How to Get a Hollywood Makeover

Most people would love a Hollywood makeover. Many want to look like a celebrity & walk the red carpet but will never get the opportunity. There are a few shows that offer free makeovers but then you have to be on TV & the hosts will probably embarrass you. Here is how to get a Hollywood makeover on a budget.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Draw the line. Most of the Hollywood starlets are extremely skinny, to the point that it's unhealthy. Many celebrities only eat raw foods. One celebrity even admitted that she's constantly hungry & only eats yogurt & granola bars. You can definitely go overboard with this look, so you need to draw a line right from the start with how far you will go.

2. Tone your arms. A top model says that she never lifts more than five lbs, so you don't have to lift massive amounts just to have great looking arms. People in Hollywood rarely wear anything with sleeves on it so your arms need to be in shape.

3. It's all about the smile. Smile an open mouthed smile as often as you can. You might realize how little you smile if your cheeks start to hurt, but with a little practice you'll have it down.

4. Notice how celebrities stand. Most celebrities pose at an angle because it makes them look thinner & curvier at the same time.

5. Have an air of confidence about you. Have good posture & practice walking in heels. Be properly fitted for a bra instead of undergoing surgery.

6. Wear dresses & heels in the summer. If you wear jeans make sure they fit well in addition to being comfy. You don't' always have to wear an evening gown to have a Hollywood look. Just make sure that you are a little more dressed up than you usually are in case the paparazzi start following you.

7. Look healthy. A big part of the Hollywood image is selling a perfect life. Get plenty of rest & drink lots of water.

8. Customize it to your life. Sure, pink hair looks great on the girls from LA Ink but consider the reaction you will get. Try spraying in color so you can get used to how people will treat you before you make the big commitment.

Tips & Warnings

• If you aren't comfortable with the health risks associated with tanning, try a mineral bronzer for a healthy glow that is actually healthy.
