What a great improvement here. More color was definitely needed, especially with her dark hair. For everyday she could use the eye makeup more sparingly and her eyes would stand out so much. I agree that a new hair style would be good - maybe she has naturally curly hair so that would be taken into account. But - please - no boring Vanna White straight hair. Ick.

Very beautiful. The piece was called the 1- Minute Makeover so , no time to do hair but I think her hair is naturally quite nice.

She's still cute and thank god they did not fill her with makeup she did not need.
Todays run-way models are disgusting with tons of unneeded trash on their face.

I'm enjoying it now, but when I was fresh out of college constantly being mistaken for a highschooler was frustrating. As for the girl in the video...she's cute, but I'm not a blush fan.

Being called cute isn't as great as it sounds. Is it a compliment,
sure. But I am 25,a professional and married, and I never look more
than 16 or 18 years old. When you are a professional, mature, adult
woman and look like a teenager, people do not always take you
seriously. When you are at work and you are called cute,it is hard to
feel like you are respected. I'm sure in 10, 15 or 20 years, it will
be wonderful to look so youthful, but now, it is actually not so hot.

The make-over was nicely done. The woman was cute before the make-over, and she's still cute after the make-over. She just doesn't have the face that most people would call "beautiful." Sohpia Loren was considered "beautiful." Elizabeth Taylor was considered "beautiful." Hardly anyone would call these two women "cute." Many other women are cute, attractive, pretty, good-looking, whatever else you want to use. But "beautiful" is reserved for only a precious few women. Of course, that opinion is only mine.

First of all, Bravo! to the stylist. I don't normally comment on things like this but for some reason it caught my interest and I found myself watching it. The stylist is a true artist of her craft, and that is what separates those from the hacks,and is very good at what she does! She was able to accentuate and bring out this girl's natural features without having to cake it on and totally ruin the look. Second, I was hesitant in the beginning because I was thinking that the additional makeup was going to make this girl look completely unnatural but she did a great job in transitioning this girl's look from cute to sultry, but not trashy. She still regains a youthful and exuberant quality that she naturally has. Third, I thought that the girl looked fine to begin with and I can understand wanting to change your look from time to time but I happen to like cute and adorable, because that is who she really is, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think that is just as sexy as the sultry look. Besides, cute and adorable is who you wake up in the morning with and that, as a guy, suits me just fine.

She's really pretty....the kind that if I saw her I might be envious of her not really needing make-up. She looked good with it though, too.
