How should I do a complete make-over for myself?

Question

I am told that I am pretty but I feel so ugly and different from everyone else. I want to do a make-over for myself...but still be unique.

First, my hair is extremely curly and I hate it. I get compliments from girls but guys I know don't like curls. Blow drying doesn't work...is there a quicker way? (Without completely losing my curls forever...my mom won't go for that)

Also, my eyes are round and I don't like how they look. I need more options for make-up as I don't know too much.

What would you all suggest? (PS - The last picture was my hair after 3hrs. of straightening...and its still curly)

Answer 1

It's absolutely not true that men don't like curly hair. Men can be insanely picky about things like chest size or full hips, but they don't care one bit about hair (unless they're blonde obsessed) as long as its long, pretty, and natural looking.
Your curls are almost perfect but It looks like they're sometimes slightly frizzy. Use a curling cream, a diffuser, and some shine spray after words. Curling cream won't make your hair more curly, no matter what the bottle claims, it will just define your curls and make them shiny. Your lucky to have a complexion that allows you to wear makeup easily. A bright, sheer, bubblegum pink gloss would look utterly natural and glowing on you (It looks like donut frosting on my olive complexion). A ballerina pink cream blush would match perfectly and look just as natural. Any nude or silvery light-colored frost would work on your eyes. because your so light skinned, you could line the inner rim of your eyes with white eyeliner. It will brighten your eyes beautifully, but no one will notice why. Finish off with a taupe liner on the outer third of the eyelid, and some brown mascara on curled lashes. By the way, if you ask guys how you look they will feel embarassed and want to tease you, especially if they like you. Don't expect a guy friend to calmly tell you anything useful about how you look.

That last pic, sexyyy. lol. You're a pretty girl :)
As for a complete make over, why?! There's no need.
I think you'll look really nice with natural shades of make up. Like gold eye shadows, or even light greens. Some shimmer, and mascara and you're good to go.
And for your hair, my hair is naturally curly too. But we've got different hair textures. When I straighten my hair, I blow it dry, and then flat iron it. It takes about an hour. Do you use a flat iron? If not, you should invest in a really good one, it'll work wonders.

FIRST OFF U HAV A BEAUTFUL FACE!!
i promise..and if ur hair is naturally curl u need to embrace it becuz if u try straightin it it will only make it frizzy and puffy and that will look worse!!!!! otherwise u could go a salon and get it profestionaly straightend.
and if u dont liek the look of ur eyes use dark brown or black eyeliner and line the top and make it point out a little at the ends..like the cateye..it will make them more almond shape..i suggest peach blush and a peachy lipstick for u..it would look great on u..and try sum new hairstyles! experiment and see what looks good!!

Answer 4

You are pretty and you look like Mariah Carey in her early career days. I would look her up on Mariah Carey.com and look at some of her pics when she was younger.I think your hair may need to be trimmed a LITTLE bit. I think you would look great with violet hues eyeshadow and dark blue eyeliner pencil. I think berry blush and cranberry lipgloss/lipglaze from Avon would look great.Your hair should have curl if it does not want to straighten out. I would not play with nature.

Answer 5

Well i think you should be yourself but if you must make yourself over try going and getting your hair permed straight. Try eyeliner for the eye thing and ask someone what season you are for colors. Also self esteem and confidece are 3 forths of looking pretty good luck

Answer 6

Use a flat iron to smooth out the curls.If you have a mall in your area..go to the cosmetic dept. of a big store like Macy's and ask them to put make up on your face.They do a great job and you'll look like your ready for a glamour shot.Plus it's free :)

Answer 7

Hey, the 1st step in starting the makeover process is by loving yourself and excepting any flaw that you have. 2nd step is to completely do it for yourself, not for your friends, not to get friends, not to get a guy. 3rd. Keep your curly hair but go to a stylist for advice on how to shape it or keep it in a style. Or you can do what I do alternate, between curly and straight hair styles.

Answer 8

First of all, you're totally gorgeous. I'm jealous of your eyes.

To straighten your hair you can get treatments at salons that will last for a few months. You could also try one of these products:

I'd use green or dark blue liners on your eyes, one coat of mascara (not too much because it should just compliment your eyes, not distract from them), and neutral colored shadow. Gray would look great on you.

Good luck!

Answer 9

On you, I would defiantly say, go get your hair professionally straightened. I can really picture you with straight hair. I would say a medium-light brown with highlights. Minimal make-up, I think you have a really pretty face.

Hope that helped!

Answer 10

i bet you any money the straightener your using is the problem. if its conair or something that you got at a store like k mart.. then pitch it. straighteners are one of the few things that you have to splurge on. chi straighteners are the best. you just have to section your hair off and be patient. yes, it will take you a while, but it will be worth it! other than that, your gorgeous.
