Makeover Games and a New Job


If you’re heading off to a new job that requires more than a name badge and hair net, you need to be prepared for the world you’re about to enter. Makeover games can do an excellent job preparing you for this intense world ahead, but you have to be willing to undergo some serious changes, even if they are just for the working hours.

Grown-up haircut. Your first order of business is to get a grown-up haircut. If you've had the same hairstyle for ten years, it’s time for a new one that looks professional.

Professional clothing. Your personal style should be about fit and flare, not comfort. Dress to impress every day in professional clothing – not something you would wear to class or around on the weekend.

Well groomed. Finally, you need to always put your best face forward after your makeover games. You want to stay well groomed and avoid unsightly eyebrows or chipped nail polish at the very least.

Makeover Games and Changes


The hard part of makeover games isn't playing around with fashion and make up. The hard part of makeover games is sticking to the new style that you've created. Often we develop our own personal style to cover up things or compensate for other characteristics that we’re not comfortable with. Weight gain is a particularly common issue that we hide with a frumpy, often unflattering style.

But suddenly when you start playing makeover games, you can see where your own style can be so much more attractive when you embrace and dress your shape. Yet even with that motivation, we tend to slunk back to that comfortable wardrobe and wear what works again rather than what we should be wearing. If you’re going to play some serious makeover games and make a difference in your overall wardrobe, start by throwing out your old, badly sized clothing. You don’t need them anymore anyhow.

Makeover Games and Glee


The latest episode of Glee showed up the power of makeover games. Kurt is making over his new life in New York by ignoring Blaine – which doesn't bode especially well for their future unfortunately. Brittany is still bouncing back from her rock-bottom performance as Brittany and finally Rachel shows us how it’s all done’ Blaine may have ditched his bow tie  but Rachel has redone her entire look to become sexier, more liberated and free.

Personally, I’m a fan of the makeover games on Glee. I think it’s nice to Rachel acting more like a true starlet in New York City, but you can tell she still is a bit awkward on the inside. It begs the question – do makeover games actually change your perspective and feelings on the inside? Or do makeover games just start the process for you – allowing you a chance to make your insides match your outsides a bit more fully?
