This is an amazing make-over because it looks natural and soft. All the colors compliment each other....very nice!!

Kudos to the team of stylists!!I Iabsolutly love how her new highlights really bring out her blue eyes. My only consern is that she says in the morning all she wants to do is throw her hair in a ponytail and go, to me her new make over seems to have more mantence then she wanted. but then again who could look that great by just rollin out of bed? not me:) ~LaRissa

by sounicka Monday, February 7, 2011 at 02:16PM Report as inappropriate

she looks nice. I like her hair.

by amy6 Monday, February 7, 2011 at 01:15PM Report as inappropriate

Agree. This is the best makeover ever. Loved how they honored her desired looked. She had great features to work with in the beginning, but totally upgraded her look. WOWZAA! Can I get a totalbeauty makeover!

Nice!

This is probably the best makeover before and after I've seen. Standouts are 1. It doesn't look they did anything to make her look bad in the before pic. Yes their is a bit of a softer light in the after pic but that's minor. Two, they kept true to her laid back style. I hate when makeover take a rocker chic and put her in office wear or similar. 3. The makeup and hair look fairly simple like something she can and actually will keep in real life. The fact that she's very pretty doens't hurt either.
