My Virtual Makeover
Have you ever wanted to have a makeover but weren’t sure what you wanted the end results to be? I go through this every time I even go to get a haircut. I’m always wondering what I would look like with a different hairstyle or hair color. It’s hard to look at magazines and hair style books and figure out if a particular style would look good on me or even work with my hair.
This afternoon I decided to try doing a virtual makeover. I uploaded a picture of myself and then my daughter and I played around with different hair styles, colors and highlights. This was a bit tough because the picture I uploaded showed my bangs which meant I had to choose a virtual style that had bangs. Other than that I was able to try out all sorts of new looks and colors. My daughter tended to like the oranges, she said she was trying to make me look 20 years younger! I said “no thanks!”. We finally settled on a style we could both agree on and then color and highlights. She went back and put in some lowlights too, very subtle. I was a bit nervous at first because I thought we could only choose from the celebrity hairstyles. I soon found another button to click though that gave me 5 pages of hair style choices. It was really neat to see all of them and convinced me to stick with shoulder length or shorter hair!
After completing the hair choices she did my makeup. She did lipstick with lipliner, a little eyeshadow and mascara. I was hoping there would be foundation to even out my skin tone, but there wasn’t. She did put some blush on my cheeks which helped.
This was a fun project, but I do wish I had started with a better picture of myself, maybe have my hair pulled back so I wouldn’t have to use particular styles. There are many helpful hints before uploading your picture, so if you do this, follow the tips!
