Take a break and treat yourself to a makeover with Cosmopolitan Virtual Makeover
2, the sequel to Cosmopolitan Virtual Makeover judged the number one women's
beauty software by PC Data Retail Sales 1998. Cosmopolitan Virtual Makeover 2
offers 300 hairstyles (short or long, casual or glamorous) for men and women
along with hundreds of cosmetics and accessories. The software gives a beauty
quiz to determine the look best suited to your coloring and preferences and
offers ways to showcase your results.
A mouse and monitor get you through
the makeover's three easy steps. First, select and size a photo to work on,
either your own or a photo supplied with the software. The second step consists
of several sections. After taking the beauty quiz, you're offered a selection of
styles that can be applied to your photo. Clicking on a hair tab lets you resize
and adjust hairstyles until they're properly placed on your photo. You can also
change hair color and streak on highlights. Clicking on the cosmetics tab brings
up more categories to customize: foundation, cover-up, eye shadow lid, eye
shadow crease, eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick and beauty mark. The third step
allows you to choose accessories including hats, glasses and contacts. Once
finished with your selections, you can "preview the new you" and compare the
results to your starting photo.
Use of familiar brands such as Cover
Girl, Luxotica and Clairol help you recreate your virtual makeover in the real
world. To help the process, Cosmopolitan Virtual Makeover 2 will compile a list
of the products you used in the "See a New You" area. Finally, you can show off
your makeover by printing it, sending it to friends and family or by featuring
yourself on a design-your-own Cosmopolitan cover. ~ Crystal R. Chweh, All Game
