Make Over FUN! And Magic Too!

By CountryDutchess.com

Okay, let's see a show of hands:

How many of you have lusted after that too fabulous brunette Katie Holmes bob - but were scared to death to shore off your own long blond tresses?

And how many of you have secretly always wanted to be a beach blonde ...but wouldn't dare take the plunge for fear of looking like Baywatch 1985?

And finally, how many of you have spent HOURS and we mean HOURS online searching for the perfect make up shade, only to have it arrive and ...well, you know the rest. There's a drawer in your bathroom vanity overflowing with product and color mistakes!

Well...what if we told you there was not only a way to avoid all those color/product mishaps - but also find the absolute perfect shade of everything from foundation to blush to eye liner and shadow, lipstick and gloss .... AND try on a zillion new hair colors and hair dos ....ALL WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR COMFY BED????

Well you can do it! And you can do it for FREE at RealBeauty.com - the most sensational new website with a beauty tool so revolutionary it will 4Ever change the way you shop for , well, just about any make up or hair coloring ( or cut or style) around!

To play the new "do -it-yourself- make-up-maven" simply upload a photo to the site ( which by the way is super fast and soooo easy ). Or if you don't have one handy, just grab an image off your webcam or use one the images they provide that most looks like you.

Then, press one button and be presented with a dazzling array of NAME BRAND make up products in all the most popular colors - which, magically, mysteriously, almost downright mystically you can apply to your picture, with just ONE CLICK ! ( And by the way, make sure you notice the slider bars under the palette selections which allow you to control how much make up you want to apply!

Brands include MAC, Smashbox, Cargo, Estee Lauder, ELF, Covergirl, Olay, Almay, Stila - and many more - all in the newest, most popular shades!

You can choose eye shadow colors, mascaras, liners, blush, bronzers, lipsticks and foundations - and vary the coverage as well as the intensity.

Then when you're all done, select a fabulous new hairstyle - and, well, you'll hardly know it's you!

We tried it - and here is the results:



Can you Believe IT? We couldn't, so we tried it again!

And again!

TOO MUCH FUN!

Now if you're dying to jump right over to RealBeauty.com and give it a try, we don't blame you! But to make sure you get great results, here are few tips.

1. Think of your face as a blank canvas - so choose a photo where you are wearing the least amount of make up possible. If you can take one with a freshly scrubbed face you'll get the most true results in terms of choosing make up colors and foundation coverage.
2. If you choose a photo where your hair is pulled back off your face you'll have the widest selection of new hair styles to choose from. Hint: Only a few styles have bangs so if your photo has bangs they're going to be in every picture.
3. Photos which feature head and shoulders to about mid bustline work best in terms of spacing new hairdos and touches like lashes. If you find that the lashes are place too far off your face, choose a different photo.
4. Pictures where you are facing straight out forward work best for choosing hair styles.
5. Don't overlook the pink button that lets you resize your face when trying on hair styles. It's easy to use and keeps your new portrait from looking like your 5 year old niece went bonkers with crayons!

Now a few cautions:

1. The system isn't perfect and you may need to try a few different photos before you net the one that works best.
2. There is an ultra annoying pop up screen that appears on the lower portion of the make over page that continues to POP UP at maddening rate. The best way around this: Use your scroll feature to get your makeover picture as high up as possible so you can ignore the pop up screen. By the way, joining does not make it go away.
3. The makeover tool is not obvious when you first arrive at the site. You'll have to highlight "Skin and Make UP" first and then click on the first link : "Instant Make Up Makeover". You'll have access to all the tools including hair styles.
4. Skip hair color. This is the one tool that's not perfected. Instead of changing your hair color it just puts a murky funny looking shadow on your entire picture. That said, some head shots do work better than others, so it might be worth giving it a try.

So, there you have it! Instant makeover magic - and a way to finally get that "Should I be a platinum blonde" thought out of your head once and for all! Now you can be ....without getting all that stinky bleach in your eyes ! ;)
