Fun with Makeover Games


If you’re looking for a good activity to play with your friends during a lazy afternoon or as part of a sleep over, tell each friend to bring a suitcase full of clothes (both favorites and not) and then do some serious makeovers.

To do a great makeover, you should let the person you’re making over have minimal input. The whole point of makeover games is to try out a look you normally wouldn’t wear – so live a little. Pick out an outfit for a friend combining what’s in your suitcase with what’s in hers. Add some accessories from various wardrobes.

Keep your friend away from the mirrors while you set to work on her hair and make up. Makeover games are the most fun when there is a great element of surprise. Give her a totally new style using a straightener, curlers, or hair accessories. Then apply her makeover.

Before letting your friend see her new look, take a few pictures. These will help you remember how much fun you’ve had and also give her a good visual to check out later when she’s deciding if she wants to wear the look somewhere beyond your bedroom. Then pull out the big mirrors and marvel in the finished product.
