Trying out different hairstyles and makeup can make you look like a science experiment gone wrong. You can minimize the experiment results by uploading your own photo to one of several free makeover sites. You can save your look on any of the sites or share your new look with friends and family via email or social media sites. Using a digital makeover allows you to try out new looks without ever having to wait for the green hair dye to grow out of your hair.
