The Makeover- how we can edit our looks

Editing our appearances has become easier and more popular due to shows on HGTV("Double Take"), Women's Network, and magazine articles telling you "How to Get Stephanie Pratt's Hair."These television shows and magazine articles teach us how to edit the way other people see us and our belongings. 

I think this is more of a problem for women who have a rather inexpensive option of giving themself a new, fresh face. One visit to the MAC store and $50 later, a girl can walk away with more defined cheekbones, smokier eyes, darker eyebrows, plumper lips. All of these products alter the appearance of our faces, giving us a new look, and satisfying that bored feeling we get when looking in the mirror. 

Women also tend to dye their hair when looking for a change or to liven up their appearances. Whenever I feel like my look is starting to seem dull, I book an appointment to brighten up my hair, which will then directly brighten up my life. The last time I went, my hair dresser tried to convince me to dye my eyebrows a really light blonde. I was a little hesitant to make such a large change to myself without sleeping on it for a while. Its been a couple of months now and I still haven't grown used to the idea of dying my eyebrows, though I'm not ruling it out completely.

Some women resort to plastic surgery to change the way their bodies look, if they have the money to spend on it. A lot of women I know would gladly turn their B-cups into D's, given the money to spend on that option. I recently downloaded an App for my iPod Touch, called iSurgeon, which allows its users to perform different kinds of surgery on an uploaded photo of themselves to see how they would look with a nose job, tummy tuck, or breast implants. 

What makes women want to change the way they look? Is it the way celebrities are constantly changing their appearances for different roles in movies or different interviews on TV? Could it be wanting to look similar to another female they know? Women have a sincere appreciation about how other females look and often take pointers or rip off certain styles from their friends. I think editing our appearances satisfies our superficial mentalities, making us look more like a celebrity and less like regular people we are supposed to be, though it doesn't quench any 

I used to be disgusted at the thought of increasing the size of my bust or unnaturally changing my nose, but enough exposure to it via Apps, TV, magazine articles, or people around me doing it has sensitized the way I look at editing my appearance. 

This is the original picture with my Grandma.

Going online to TAAZ virtual makeovers, I was able to achieve the way Stephanie Pratt does her hair, and change how I do my make up. The first photo is the original, followed by the one with Pratt's hair, and two other alternatives to how I look. 

This is the results with Stephanie Pratt's hair style.

I always wondered what I would look like with red hair. I don't like it.
