Barbie Makeover Game
From LoveToKnow Kids
The Barbie makeover game allows users to experiment with a new look without having to leave their home or visit a salon to do so. Players can experiment with different hair styles. Makeup and jewelry can be added, as well.
Why Play a Makeover Game
Many little girls enjoy playing dress up and imagining what it would be like to have a different persona. They may think about what life would be like if they were a movie star, a princess, or any other category of person they can think of. Playing the makeover game is an extension of the same kind of experience. The players can think about what it would be like to have a completely different look than the one they have, without having to commit to adopting that particular style in real life.
How the Barbie Makeover Game Works
The Makeover Game is played on a computer, and the first step is to upload a photo of the player into the computer. Once the image has been uploaded, the girl can see how her appearance would change if she had a different hair style. If she is wondering what she would look like with long, flowing locks or a short, sassy 'do, this game gives her the chance to find out.
If a player wants to experiment with different hair colors, or add some streaks or glitter, then that can be done as well. Part of the game includes a makeup factory where custom colors can be mixed. This gives the players some idea of how different colors are combined to make new ones.
Since the game is a computer one, they can try different things without having to worry about mixing colors or making a mess. This is a great opportunity for them to be creative and try different things to see what will happen.
Where to Find the Barbie Makeover Game
The Barbie Makeover Game can be played online or downloaded to the user's computer. The free online version is a little different, in that players don't use their own photo as the basis for the game. Instead, they start with a computerized image of a face and choose the skin tone, hair color and style they would like to add. Both long and short hair styles are available.
The next step when playing the online version of the game is to select an eye color and add eye shadow and mascara to the image of the face on the screen. Lip color is added next, and then the player can choose to add hair accessories, such as tiaras, clips, or flowers to the image.
With the number of combinations available, a girl can have a lot of fun and spend quite a bit of time playing the game. The online version is simple enough that younger girls wouldn't have any trouble navigating it.
With the version of the game where a photo of the player needs to be uploaded, getting the picture into the game may present some challenges. It may be a good idea to start with the online game and then move into the more complicated version. The Barbie Makeover Game is one that girls will enjoy playing, but only if they are able to make it work without too many problems.
Barbie Fashion Fever Game
Another option available is the Barbie Fashion Fever Game. Players can guess what kinds of looks their friends have come up with by using deductive reasoning or simply experiment with different looks to figure out what they find appealing. Children aged six and up will enjoy this game.
