In the makeover stages you can choose from several different hairstyles, skin tones and eye colors, and enhance her looks by adding makeup and jewelry. Click your mouse on the heart-shaped "Dressup" tab to dress your model. Choose from various styles of hats, shorts, skirts, tops and accessories to complete your makeover.
