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?

Makeover Games for Teens


Teens are the most likely candidates for makeover games, and they are also the most likely to benefit from the games. With makeover games, the teens who choose to play are able to find their personal style and understand what sort of clothing and fit that they feel most comfortable in. Since the teen years are also especially challenging for teens, the opportunity to explore their own personal style is a chance to find a way to fit in and enjoy who they are becoming as they age.

Parents of teenage girls should take advantage of their child’s style confusion and fashion sense and help their young ones find a way through the difficult years with a bit of shopping therapy. Go out to the mall with your child and learn and explore what sort of fashions tend to draw them in. You want to find clothing that you deem to be appropriate, but at the same time, the clothing style should reflect what the kid thinks and feels – not what you want them to become. This is a fine line for parents, but makeover games can certainly help to breach that distance.

Makeover Games for Back to School


What are you going to do to get ready for back to school this year? Makeover games for back to school are a lot of fun, and they are best if you can find a friend to play with you. If you’re preparing for a big new year at school, consider coming up with a new version of your current look if you’re comfortable with your style. If you’re ready for a change, this is a great time to seek one out as well – be daring!

While clothing comes to mind first, put off shopping for new outfits until you do something about your hairstyle. Do you absolutely love your style? If you do, you’re all set for shopping. If you’d like to try a new look, changing up your hair is the fastest way to totally change your image. Try a non permanent hair dye (with permission) to give yourself a new color or change your length – go from long to short for an adorable pixie or add extensions for long, flowing locks. Only when you have a hairstyle you love, go shopping for the clothing to match.

Makeover Games and Travel


There is no better time to enjoy some makeover games than when you’re gearing up for some serious travels. Going on a trip means you have an excellent opportunity to prepare some pretty new outfits and buy a few things that you can wear just for the trip – and of course when you get back. Most of the time, buying things for a trip is second nature, but you can also take that idea and turn it up a notch if you’d like so that you’re playing makeover games on your trip.

For example, if you’re planning to travel somewhere with just a girlfriend who knows you well, why not dye your hair, get a new style and buy some daring clothing before you go? You can take on an entirely new personality while you’re out and about – away from your current lifestyle. Who knows? You may decide you like that lifestyle so much you decide to keep it when you get back!

Makeover Games and Money


Makeover games always appear to cost a lot of money when you watch them on television. On popular makeover show gives contestants a gift card worth $5,000 to spend on new clothes – you can’t possibly compete with that! Fortunately, real dress up games don’t cost $5,000. You can easily play some serious makeover games for less than $15 if you have some shopping savvy and a good friend along to help.

Start your makeover games with a hair style makeover. While you can spend more and get a full haircut and dye job, you can also swing by the beauty store and buy a $5 box of non-permanent hair dye. The dye washes out after about a month – or sooner if you hate it and wash your hair a lot. Get your friend to help you dye your hair the new color, and then together you can work on a new way of styling or arranging your hair so that you have a truly new look.

Then, take the rest of your $15 to the thrift store. Load up on clothes that fit and look funky for your new look. They may not be couture, but they are cheap and easy to wash and wear. Presto! Makeover games on the cheap!
