Makeover Games and Springtime Fashions


Spring is in the air and this year, why not celebrate the warmer weather with a  bit of springtime magic of your own? Throw open your closet doors and find the styles that are not suited to your style or your body type. Throw them out. Then, dig a bit more and find anything that doesn't fit well or is stained. Toss those out as well. Now it’s time for some serious springtime makeover games. To start your makeover games, you’ll need a bit of inspiration, so perhaps you should sit down and enjoy a fashion magazine or two.

Then, armed with the necessary knowledge to make this season’s style work, you can start to enjoy the hunt through your closet to find the perfect outfit or the perfect accessories to dress up a favorite outfit you’ve already chosen. Often, if you simply head to the store looking for great accessories or a few key pieces, you can make a huge difference in how you look and feel without worrying too much about spending a small fortune in the process.

Makeover Games for Valentine’s Day


If there ever was a time for a makeover game, this is it. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I need a new look. I’m getting tired of being barely presentable every day, so I’m putting out some feelers on what might look or feel good to wear to school and around the house on the big day. Presumably, I’ll be wearing the products of my makeover games even longer than that – I’d like to continue my new look well into the future as well.

Since I’m not a big fan of make up, I’ll spend most of my makeover games on finding a style that is flattering for my figure, my skin tone and my lifestyle, while remaining perfectly comfortable as well. Comfort is, of course, hugely important to me. To start the makeover games, I’m going to throw out anything in my closet that isn’t comfortable, attractive or fresh. Then, I’ll take note of the gaps and go shopping. I’m buying things that look great and feel good on. Those are the items that make this sort of makeover game a huge success after all!

Makeover Games for Spring Dances


If you have a dance coming up in the spring, either a Valentine’s Day dance or Prom, there is a lot to do to be prepared. You’ll need to start by finding a dress, but as long as you’re getting ready for a big evening out, go ahead and play some serious makeover games. If you’re looking at your senior prom, you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime treat. You want to make it totally worthwhile and special – and that means you’ll need to look your absolute best.

Why not start with a big trip to a fashion store that carries formals? Bring along a close friend and the two of you get busy trying things on. You’ll want a dress that “speaks” to you, but often you can’t hear what the dresses are saying until you try them on. So get busy with some new styles and colors you might not have considered before. Starting your makeover games early in the season has another benefit. If you find that you can’t really find anything special, you have time to have a dress made just for you!

Makeover Games and Valentine’s Day


The most romantic (and cheesy) holiday of the year is a great time to enjoy trying out some new makeover games. After all, this is a night when so many of us have a special date to enjoy, and you might as well take some time to get ready and really enjoy pulling your look together for a special someone. When you play makeover games for Valentine ’s Day, almost anything goes – you just want to be sure that you’re comfortable for a fun evening.

Start by picking out what you’re going to wear. Your outfit should ideally match the venue you’ll be enjoying on your date. If you’re going casual, you’re going to wear something a bit different than if you’re planning to go to a formal dinner complete with cocktail dresses. Either way, you’ll want to plan your outfit carefully.

Then, if you have time, head to the salon for a new hairstyle or at least a professional blowout. While you’re there splurge on your nails and professional make up as well. Then, when you get home, simply slip into your new outfit and your makeover games are complete! You’re ready for your romantic evening.

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.
