Virtual makeovers

Mug Shots When we entered the new millennium this year, even people who normally bawk at making resolutions made some of their own. It seems everyone wants to be healthier, more organized, thinner and look better in the year 2000. What, then, is a better place to look for help in this computer-driven world than the World Wide Web? At www.virtualmakeover.com three software programs enable visitors to experiment with different looks, initially on models, but if you purchase the software you can be the covergirl (or -boy). Once you’ve scanned or downloaded a photo of yourself, you can put hundreds of hairdos and makeup styles to the test with a click of the mouse. There are even mustache and beard options for men. The makeover products — endorsed by two top women’s magazines — include Cosmopolitan Virtual Makeover 2, Cosmopolitan Fashion Makeover with hundreds of clothing options to fit your body type and Essence Virtual Makeover, specially for women of color. Another fun feature allows you to put your face on the cover of Cosmopolitan or Essence. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a supermodel, now you can virtually be one! <<< lm
