re flirting? Long hair that is well maintained takes a lot of time and work, so a beautiful mane lets the world know that you’re a high maintaince kind of girl.

The Simple Look
There are two ways to be simple with your hair. One is to have it constantly pulled back and the other is to just let it hang as it pleases. If you do absolutely nothing to hair other than wash it, brush it and either let it dry or pull it back, you’re a simple kind of girl. This looks says you’re down to earth, not particularly self involved and often very on-the-go.

Short, Stylish Do
When young girls wear their hair short, they are often bucking the trends of long, youthful hair. Girls with short, stylish hair are fun and flirty – willing to take risks and not afraid of their own individuality. You like to experiment and are open to new ideas. Congrats on your independence!

Why Makeover Games?


Have you yet to have a makeover and can’t really understand why someone would want to play these silly makeover games? It’s quite simple really – they aren’t simple at all.

Build Self Esteem
When you see yourself at your best, your self esteem shoots up. Everyone likes to see how great they really look and often a change of clothing and a swipe of mascara can release previously unrealized potential. Knowing you look good not only to yourself but to others can give you confidence in all areas of your life making you a happier, more content person overall.

Find a New Look
Makeovers can also help you find a new look. It’s very likely that you’re stuck in a rut if you’re not out checking out new fashions. If that rut is working for you, you don’t have to leave it, but a makeover game can at least show you might you might be missing.

Girl Bonding
Finally, makeover games are a type of girl bonding unlike any other. When you put your life and eyelashes in the hands of a friend wielding an eyelash curler (have you ever even seen one of these instruments of terror?) you must have trust. And trust is the foundation of all great relationships.

Makeover Games: Makeover Your Mom


It’s very likely that your mom has settled into the kind of clothes she’s comfortable in. Unfortunately, those clothes are probably totally out of style. You, however, are totally stylish, and maybe it’s time the tables were turned. Why not show your mom a few ways to update your look – take her shopping!

Mom Makeovers

Before you run around picking out your kind of clothes in your mom’s size, remember that you are in two different generations. Cute teen clothes aren’t appropriate on adults. But the styles are similar between the two styles. Head online first to find a dress up game with all kinds of styles to be sure you know what you are looking for.

Take the Plunge

You and you mom can both practice online first before making the big trip. When you’re ready, head to a favorite clothing shop and work together picking out outfits. Grab a few individual trendy pieces appropriate for her age and body type, but try to find complete outfits so that she doesn’t just have a bunch or random clothes in her closet.

Remember that your mom will have a preference on what colors and styles she likes, but you can help her find new looks and styles. Help her break away from her normal, but leave her inside her comfort zone at least.

Ultimate Hair Makeover


If you want to make a dramatic different in your appearance, you should really do something about that hair. Grow it out, cut it off, try some bangs, but an ultimate hair makeover is enough to change your look completely – even if you wear the exact same clothes you’ve had for years.
Hair Makeover Games
Head online first to see what sorts of hairstyles are hot right now for kids your age. Then play some makeover games that let you try on different hair styles. There are actually some that let you take your own face from a picture and use it as the basis of a style to help you see what might look good on you.

Be Careful
Remember to be careful, however, with just picking out a look you like without considering the type of hair you have or your face shape. Some looks work best on round faces or squared faces. If you’re not sure what I mean, you can research your face shape here. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.)

Have Fun!
Most of all have fun. It’s summer now, so any hairstyles will have some time to grow out and change if you happen to not like the finished product. Try something totally new and then enjoy looking like a totally new you!

Research Your Summer Makeover


It’s time for a summertime makeover, and the best way to begin is by taking yourself online to see what the summer fashions are in both wardrobe and makeup. Why online? Because that’s where the makeover games are found.

Makeover games can help you find guidance on your own summer makeover in many ways. If you’re itching for a new look now that the weather is warmer and you don’t have to test it out at school, spend an evening online – here’s why:

Practice Makes Perfect – A makeover can be expensive and if you’re doing something dramatic, like changing your hairstyle, you only get one shot at getting it right the first time. Playing online with makeover games can help you find styles you like and dislike as well as how that kind of cut looks on someone similar to you.
Pick Favorites – You can choose your favorite looks without having to step foot in a dressing room or mall. Makeover games let you piece together outfits to find clothing that fits your new look. Then you simply make a list of what you like and buy with confidence.

It’s Fun – Makeover games are just fun to play. You might start out with some legitimate research, but soon you’ll find yourself having a great time.

Your Summer Makeover


It’s time for a new look! Summer is the best time to find a new you not only because you’re out of school, but because so many great things happen in the summer. Summer camp, summer love, and now a summer you!

Summer You
The new you should be someone you love to see in the mirror and someone who makes you feel good. Your look should be about bringing out the best in you, not trying to make you look like someone else or something else. Stay true to yourself, no matter what style you choose.

Research
You should do some research choosing outfits and styles you like. Your style might be totally different from what’s trendy right now and that is 100% okay. Style isn’t about trends so much as it is about finding a look that looks great on you and feels good, too.
Make the Change
When it’s time to make the change, go all out. Get your hair done and your nails, too – just for fun. Then grab a friend and head to the stores for your new wardrobe. Try things on and get her honest opinion. You want your new clothes to fit perfectly so that you’re looking your best all the time – not just with your stomach sucked in.

Rules of Makeovers


Makeover games are great fun, but sharing make up can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. Eye makeup especially can cause problems as there are so many little critters living on your eyelashes and sharing those with a friend might cause an infection. So when you’re playing makeover games, abide by these simple rules.

  • Bring your own mascara. Don’t put your eye germs into your friend’s eyes.
  • Bring your own lip gloss or apply using a brush that’s been cleaned. Same thing – if your friend is sick and germs are on her lips – they’ll be on yours, too.
  • Be gentle. Applying each other’s makeup is fun, but be sure you remember that you’re working on a real person – not an online makeover game.
  • Chunk the old stuff. Makeup has a shelf life. If your makeup is older than 12-18 months, you need to throw it out and buy some new items – especially mascara and anything that goes near your mouth or eyes.
  • Be friendly. You might love the newest look with wild black eye shadow, but be sure your friend is ready before you give her a wild look.
