Perhaps you’ve seen a hairstyle wander its way past you on the street that looked amazing, but that you would never have the guts to pull off.
Or maybe you’ve always wanted to know whether blondes really do have more fun. If you want to change your look or just have a bit of a laugh, www.makeoversolutions.com is sure to help!
The site is a compilation of makeup, accessories, hair styles and colours, even contact lenses, that you can either try on to a model’s face or, if you upload a photo, your own. It’s best to take advantage of the latter option because that is where all the fun lies – have you ever wondered what you’d look like with a purple buzz cut?
For best results you should take a relatively close up photo of yourself with a clean face and hair swept back, directly facing the camera. Once you have uploaded the photo all you have to do resize it, and trace your lips and eyes (this is a lot easier than it sounds, just moving a few dots around) before you can get started.
Once you’re in it pays to register by clicking on an option like ‘glamorous hairstyles’ and entering your email address and a password. You need to sign up for access to many of the hairstyles. After that you can try anything you want from changing your eye colour to shaving your hair off and it’s all fully recoverable with the click of the ‘start over’ button which more often than not is a huge relief!!
Overall the site is just a bit of fun, but it can spark some ideas too. I was surprised to learn that I look half-decent with short-ish hair, even though I’d still be too scared to try it. And I had fun doing makeovers for the certain friends and family members who never really asked me to, then printing out the ‘before and after’ shots for them.
Although the page has a lot of graphics I haven’t had any problems with it yet – and even if uploading your photo takes a few minutes, once it’s done it will appear whenever you log on unless you decided to delete it or replace it with another one.
The best part is that all the makeup on the site is listed by brand and colour name and is available in stores, plus the made over photo is easy to print out and take along to your hairdresser so you really can create your own look.
