8 Great Mini Makeovers

Our pros had a mission: Change just one thing about these women's routines. Get inspired here!

Add some shine
Hidekel Elivo, 28, has model-good looks, but overdyeing had dulled her hair. Stylist David Evangelista's answer: a conditioning mask and an overall golden brown hue (not just on ends).

Give bangs the brush-off
"What was I thinking?" jokes Rachael Hayes,26, of her bangs. Stylist Emir used mousse and a curling iron to boost her waves, then loosely pinned her bangs to one side. "It brings out her eyes-literally!"

Try a whole other lip color
Lena An, 29, looked great before, but subtle pink lips are a softer kind of sexy. Plus, wearing a rosy hue is less effort, since she doesn't have to line her lips to prevent color from bleeding.

Think bronzer
When you have light skin and hair like Sarah Jane Mellen, 21, extra color is a good thing. The pro way: Sweep bronzer over cheekbones and across your forehead. Then add a touch to the tips of your nose and chin.

Go easier on the eyeshadow
Jeri Nuwn, 25, likes to play up her eyes with dark silver shadow-a little too much for daytime. Makeup artist Marie-Josée Lafontaine put on copper instead. Says Jeri, "I love that it's still a pretty metallic."

Brighten up!
Matte foundation was sucking the life out of Heena Patel's skin. So Lafontaine added highlighter to
her base, then put it on the 21-year-old's cheeks, forehead and nose. "It gives subtle glow and defines bone structure," Lafontaine says.

Do a new updo
"I'm sick of the tiny pony, the only style I can easily pull off," says Amanda Petreny, 21. Emir sprayed in hair powder to give her fine hair grip, tied it into a low pony, then pinned it under at her nape-fake "long" hair!

Embrace liner
Victoria Eisner, 25, never bothered with eye makeup. Then Lafontaine introduced her to a quick two-step look: gray shadow, with top lids lined in black. As Victoria says, "I didn't realize liner could make such a difference."
