Makeover-Do you need one

Makeover-Are you ready?

Sometimes we need to change the way we look to help us feel better and more confident about ourselves. A makeover could be just the thing you need. It could be something as simple as a hair cut or color to changing our makeup. These little fixes can really make our confidence soar. There is only one problem...Finding the right thing to change and that it works for us. I decided one time to dye my hair a beautiful auburn color, at least that's what it showed on the box. When I had finished dying it and pulled the towel off of my head, I was shocked to see my hot pink hair in the mirror. I had to pull my hair up in a ponytail and hide it under a bandana just so I could allow myself to feel somewhat publically accepted as I made my way through the grocery store to find a dye to fix my "color" problem.

How to Find what Changes will work for You!

Back then, there really was no surefire way to figure out how a hair color or cut would look on you. You just had to try it and if it didn't work, hope either your hair will grow out fast or try and find a cover up color. One of the really cool tools now for a makeover is offered on the Internet and can cost as little as nothing to use. These are called virtual makeovers. You can use a model that the site offers or you can pull your hair back away from your face and take a digital picture of yourself to upload. This way, you can change hair styles, hair color, and makeup. You can see how different things look on you before you buy them. I have been on many different sites and played around with all sorts of colors and cuts. If you are interested in seeing what you would look like if you changed something about your appearance or just want to see what you would look like with a whole new makeover, then you should stop by one of these sites. Some of them also offer a section where you can try celebrity hairstyles on your picture. I have had fun with this one. Below is a list of places to get free online makeovers.

Taaz.com

This is a great site and my #1 pick for virtual makeovers. It is free and easy to use. It offers hundreds of different hairstyles as well as many colors for make up. When you pick a color, it actually tells you what brand and shade that color is, so if you like it, it would be easier to find when you go shopping. This site actually allows you to add the shape and contour of your facial feature easily to make sure that when the color is added, it is only placed on certain areas (such as the lips or eyeshadow are). On this site, you can actually save your finished makeover picture to your computer. It also allows you to pick celebrity hairstyles to try on. I think this is the only one that allows you to do that.

CoverGirl.com

This is a very good site for performing a virtual makeover. It offers many of the same things as Taaz does but from a well know and respected brand. This would probably be my second choice when it comes to makeover ideas. They usually tell you what to buy in their brand only though. This is okay because they do have a great brand. But there could be other cool colors you would like to try in other brands as well and offer beauty tips.
CoverGirl.com
Offers an area on tips for applying your makeup. Check it out!

Clairol.com

This is the last site I will mention. I enjoy using Clairol.com because it is very easy to use. It is simple, fun, and also offers many ideas and tips to help you along the way of giving yourslef a pick me up or changing your look altogether. It is also from a well respected brand.
Clairol.com
Offers a great makeover tool to help you find what's right for you!

Try It for Yourself!

The sites listed above are free to use. They will help you find out what colors and styles will work for you. I like to get on there sometimes and just have fun, trying new colors and styles. I have to admit that some make me laugh, but it's pretty neat how much you can actually change the way you look. There are also many free websites that offer free makeup tips and tricks that can help you apply your new shades. YouTube offers many videos that actually show you step-by-step how to apply makeup or create hair styles. It's worth checking it out and you'll have fun, too.

    This is a great idea for a lens. it's amazing how just a small change (or new make up item) can make us feel so uplifted. My favorite gift now for a woman going through a tough time is to send her some makeup...rather than flowers. Especially if a woman is depressed, just giving her a new lip gloss can work wonders (after a doctor's care of course)

    What fun to try different looks, I don't wear much makeup but do enjoy it and a hair style change now and then. I had quite long hair for years, went short and now I'm more at a medium length.
