Three Reasons You’ll Love Makeover Games



Like to get dressed up? You’ll love makeover game.

1. There is a final product. Everyone likes to see something positive at the end of their efforts. With makeover games, you get to see your final product grow as you modify your choices, and then you can enjoy admiring what you’ve created.

2. You get to be creative.
There are less and less opportunities to be creative and makeover games are a good way to do so. Create your own looks and styles. You can even make up your own clothing options and accessories if you have the technical know-how.

3. The makeover games mean something in real life.
You might be playing a game online, but when it comes time to take what you’ve learned and use it in real life, only so many options really work. Makeover games teach you how to apply makeup for a certain look, and that is something you can use easily time and time again.

Why Do We Need Makeover Games?


I’m of a mind that we actually need makeover games. Sure, you might enjoy playing them, but some people need an opportunity to complete a makeover – even if it’s just in fun and not a permanent change.

Some games are permanent. You might have fun dressing up in new clothes for a makeover game, but in the next dressing room, a woman might be dressing herself for the first time since a major life changing event. Perhaps she’s lost 100 pounds or had a breast removed due to cancer. Whatever the issue, some people use makeover games as a way to feel good about themselves and start in a new direction.

We all need a pick-me-up.
Seeing you looking your best or in a totally different look is fun for almost everyone. We all need happy moments in life, and seeing how great you look in a different outfit or with a different style of makeup might be all it takes to show the world that you are there and ready to take on any challenge.

New Look for a New Love


It’s almost time for Valentine’s Day and you might already have a big date set up. Whether you do or not, you need to get ready for a day of romance and fun by doing a whole new look. It’s a new look for a new love.

Why a New Makeover?
A new look gives you a boost of energy and confidence, and Valentines Day is the perfect time to start feeling more confident and energetic. Valentine’s Day is centered on the girl, and most boys find a way to make it special somehow with a date of some kind. If he’s going out of his way to make the day special for you, you should go out of your way to look special for him.

The Right Makeover
Picking a new look can be tricky. As it’s a romantic occasion, most girls opt for a romantic look with long wavy hair and soft make-up. But an edgier look can work, especially if you’re doing something more fun and romantic. For example, catching your favorite band in concert requires a new look totally different than a romantic dinner by candlelight.

Moms and Makeover Games


Has your mother stood in the way of a good makeover game? Sometimes moms and makeover games simply don’t get along. It’s not your mother’s fault – she’s trained to look out for you and she might not understand why purple hair extensions are a good idea. But you do.

So explain to mom exactly why you feel like you need to play a version of a makeover game on yourself. If you can, show her the makeover games online and let her get a feel for what you’re trying to do. Surely she’ll be able to understand wanting to make yourself look more fun and stylish.

Of course, if you’re trying to do a makeover game that makes you look ten years older and would be considered racy or sexy, you can certainly count on your mom vetoing the whole idea. There are plenty of fun looks you can try that don’t have anything to do with short skirts and lots of skin. Stick with what you enjoy and you’ll be fine – Mom might even play along!

Prom Makeover Games


For many girls, prom is the most exiting night of high school A huge dance with a tremendous build-up. You’ll need a formal gown, a decent date, a fun or fancy car, a group of friends and of course, something to do after it’s all over – nobody goes home early on prom night!

Get the Dress
Prom fashion is the most important part of all, which is why there are so many magazines out with pictures of the different kinds of gowns that are in style right now. Browse through and find ones that you like. The rest of your prom experience might very well stem from the dress, and it might take months to find just the right one.

The Date Isn’t Important
Not to put down your boyfriend, but too many girls worry more about the date and finding him than they do about having fun. It doesn’t matter if your date is romantic or your best buddy. You can go with a group of friends or even by yourself. All that matters if that you go if it’s important to you!

Common Mistakes for Prom Makeover Games


When it comes to prom, girls have been known to lose their heads. For some, prom is almost as important as their wedding – only without a groom or that pesky lifelong commitment. But with any big event there will always be complications and ordeals to overcome. These are among the most common:

You make prom into something it can’t ever be. Those who watch classic movies like Sixteen Candles know that dances can be overrated. Prom is just another dance, but it’s a big one. Take some time to prepare, but don’t let it define who you are or who your friends are.

Prom doesn’t have to cost an arm or a leg. There is no need for a dress that costs hundreds of dollars or a limo to take you from here to there. Buy a beautiful but inexpensive dress and carpool in a big sedan borrowed from someone’s parents.

It’s not about keeping score. Some people get too wrapped up in whether or not they “score” on prom night. Prom should be a fun, possibly magical experience. There is no need for anything else.

When Makeover Games Go Wrong


Sometimes things go terribly wrong during a makeover. A full makeover usually consists of multiple parts including getting a haircut and style, new clothing, make up and some new accessories. When things go wrong, you wind up looking less like the vision you imagined and more like an odd collection of assorted parts.

Remove what you can. Fortunately, you have some options when it comes to the components of your makeover. Everything but the hair comes right back off again. Unless those doing the makeover threw away all of your old clothing, you can take off the new items and pull the old ones back on.

Scrub your face and get rid of the make up and then apply what you think is a better look. If you like one part and not the other, just leave the clothes on and change the make up or vice versa. If your hair has come out wrong, start by asking the stylist to fix it. If she’s not able to, visit another, more reputable stylist to see what can be done. Finally, you can just pull it back for a few months until it grows out again and you can try the whole process again.
