First, assess your needs and focus on one place to start. Bring in a professional to teach you what to do. Once you get help in that area, everything else will fall into place. Here are some more-specific tips to use as a roadmap to makeover perfection.

Assess your biggest beauty challenge

Stand in front of the mirror and take a look at yourself. Ask yourself what you feel needs improvement or updating. Is it your skin? Or the shape of your eyes? Have you worn the same lipstick shade for the last three years? Do you look older than you are? Figure this out, and you will know where to begin your makeover.
