playing with options...

i stumbled upon this really cool makeover application on ivillage. all you need to do is, sign up for free, upload your picture & have fun putting on different hairstyles, makeup & accessories!

when choosing a picture, make sure:
  1. it is full frontal - your face, that is.
  2. no (or minimal) fringe on your forehead.
  3. put on a pretty smile...:)
my "before" picture is somewhat according to the guidelines above. except that i am looking upwards. God knows why!

you know how in the magazines they say that different face shapes should carry certain haircuts, kinda thing? i am absolutely agreeable.
tried on loads of different hairstyles. short, medium, long, funky, curls, etc. and amazingly some cuts DO make my face look ROUND (original faceshape is oval). so, i guess its WISE to choose your hairstyle...WISELY!

Short Hairstyles


Hairstyle 1: i really like this one! a cute layered bob. a bit too funky, but that's probably due to product overload.

Hairstyle 2: another cute bob, but not so layered. reminds me of my hair when i was a little girl.
Hairstyle 3: Victoria Beckham - surprisingly, this looks quite good on me! but with the choppy layers, i can imagine the hassle of styling it everyday...:p


Hairstyle 4: rihanna's hairstyle before she the crop (pic on left is her hair curled). it looks nice. though the assymetrical bit will probably annoy the s*** out of me!

Hairstyle 5: this is nice (minus the colour!). but too much like mrs soapie. people might mistake us as sisters.

Hairstyle 6: ok, i just posted this up for fun. there's no way i will go for this. :p

Hairstyle 7: or this. too ah lian...

Medium Hairstyles

Hairstyle 8: this is a very chic cut. the colour is way off though.

Hairstyle 9: i absolutely love love china hairdoll styles. though, i look a bit round-ish here?

Hairstyle 10: i like this! but, not too fond about the short layers at the top. i had those last time, and it was a pain to grow it back. not to mention ponytales look weird with this.

Hairstyle 11: this is actually what i had in mind, if i were to cut my hair. a bit boring though...:p


Hairstyle 12: i could never achieve this. i have tried to use wax/gel to create this when a hairdresser at atria cut my hair wrongly (short layers at the top).

Long Hairstyles - i think i am not meant to have long hair. firstly, it grows a mm a year. secondly, for all the long hairstyles i tried on, it ended up looking like a mop!

Hairstyle 13: reese witherspoon's hairstyle. i look like a maid. :p

Hairstyle 14: it looks like my hair now. but much shinier (& flatter).

Hairstyle 15: china doll look that didn't work...:p

Hairstyle 16: think this COULD look nice. but...then again...:p

so now, i need YOUR help! i have selected my "favourites" would love it if you could just VOTE for the hairstyle you think looks best! just look to the top right, & you will be able to just click on YOUR favourites. Just refer to the pictures in this blog!
Would really really appreciate it. :)
