Warnings about Makeover Games


Makeover games are increasingly popular both online and off. You can’t watch a talk show without seeing someone get a makeover, and entire television shows are dedicated to making over people who need a bit of help with their style. But the popularity of makeover games does not make them perfect. Before you subscribe to a makeover game effort, be sure you realize what you’re truly getting into.

Makeover games are expensive. Playing makeover games can be extremely expensive. If you find yourself heading out for a new hairstyle or a new outfit every time you turn around, you’ll quickly run low on funds and find yourself halfway through a project. Fashion is wonderful, but it does cost quite a bit, especially when you’re starting from scratch, so pay attention to all of the details of what you’re spending to keep yourself on track.

Makeover games are addictive. Who wouldn’t like to see herself transformed from a duckling into a swan. The trouble is, that incredible moment of reveal only lasts so long. If you thrive on the feeling of newness and showing off a transformation, you might find yourself walking a very thin line between playful makeover games and something more serious.
