Virtual Makeovers

I have found that a website that’s kept me under its spell for way longer than I’d anticipated.  I‘ve been to this kind of site before and the results are generally poor, so I never hang around long.  But this particular site had me impressed, amused and addicted.

The site is MakeoverSolutions.com.  You get to sign up for a free account, upload an image of yourself and then you move on to the really fun part: making yourself over.  New hairstyle?  Different make-up?  A bit of punky look, perhaps?  Add some earrings or a hat too!  The sky’s the limit.

Should I go blonde?  Ummm, no.

So I started by creating my account and then uploading the best, full-face image of myself that I can find.  Then I followed through the website’s set-up wizard and marked the image with their pointers to determine where my eyes and mouth were, as well as the shape of my face.

Too shaggy!

After that, I chose hair and “tried on” a huge range of styles and colors, highlight and lowlights.  Then I moved on to make-up.  I ended up looking like a bit of hussy and had to tone it down a bit.  It’s very easy to get carried away.  I added a beautiful blue flower to my hair and voila!  After a few failed attempts at making myself gorgeous, I finally settled on this lovely makeover.  What a knock-out I am!

And if you check out their Makeover Gallery, you can see how other visitors have been made over.

On Friday, I’m getting highlights in my hair for the very first and I think I’ll play around with this site a bit more to see if I can determine which color I should go for.
