Makeover: how to become a different person — 22 Comments

  1. That’s good. The makeup should not be obvious. Some women look like they apply the makeup with a trowel. Remember Tammy Fay Baker? I used to wonder why she didn’t have a professional do her makeup for her TV appearances.

  2. Just a comment update. Using Chrome. I see comments on the Mosby post, but not on the makeover or MSM & polls post.

  3. ColoComment:

    Let me know if you have further problems viewing the blog.

    I think it’s mostly all fixed, but I’m not sure it’s quite 100% yet.

  4. …have people with comment/refresh symptoms checked that their own browsers are set to refresh pages every time they visit the page?

    To check in IE, for example, you’d go to Internet Options –> Browsing history: option –>Temporary Internet Files …to see what your settings are.

    The “Automatic” setting should work, but you might try “Every time I visit the webpage” too.

    You should [additionally] check the Caches and databases folder tab too, and check/uncheck “Allow website caches and databases” to see if that helps.

    Other browsers will have different “specifics”, but will have something roughly similar for cache settings.

    IF a local settings change [you make] proves effective, it may help others to mention what it was.

    …just because your settings were working, doesn’t mean they will continue to work. General Windows updates haven’t been effectively regression tested for a long time lol.

    Here’s my analysis (from what I’ve read here): Something happened. The problem doesn’t affect everyone (with all the problems I had 3-4 years back, when I couldn’t comment at all from my home PCs, I’d think I would have noticed something: I haven’t), so it might be local (or at least partially so).

    (IF the problem was purely on neo’s site’s side, it should be systemically noticed and everyone – including, well, me lol – should notice it to some extent …since everyone hasn’t experienced the problem, it might be a wide-spread but still a purely/mostly “local” issue.)

    Actually, I think everyone (or pretty much everyone) was having the problem.

    It was due to some code about caching that was mistakenly put there by my host. They have removed it, but some people’s cache is still “stuck” until they clear it.

  6. I never had a problem. I’m on my Mac using Safari.

    By the way, thanks to you, I am addicted to “The Makeover Guy” now.

  7. Susanamantha:

    But at least The Makeover Guy is a joyful, harmless addiction.

    Plus the videos are very short, and the number (although large) is very finite. So be of good cheer.

  8. She looks great. And I enjoy these makeover posts. But false eyelashes are not “a bit more makeup.” They look natural, but they are a considerable effort to apply and remove. Imagine doing that every day!

  9. CAn anyone tell me what makeup these kids put on to be different people than everyone that came before and ended up as those that arent that way any more as they defend against what they are and projected onto others?

    [the fmri scan studies over makeup and stuff is fascinating explaining the schizo behaviors of some that use it as it changes ones perceptions of self (hard to maintain an identity if you lose yourself in make believe versions of things that neer existed)]

    As to seeing the kids fighting against browshirts BE the brownshirts, what makeup changed them? or are they really brownshirts in socialist costumes?

    are we who we pretend to be, or who we are hiding what we are, afraid the world will find us to be not much of anything

    Agree about false eyelashes being a pain. I’ve never worn them in my life. Of course, when I was young there really was no need. Even at a more “mature” age, I think most people can still get a pretty good effect with mascara.

    Only, now they make 1,001 different types of mascara. It’s dizzying. Lengthening, fattening, separating, etc. etc..

  11. I have very saggy eyelids (especially now that I am older, but it’s genetic, they were always like that). Like the gal in this makeover. And my eyelashes stick straight out which makes them hard to see. When I was young, for a while I used an eyelash curler and then mascara, which, when done properly, does look good. But it’s not easy, I never got used to the contraption, and I did once mistakenly pull out my eyelashes with it! Mascara alone doesn’t seem to do much. I gave up on makeup a long time ago — even lipstick gives me problems, it always seems to seep in or rub off or look odd — but the older I get the more I want to make at least small efforts toward my appearance. Maybe I’ll try one of the new mascaras.

    At least I finally found someone who keeps my hair looking great. In case anyone lives near Nashua, NH, Jeff at the J. Scott Salon is a genius with hair.

    Of course, as even these makeover videos show, one of the best ways to improve both one’s face and one’s mood is to smile!

  12. Sarah Rolph:

    Yes, eyelids and eyelashes (or lack of the latter) become quite a bit more—ummm—challenging as one goes down life’s road.

    I never liked to wear lipstick, even when younger. It always felt and tasted funny to me, plus my natural lip coloring was dark enough that I didn’t really need it and the colors turned funny on me. I do wear gloss, or slightly-colored gloss, now and then.

  13. A friend of mine was in a theatrical production — not her usual thing, she is a painter — and the next morning after having imperfectly removed her make-up she looked at herself in the mirror and said, dang, you can see my eyes! So she started wearing a bit of eyeliner. Made her happy — she keeps saying “I have eyes!” (I expect you could do a whole long post on the glamour and history of eyeliner, which I notice is back, bigtime… the kids are doing the cat-eye thing I remember from old-time movies…)
