- Transforming yourself with a new look online is how a virtual makeover works. You upload your picture onto a virtual makeover website and then change your make up colors, hair color, hair style and eye color with virtual contact lenses. Giving yourself a makeover in the virtual world before getting one in the real world helps you determine the right look for you. It is better than going out and dying your hair blonde only to find out that you really should have stayed with a darker color for your hair. You can also find out how you should do your make up in the real world by trying it out first with your virtual makeover. This will help you decide what colors fit your skin type best, how much makeup to use and how eyeliner and lip liner will look on your face.
- Take a picture of yourself with your hair tied back or pushed back away from your face. This picture will be used as your face base in a virtual makeover. Upload your photo onto the website that has a virtual makeover tool. You will be asked to edit your photo by pulling and clicking on lines that frame your face, eyes, lips and cheek bones. Doing this will make the makeup application on your virtual face easier. The reason you have your hair pushed back in your photo is that it makes the hairstyle application easy, since you may choose a style that has an up do or bangs. You will be able to see exactly what your face will look like with each chosen hair style.
- Take your time with the virtual makeover process to get the best look for you. Some virtual makeover sites have celebrity looks you can choose from as well as individualized looks. You can also choose from pre-set color palettes, or you can use specific items from each palette to make your virtual look unique. Start with your makeup look first. Begin with foundation, if one is applicable, eye shadow, eye liner, blush and then lip liner and lipstick will make your make up look complete. You can choose different shades of eye colors with virtual contact lenses, and you will also have the option to add glasses if you wear them. Select your hairstyle next by going through each look or narrowing it down to what you think you want or what would look best with the hairstyle that closely resembles the one you already have. Using a virtual makeover to get the right look should be a fun and simple process, so make sure the one you are using has easy instructions to follow.
