Fascination with extreme makeover TV shows

extreme makeover TV showThe desire to make oneself over can almost be described as a universal instinct. For some, it represents a chance for a fresh start, when all else has failed. Others might even see the makeover process as a form of rebirth. Perhaps this can explain our fascination with extreme makeover TV shows. We watch and wonder, “Could this be me?”

There are many situations that might prompt the desire for a makeover. Some makeover candidates might be about to enter, or re-enter the job market. Others might be recovering from a relationship break-up, and want to start dating. Many people consider having a makeover after a major illness or a surgical procedure. However, the excuse for having a makeover need not be quite so radical. It could simply represent a desire for change.

In George Cukor’s wonderful work of cinematic excellence entitled The Women, the main character asks her mother why men are more likely to be unfaithful to their wives than women are to their husbands. The mother, in her infinite wisdom, answers that when a woman gets bored, she changes her hair, buys a new dress or rearranges the furniture. But far be it for a man to buy a new tie of rearrange his offer furniture. Thus, the only way to see change is to see himself in the eyes of a different woman. Since this type of situation can be detrimental to any type of relationship, both women and men need to be willing to occasionally make themselves over, to create a sense of newness with themselves and with each other. As any marriage counselor will tell you, many relationships fall apart because one partner grows bored with his or herself. This is in contrast to the popular belief that they have grown bored with the other party.

The desire for a makeover is not always the result of a negative experience. Maybe you have written a book, won an award or have done something to receive sudden celebrity. Do your fashion choices, makeup and overall appearance present an image of success?

In some cases, simple changes in fashion, makeup, hair color or hairstyle might suffice. However, other situations might call for an extreme makeover. For example, let’s say you are stuck in a holding pattern. You play all the corporate games, but never see a promotion. You read “The Rules” and play all the dating games, but all of your friends bought you a copy of “He’s Just Not That Into You” for your birthday. Have you ever heard the phrase, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?” While many people spend hours or even hire experts to revamp their resumes, they still present an image that is less than professional. For example, women who apply for positions as corporate executives but go to interviews dressed like teenage girls are rarely selected for the position.

Other people will enlist the services of all of their friends to improve their online dating profile. However, their online photos are hardly enticing. Some organizations, such as New York Image Consultants, offer an online dating profile makeover. This includes hair styling, makeup, wardrobe selection, professional photo session and professional rewrite of your online profile.

Are you the candidate for an extreme makeover games? If so, the first thing you should realize is that a makeover should be an extension of your own unique personality and lifestyle. As such, the fashion, makeup and hair color and hairstyle that you choose should reflect the essence of who you really are, as opposed to who you are pretending to be. For example, at New York Image Consultants, the professionals analyze your personality, lifestyle and ambitions. Their suggestions for transformation are based on what you have presented as your unique inner core. In other words, the present that is inside the box is the same, but the wrapping paper is more attractive.

Here are some of the key components of an extreme makeover. Fashion, makeup, hair color and hairstyle rank high on the list. This is because they all involve a sense of color. Many scientists have proven that color not only influences your own mood, but the way that people will react to you. Wearing the right colors will enhance your best features and diminish the ones that are less attractive. Furthermore, the color of your hair, makeup and clothing should blend together like the shades of an artist’s palette. When these colors are in harmony, they create an artistic masterpiece known as “you.”

An extreme makeover might also involve switching to makeup that is appropriate for your age. While glitter looks great on teenage girls, it can accentuate wrinkles on women over 50. In addition to a change in makeup, it behooves you to follow a skin care regimen that is appropriate for your age, as well as the condition of your skin. You might also want to pay attention to your smile. In some cases, professional tooth whitening might be needed. Let’s not forget facial hair. The best makeup can’t hide a mustache. Sometimes, a simple eyebrow shaping can make you look younger and more alert.

When you shake hands in an introduction, do your hands reflect a person who pays attention to detail? In contrast, do you have chipped nail polish, bitten nails or chapped skin? Are you fingernails dirty? If you are on a date, will he want to be touched by your hands? Sometimes, a paraffin treatment and a realistic nail care and manicure regimen can make a difference in your entire image.

Most extreme makeovers, such as those offered by New York City Image Consultants, offer a day with a personal shopper, who will help you choose fashions that will accentuate the positive aspects of your figure. However, they will also recommend specific fitness and nutritional regimens that will allow you to achieve the best body possible. The more experienced image consultants will never suggest a one size fits all diet and exercise program. They realize that different programs are more suitable for specific body types, and they will take into account your lifestyle and time commitments when suggesting a fitness program. In some cases, a cosmetic procedure might also be recommended.

Even the best exercise program or cosmetic procedure cannot compensate for poor posture and alignment. If you speak with the authority and intelligence of a knowledgeable professional, but your posture is indicative of a shy little girl, you are sending out mixed messages. In this case, you might want to enroll in a Pilates or other type of posture enhancement program. The same thing applies to your speaking voice. Do you talk like a little girl at meetings and at interviews? Are your speech patterns filled with dissonant regionalisms? When you are being interviewed, do you sound like a confident celebrity, or are you awkward and shy? An extreme makeover might involve speech or voice production lessons.

Whether you are seeking celebrity, a promotion, a romance, or simply an escape from boredom, an extreme makeover gives you the opportunity to reinvent yourself. The possibilities are endless!

Celebrity scents: Perfumes made popular by sweet-smelling stars

Paris Hilton By ParluxIt’s the scent of success that has us storming into stores and buying the fragrances and jewelry of the stars. Almost everyone wants to be young, rich and powerful. Millions of people are buying star scents that made the fragrance industry a booming billion-dollar industry.

They have a secret allure and we love them for it. Who wouldn’t want to be just like Jennifer Lopez? She looks beautiful, has incredible poise and class, and even looks great while she’s pregnant. Born in 1969, she has taken the world by storm and created her own paradise. Becoming a “fly girl” (dancer), on the TV comedy show, “In Living Color” and a backup dancer for Janet Jackson helped propel her into the spotlight.

Starring in the 1997 movie, ” Selena”, and many other movies such as, ” Monster-in Law” and by selling 53 million records worldwide brought Lopez into a national arena. J. Lo’s beauty is evident in the perfumes she helped create-Glow, Miami Glow, Live, Luxe. Deseo, her fifth and newest creation takes J.Lo back to her Latino roots. Her newest creation is set for release in February of 2008, and it has a combination of jasmine, geranium flower, orange blossom, freesia, and sensual musks.

She knows everything about designer shoes. Playing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker became a household name. Starring in Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992 and continually being in movies throughout her career has helped SJP become a woman almost every young woman wants to be. In 2006 her very popular Lovely fragrance made a scintillating 57 million dollars.

Lovely embodies the soul of a modern woman. It has a fragrance infused with lavender, orchid, and musk. SJP’s new perfume, Covet that was released in early 2007, she describes as being a “more aggressive” fragrance than the “well-behaved” Lovely. Covet is infused with Sicilian lemon, lavender, chocolate, and muget.
Incredibly sweet, sexy gorgeous Jessica Simpson created her own line of Dessert Beauty body products that are so lip smacking good that as Jessica says about Dessert Beauty “they are good enough to eat.” Current boyfriend Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, Tony Romo, gets to kiss the lip gloss right off of Jessica’s lips with her Kissable collection of lip-glosses.

Jessica became a pop sensation in the late 1990’s with her record, Sweet Kisses that sold over 2 million copies. She became a pop icon when she starred in the Reality TV show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. and the movie, ” Dukes of Hazzard,” as Daisy Duke. Her new perfume, Taste will debut in the summer of 2008.

She may be having personal problems that are happening right before our very eyes, but Britney Spears’ Curious and Fantasy colognes have made a cool 84 million dollars.
Britney Spears was born in 1981, joined the New Mickey Mouse Club when she was only eleven. She became a worldwide singing sensation in 1999 with her first record,” Baby One More time,” that was certified Diamond in 2004 by selling 25 million copies. In Control being her latest adventure into the fragrance world by Elizabeth Arden.

Australian singer, Kylie Minogue has been a hit making sensation since her early debut in 1987 with the hit single, ” Locomotion.” Her sweet smelling cologne, Darling, has outsold the Beckham’s colognes in the U.K. where Kylie is incredibly popular. The cologne was made to reflect Kylie’s personality, and is infused with Australian sandalwood, star fruit, and freesia.

Ironically named by INXS lead singer, Michael Hutchence, as a suicide blond in his song, “Suicide Blond”, 39 year old Minogue recently battled breast cancer on her Show Girl tour. She bounced back to sell out Wembley Arena seven times. Her new cologne Sweet Darling was released this year, and has cotton candy accord, juicy passion fruit, and freesia in it.

It’s not a simple life for Heiress Paris Hilton. She’s been incredibly busy. She teamed up with Parlux Fragrances in 2004 and created the cologne called Paris Hilton. After the cologne took off with astronomical sales, they created several more-Just Me, and Heiress. In 2007 the two teamed up again and created a new fragrance called Can Can.

Paris Hilton is a famous wealthy heiress and has starred in the TV show, The Simple Life, with Nicole Richie. Having completed a short stint in jail recently, Paris has written several books, and appeared in a horror movie called, the House of Wax, in 2005. She also made a record, started her own hair extension business and smells wonderful the entire time she is busily making more money.

Supermodel Kate Moss’ creation simply called Kate, recently outsold every other celebrity cologne at the U.K. drugstore-Superdrug and it will be hitting American stores in 2008. Singer, actor, Jon Bon Jovi, recently teamed up with clothing designer Kenneth Cole to create a new scent called R.S.V.P. Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson, Novelist Danielle Steel, and American Idol Judge and singer, Paula Abdul are all entering the fragrance business with their own colognes for 2008.

With the fragrance business making over two billion dollars last year, chances are that your favorite star will come out with a cologne that you adore, in the near future.

The extreme makeover guide

In recent years, extreme makeover T.V. Shows have become ever popular. These shows have celebrity hosts, and stylists. Have you ever seen, “What Not to Wear,” or “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?” Than you know what I mean. Producers are spending millions and millions of dollars on these games, making it look almost impossible to achieve this transformation on your own. They are usually catering to Women and older girls in their late teens, early twenties. What if you don’t have millions coming in, and don’t have friends in high places? How in the world can you make an extreme makeover happen to you? With some time and effort on your part, you can better yourself too.

In any extreme makeover, there are four main key components, and these are; fashion, lifestyle, makeup and appearance. I know that sounds like too much to take in, but hang on, let us just focus on one at a time, and everything will be obtainable.

The first thing I mentioned was fashion, and no you don’t have to break the bank by keeping up with the latest styles. The easiest way to do this, is by taking a look at your local news paper’s fashion section. You can also get tons of fashion information by just searching on the Internet. Jot down colors, shapes, types, fabrics, and anything that you feel is important. You can go to any shop and find these things. Stay with in the boundaries of what the fashion experts say, what works well with your body type, what makes you feel good, and you’re in business. Everyone has things about their body that they don’t like. Hide it with fashion, and accentuate what you love, and everybody will love it too. Find items that will cross over into other seasons, and all you’ll have to do is switch around accessories.

Now, on to lifestyle. It all depends on who you are, and how you would like the rest of the world to perceive you. Think about how you feel about yourself, and seek the help you need to change your self-negativity into self-esteem, self-love and self-worth. For some this can be seeing a therapist, a plastic surgeon, or a personal trainer.

You need to do what works for you. Eating a healthy diet and staying in shape can do a lot for a person’s well being. Quiting habits like smoking, and excessive drinking can impact your health and your looks.

Many times that is all you need. If you feel good about yourself, you will show it on the outside. It sounds cheesy, but put on a happy face, and your attitude will change. Changing your lifestyle to a healthy, and happy one, can make all the difference in the world, and your body and face will show it.

Lipstick, blush, and eye shadows, Oh My! Yes, makeup. You know, that stuff in the little bag, that you haven’t seen in eons.? The icy blue shadow, and the sticky glossed lips? Those days are over, honey. Time to wake up to the new you, and this includes make up don’ts and dos. Cosmetics are just like clothes. One season they are in, the next they are out. Do your research. Find brands and products that will fit you and your budget.

Get a basic make up brush kit, but put some money into this set. Good brushes that are well cared for are a must and should last quite a long time. Talk to a make up consultant at a department store, from a company you like and can afford. Many times they will give free make up makeovers, and suggest products that will work well for you. Select basic, timeless products, that you can wear through many seasons and can apply in a few minutes. Pick out a few special things to treat yourself, that will go out of style, come spring.

If you want your make up to look great, you need to keep up with your skin care regimen too. Cleanse and moisturize daily, and ex-foliate a couple times a week. You too guys, don’t think that since you don’t wear makeup, that your skin doesn’t matter.
Plucking and waxing at home, with unexperienced hands, can leave bald spots, burns and ingrown hairs. No one wants to see a “uni-brow”, so go to a salon and have them done right. Have them teach you how to do it properly at home. Don’t think your brows have gone under the RADAR. Your eyebrows will help to frame the rest of your face. When it comes to fragrances, what works for one, may not necessarily work for someone else. Test a little spritz on your pulse points, like your wrists, don’t rub or you may ruin subtle scents. Wait a few minutes and sniff your wrists. It shouldn’t be too strong nor too soft. The perfume or cologne needs to fit your personality, and your body chemistry. As it is with fashion, do your research. Find out what is in season, what is timeless, and find what works for you. Don’t go over board. Keep it simple, and you’ll go far.

Now that you have the other three components under control, lets put them all together and develop your appearance. Your body is toned, your makeup is flawless, and you clothes are perfect. Whats left? Why, you fabulous hair, of course. A hair style can make or break your over-all look. Find a salon and stylist you like, and the you can afford. They can help you find a style and color that suits you to a tee. Feel free to ask them questions on techniques and products, so you can achieve the same salon look and feel at home. Don’t go with anything too extravagant, make it easy on yourself, you’re going to have do it in the morning before work, and when you go out on the town at night.

Accessories will also help you pull your look together. Research what is in fashion. Choose jewelry, bags, shoes, belt and hats to complete your new style. You’ll want to find staples for your wardrobe as well as those special items, that will become part of your seasonally rotating items.
When it comes to an extreme makeover, the key components and knowledge will help you achieve your goals. Keep it simple, have your seasonal and staple items,keep it simple and you’ll rule the world. You don’t need a million bucks, a game show, or celebrities to show you how its done. You have the tools now. Welcome to your extreme makeover.
