Yeah, I don't even frequent, let alone post, in this forum but once in a blue moon, but I've also never gotten professionally made over in my life, and was interested in feedback 'cause I'm such an attention whore.

Short story: I turned 16 on the 14th a little bit back, so today, me and Mommy Dearest (since she wasn't busy and they had an opening) went to Macy's this evening and got me a makeover, just to see what it was like.

Before (this pic is a couple months old):



After:




...

Gorgeous eyes, and the makeup looks very natural. That's the way to do it.

You look great.

very pretty

you look gorgeous, especially your eyes!

welcome to GD

oh my gosh... you lucky lucky girl you!!
those lashes are killer.

you look marvelous!
too bad it wasn't saturday so you could go bat those babyblues at the boys
were they nice and told you how to do what they did on your own?

Very nice

Very nice...emm is right, you have fantastic eyelashes. And that lipgloss color is great.

What line of make-up was it? (I guess Stila.)

emm said:

Thank you! , and thanks to everyone else, too.

Yes, they did, actually, and I also got a bunch of skin care products so I can keep the acne at bay. Honestly, I'm a little tomboyish (not to mention nerdy ) and am not crazy about makeup and the like, but given how surprised I was at the results of my Macy's session, I may consider using it a tad more often in the future.

To Puppy: The makeup brands/lines escape me at the moment. I'll have to ask my old lady again.

the change is subtle yet effective...you have a very kate winslet look going on...

now, on to the important stuff...time for new eyebrows and haircut...afterwards you will complete your transformation to:

Beautiful face indeed.


Love your eyes.



You should Rock the Toni & Guy pixie cut.

Love your george harrison Avie..

Yum

i see no acne... you look like you have great skin
(says the 33 year old that just felt a zit on her chin...)

if there is something you can do to keep your pores tight do it
i don't know if that's possible but i do wish mine were smaller
be gentle to it and protect it from sun damage!
oh and don't smoke and drink lots of water

mascara and lipstick are my two favorite items in my makeup bag

not in those colors!

AsianBomb777 said:

you ass...

you know what squid? you and kate have the exact same mouth...its erie...im telling you, get the eybrows tweezed and a new hairdo and them boys (or girls depending on which way your float parades) will be drooling...

wow you are gorgeous before and after

evenstar3 said:

Oh yes!

I love women who rock that look.

AsianBomb777 said:

i think the color of her hair in the pics is prettier

AsianBomb777 said:

you know that occured to me too that her face would suit a short cut


you realize you have been photoshopped by the photoshop king??

evenstar3 said:

Yeah. The color isn't important.
Her skin tone can pretty much go darker or even towards blonde.
But a high maintenance bed-head pixie cut is tres

sosgemini said:

Yeah, I have them bushy, now-where-are-those-tweezers? eyebrows goin' on. Never bothered to do anything to do 'em 'cause I'm so kick-back and un-, like I said.

Thanks for the advice, though. You weren't the first one to offer it.

AsianBomb777 said:

Oh, god...

purplerein said:

Me too.

squiddyren said:

you are 16!... it is much nicer to see natural brows on a 16 year old
than to see them plucked too much or an unflattering shape...
besides once you start the maintanance is never ending
you have lovely shaped brows

squiddyren said:

no prob...but i get the feeling your dismissing my advice here...take a look at kate one more time:



and take a look at yourself:



you look just like her.


[Edited 11/26/06 18:02pm]

you SO TOTALLY have a kate winslett thing going on. the only big improvement i see in the makeover pic is the hair. i really like what they did to it. other than that, i think you're just as pretty in one pic as you are in the other.

sosgemini said:

where's that dook video when i need it!
sos she's 16

emm said:

oh please...there was just a thread about plucking and the majority of the women who posted on it agreed that plucking was a must for woman...are you going to advocate that girls shouldnt shave their pits too? or should guys not shave?

emm said:

and? im not advocating breast implants...im just saying what most woman advocate...tweezin!!!

Anx said:

Why, thank you. My hair in the second pic is definitely better than in the first, probably because I brushed it and in the first pic, I was just about to go to bed.
