Love the after! Great job.

I love before and after looks. Its fun to see an "every day " woman get a little boost in her looks. I love her hair color / highlights.

i like the shape a lot, but not the color. I'd go for warm chocolate to bring attention to her eyes.

What a lovely makeover

by LittleBunny Monday, November 7, 2011 at 12:04PM Report as inappropriate

She looks pretty, but tired

by MysticMeercat Friday, October 28, 2011 at 12:25PM Report as inappropriate

She looks great!

I;m am os due to get my hair dune!

Love the hair style and color but the makeup looks too much on her. Her skin tone is nice so she can just follow simple mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss look.

I think when her hair grows out a bit It will look the same if she doesn't style it

too much i think

by judyangel101 Sunday, May 8, 2011 at 01:50PM Report as inappropriate

i too prefer the before picture - too much makeup - haircolor is great

by lynn2u54022 Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 05:06PM Report as inappropriate

Hmm... I dunno what happened here... I love the hair and she does look pretty, but to me she looks closer to 50 than 30. Though tired-looking in both pictures, I agree that she looked younger before.

Since when is 30 old???

by straycat239 Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 11:32AM Report as inappropriate

very nice

by BrenBren Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 11:28AM Report as inappropriate

I think the advice for matte vs shimmer eye shadows goes a long way to soften your look as we get older. Softer colors in makeup especially the looks takes away years from your face and draws attention to your entire face not one aspect (eyes, lips, wrinkles).

I agree that she has too much make up on in the after picture. Her hair looks a lot easier to manage now which is what she wanted.

she looks so much older!! awful

by naughtnone Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 08:27AM Report as inappropriate

Love, love love the new hair!! But it's too, too much makeup that makes her look older. Ditch the foundation, because her skin is good, just some lipstick and mascara would have been enough.

by Isis04 Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 08:26PM Report as inappropriate

Woah...I much prefere the before picture!! She looked cute and much much younger...

by kat_hamilton17 Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 11:45AM Report as inappropriate

Her initial tired expression is pretty funny

by LittleBunny Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 11:05AM Report as inappropriate

She definitely looked so much older. Her before picture was even better

by iamlove Friday, January 14, 2011 at 10:35AM Report as inappropriate

Wow,she looks so much older after her makeover. You're not suppose to look years older after a makeover. The only improvement is her hair,nice color,good style.

by MJane Friday, February 26, 2010 at 09:07PM Report as inappropriate

she looks old! like 30 something! i totally liked her hair the way it was, long and tricolor!!

by beautyfannatic Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 08:09PM Report as inappropriate

ohhh ! la la ! I think the woman looks old

by DEBBIEKD Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 12:40AM Report as inappropriate

OHHHHH ! LA LA! Isay the woman looks old

by DEBBIEKD Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 12:07AM Report as inappropriate

This woman is not 31, look at her neck and eyes. I no longer trust recommendations from this site. Putting you in spam.

by keywestbiscuit Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 04:30PM Report as inappropriate

I actually like the "before" photo : ) She looks older than 31 in the "after" photo! Her hair looks great though!

by Meilily Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 02:14PM Report as inappropriate

The hair is ok but i wouldnt touch her eyebrows - they was great in darker shade

by twelverainbow Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 09:23AM Report as inappropriate

The makeover makes her look older.But she looks good.

by alexnoble Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 08:06AM Report as inappropriate

She looks wonderful! She looks like she's happy with the new look. I've always envied others that get a makeover but so happy for them at the same time.

by Sonderdee Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 07:27AM Report as inappropriate

I AM GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE, SHE LOOKS MUCH OLDER IN THE AFTER PIC. LOOKS GREAT, BUT OLDER!

by axela1 Monday, January 26, 2009 at 01:13PM Report as inappropriate

by eminatic Monday, January 19, 2009 at 07:18PM Report as inappropriate
