Makeover Games and Haircuts


If you’re tired of your current look, all you might really need is a new haircut. Getting your hair cut and styled makes you look like a totally new person and it’s usually much less expensive than investing in a new wardrobe. Makeover games that include a brand new hairstyle are always a good choice and there is a lot of possibility for what you can do if you’re contemplating something well outside your current comfort zone.

There are two schools of thought on makeover games that include haircuts. Some people would advise you to make choices that are more in line with the look you've had for a long time. A dramatic change can shock your system and throw you off in a big way. Of course, by that same token, if you choose to make a look that is less dramatic, you may not feel satisfied with the results of your expensive new haircut and then you’ll simply have to make new choices and make even bolder choices the next time around.

Makeover Games and Pinterest


What I’d really like to see on Pinterest is a board dedicated to real people who are creating makeover games in real life. How many of us are fascinated by changing styles and clothing and just getting through life with a slightly different edge or approach? Yet we still have to tune into Oprah or the like to find someone enjoying makeover games. I vote we start our own games by making over ourselves and our friends.

Take a quick picture for your “before” and then get to work on your clothing, hair and make up. Shop for something that feels great on and get it altered to fit perfectly. Then, get a new hairstyle, put on a bit of make up and take some new pictures in a flattering light. Once you have your new pictures, pair the two up side by side to see how closely they resemble each other. Most likely you’ll have something really fun to share. Splice the pictures together in Photoshop or even Clipart and then upload them to Pinterest so that everyone can enjoy the makeover games with you!

Makeover Games for Little Girls


Little girls are great participants in makeover games. Everyone likes to look different and feel pretty, so makeover games are a great option for playing with your little sister or your babysitting charges. Playing with makeover games is simple with little girls - they don't usually know just how much is required to be fully dressed or wear a full face of make up.

That means you can get away with putting on a shade of lipstick and a bit of eye shadow on your little sister and she may think she is fully made up. You then have the additional option of putting on a bit of blush or even some mascara to really make her feel special. Do a quick braid or up style and you'll have some beautiful little girls who feel beautiful, too. Not to mention that those same little ones will be convinced that you're the coolest girl ever.

Makeover Games and Long Hair


There is no rule that states that your long hair must be worn down. In fact, if you have long hair, you may have a lot more fun wearing it up more often than wearing it down. You long hair can mean many things. For one, it’s a very attractive, even sexy look to have long hair – but you don’t always want to look super sexy. Sometimes you might prefer to look professional or pulled together in a school girl sort of way. That’s when the makeover games really kick in.

To look great with makeover games, you only need to take ownership of your long hair and decide how you want to style it each day. For example, you might decide to braid it back one day and then wear it in long waves the next. A look with straightened hair is always fun, and of course there is the option to simply wear it back in a bun or a ponytail. With so many different styling options, there are almost no limits to what you can do with long hair and makeover games.

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?
