A Great Makeover Game


A great makeover game can mean many things to different people. To me, however, a great makeover game has to have the following:

Friends - I like to play makeover games with my friends. I like to have someone there to support me when I'm going through the different elements in my closet or though the dressing rooms at the mall. I also like to have my friends play makeover games, too. This means we'll be doing it together which is always a lot of fun.

Fashion - Fashion is absolutely essential when you're playing makeover games. Makeover games are centered on fashion, and having the right look at the right time is a critical part of the game. In fact, if you play makeover games with clothes you already have, you'll certainly notice the difference about what is shabby and what is not. There is always something about new clothing that makes an outfit really stand out.

Saving Value - I think a makeover game should also be worthy of saving. I always bring my camera along so that we can take pictures of ourselves and enjoy them for months.

The Secretes to Makeover Games


Makeover games have been around for a very long time, and everyone loves to watch the makeover games on television shows. But unfortunately, those makeover games have a few secrets that aren’t often discussed off the set.

Makeovers games are for a day only. Instead of teaching the makeover contestant how to style her hair or do her make up in a certain way, the person is made over only for the show. This means that the style and indeed the makeover will likely only last for a day or two. This is a sad reality, especially because the makeovers are supposed to be such a tremendous life change.

Makeover games aren’t always fair. Nothing in life is truly fair, and that is true of the makeover games as well. When you play makeover games, you can expect something good to come of it. But if you’re the subject of a makeover game on television you might endure embarrassment over your current look, feel ashamed and then not have very much changed once you’re through the embarrassment part of the proceedings.

Three Types of Makeover Games


Makeover games are a great way to spend time in the summer when you’re bored or when you’re feeling a bit antsy for a change. There are different kinds of makeover games you can play as well.

At home makeover games are great because you’re able to try on your own clothing in different ways and style your hair in any crazy style you want without anyone knowing about it or thinking you’re odd because of it. Playing makeover games at home is even more fun if you invite a friend over and play together.

Makeover games at the mall. The typical mall has everything you need to enjoy makeover games. You can get your hair cut in a new trendy style. You can get your make up done at any one of the various make up counters in a department store. You can also buy a new outfit that flatters your figure and is fun to wear. Malls really do have it all, and most of them let you play in the air conditioning which is an added bonus.

Makeover games at slumber parties. The best makeover games are the ones played at slumber parties. Have some friends over and settle down with fashion magazines and everyone’s make up. Then enjoy hours of fun making friends look like magazine pictures – or as close as you can get using what you have available.

Makeover Games and Your Parents


While you absolutely love playing makeover games, you’re parents might not find the make up and enthusiasm for change quite as exciting as you do. After all, you’re working hard to look older and more mature through a new look including make up and hairstyles. Your parents are probably quite content with you just the way you are. This naturally puts many girls at odds with their parents.

When you start to play makeover games, you can avoid some of the drama by including your parents. Let your mom look through hair magazines with you or go with you to the store to buy some new makeup or hair accessories. By including your mother at least in the makeover game process, she’ll see that it’s all for fun, and that you’re not really interested in having pink hair for the rest of your life.

Of course, you might be lucky enough to have a parent who really understands how much fun makeover games can be and will help you really get creative. If your mom is willing, why not try a truly different haircut or find some edgy clothing to wear to school one week. There are many parents who might even decide they like a look on you so much that they want to try it out themselves – hopefully you won’t wind up with two goth parents.

Fixing Common Makeover Game Problems


There are problems with any game, and makeover games are no exception. Getting used to the way the games are played online is one thing, but when you’re looking at over plucked eyebrows in the bathroom mirror, you have a much bigger mess on your hands.

Makeover games are complex. The best games are complicated ones and makeover games are no exception. When you play makeover games, you’ll have to narrow down choices on clothing styles, hair options and make up selections. The process of playing is tiresome, but wonderful. If you feel the games are too complicated, simply take more time working on them. Start by choosing an outfit and then choose make up and hair styles that suit that outfit.

Makeover games have unexpected results. Sometimes when you play makeover games, you wind up with things you weren’t counting on. A simple trim to your bangs winds up with no bangs at all and your badly plucked eyebrows are showing. Learn to take your time with makeover games and always call for help when you need it – even if you’d rather try it yourself.

The Worst Things about Makeover Games


There is nothing better than a new look, but sometimes that new look comes with a price tag – literally and figuratively. The makeover games available are fun and interesting online and when you play makeover games at home or at the mall, you can have even more fun plus learn new things about yourself.

Makeover games are expensive. Playing make up games online is free unless you have a membership, but to play makeover games with your friends or at the mall with the help of a sales lady, you’ll be looking at a rather steep price tag. Of course, you’d hope the price of the makeup would make it worthwhile, but that is not always the case.

Makeover games are messy. Makeup and hair products are wonderful things, but when you and three friends get together to create, it’s very simple to make a mess. Your bathroom and bedroom look like a hurricane hit and cleaning up the spills and drips isn’t much fun either.

Makeover games don’t last. Finally, when you play makeover games, you have a chance to really change things and see yourself in a new light. Unfortunately, that new look rarely lasts past the day or week you tried it. But that just leaves you open to try again another day.

Makeover Games and Your Mind


Makeover games are a great way to exercise your mind. Your mind needs exercise just like the rest of you, and online makeover games are a nice way to do exactly that. Play makeover games and learn creativity and stretch the limits of your brain in challenging new ways.

Makeover games help you exercise your creativity. Creativity is something that every child is born with, but as you age, your creativity is lost in most cases. Playing games such as online makeover games help to practice that kind of creativity.

Makeover games also let you experience a challenge. Your brain loves to figure out puzzles and puzzles are exactly what you’ll find in a series of makeover games. When you piece together outfits and styles you’ll be trying new things and finding new combinations. As you picture things in your mind and work to find the ultimate solution, you’ll be in the best position to learn and develop new lines of thought.

Makeover Games on a Budget


Makeover games can be expensive with the cost of makeup and new clothing. You can still have a good time playing makeover games without a great deal of spare cash, however. Start your makeover games at a local beauty supply shop.

When you’re playing makeover games, you don’t need the best quality make-up. If you use the inexpensive stuff to play games, your face will look great and your budget will still be in place. Inexpensive makeup will supplement the pieces you already have as well. Base and powder don’t need to change when you’re trying a new look. Once you have a foundation set up, you need only change the colors you use on your face to make a new look.

Makeover games also include new clothing. The clothing doesn’t have to come from the mall. Borrow something from friends or head to a flea market, thrift shop or a garage sale to see what you can find to wear during the makeover.

Finally, your hair will need a new style. If you plan on cutting your hair, you’ll want to use an inexpensive hairdresser to make the cut. If you plan to color, be sure you use a colorist you’ve tried before. You’d hate to waste money on a bad color job.
