Makeover

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

A makeover is a term applied to changing one's appearance, usually through cosmetics. Makeovers can range from something as simple as a new haircut, to the use of cosmetic surgery, to the extreme of the implantation of dental veneers, eye-color-changing contact lenses, and the use of appearance-altering gastric bypass surgeries, providing massive, permanent fat loss in obese (and therefore widely socially-unacceptable) persons, and the associated plastic surgeries, such as abdominoplasty, to eliminate the resulting loose-hanging skin folds (the "panniculus").

Makeovers are often popular television subjects. Long a staple subject of daytime talk shows, they have recently moved into the limelight in television shows such as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Other popular makeover shows include What Not to Wear, How To Look Good Naked, Extreme Makeover, Ambush Makeover and Pimp My Ride. See makeover reality television series.

Computer software can also be used for performing what are known as Virtual Makeovers. Using a photograph of a human face, software can apply cosmetics, hairstyles, and various eyewear such as contact lenses and sunglasses in order to allow users to visualize different looks without physically trying them on.

There is also a series of books, aimed at teenage girls, called "The Makeover Series" written by Suzanne Weyn. There are several experts who perform the art of makeovers. Usually makeover artists specialize in hairtyling, make-up or clothing. "The Makeover Guy" is a registered trademark for author and makeover expert Christopher Hopkins who is known for his television head-to-toe makeovers.
