Taaz: Rebecca Romijn

Image
I haven't done a Taaz makeover for a while-I notice they have some pretty cool Halloween themed looks right now (if you ever wanted to see what you look like with green skin?). I tried something a little more tame, this Rebecca Romijn curly hairstyle just seemed to fit with me. It's really versatile, looking great in other colours too. Here's the original paired with glossy nude lips and smokey eyes... Absolutely loving the style in this red shade (I probably should've gone more green on the eyes) I changed the lip to pink for this bright platinum shade A more natural brunette with the same makeup again A tad lighter and paired with a darker, browny lip And finally this is as dark as I could go without it looking too false (and with a nude lip again) Have you tried any good looks lately on Taaz?

Lessons I've Learned From Taaz

Ok, I promise not to bore you with many more Taaz images, but I've learnt a few things from using it over the past couple of days. I'm completely unafraid of colour. I kinda already knew this, but had it reconfirmed, when I tried this platinum blonde version of the dark Katy Perry cut I loved. It shouldn't work, but actually I reckon it looks ok (if it was 'real' hair rather than the awful quality of the Taaz colour shown here). With the right makeup and cut I reckon I can get away with any colour, which is very lucky. This leads me onto the next point which is 'I am afraid of the cut'. I've tried picking styles I don't like on the celebrity or that I do like on them but don't think would suit me. More often than not, I realise I'm right, it doesn't suit me. -I don't suit up-do's. Although I never wear my hair up these days, I used to never wear it down, so it's surprising that I completely dislike it up. -I don't suit...

More Makeovers

Hello ladies, glad to see you're also becoming Taaz obsessed! I really need to get a life instead of toying with the idea of changing hair colour, how I'd look with bronzer or plumping my lips! I'm actually finding that I'm choosing things that in reality wouldn't suit me, yet they seem to look good on the virtual me. Remember my horror at colouring my hair dark earlier this year? I hated it, yet the dark look seems to appeal on screen. I think I just suit the more gothic look because of my pale skin. I was blonde in real life for years and the colour seemed to really suit me, yet I'm not so keen on it on Taaz. This morning I took a horrendous no makeup, hair scraped back photo (die!) to upload as there were some hairstyles where my real hair was sticking out the sides or top yesterday. The photo is horrible and even with the Taaz makeup I'm not convinced I look presentable. I wish they had powder...they don't do they? Or concealer that you could choos...

Taaz Me

I haven't used the virtual makeover site Taaz , in years. At the weekend though I got an email from Topshop and their cosmetics are available to transform you on Taaz, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was keen to see what Vamp lipstick would look like on me. For that reason, I don't think the site is very precise though. I tried out a couple of products I do own and they looked completely different on the virtual me from real life me-so it's not really a good indication of how they will look in real life. My Topshop makeovers resulted in me looking like a bad drag queen-but I may as well embarrass myself and show you how not to do it! The second is supposedly Vamp lippie-bleugh, not the vampish purple I was expecting! I am completely addicted to the site now though-it's ridiculous. It's so much fun. If you don't know anything about it, it's very easy to use. Just upload a photo of yourself (best without makeup and hair pulled back)-I don't have any ...
