Want to look at my Taaz makeover and help me decide on a haircut and if you think I should get braces?!?!

I m namechanging and removing these photos last thing before going to bed, I am very scared, usually lurk as not stylish nor beautiful! Need to decide though, want to have a bit of a change!

The power is all yours people, I am really bored with my hair, I went on this website www.taaz.com/makeover.html#tab=lipstick and found a thing for adding different hairstyles, it's very addictive, but am still undecided - I have curly/wavy (can make it straight easily, wavy or very curly depending on drying with not a lot of fuss) brown higlighted hair, a fat face round/oval face, and am up for a bit of constructive critisism! I would probably have about 15 mins to sort my hair in the morning for work, longer if going out. I like slightly quirky clothes, would like to be a bit more trendy really but too lazy

I am also thinking of getting braces, going for an appointment tomorrow to discuss it - when I see my teeth I hate them, always have, but really wonder what others think? The cost is my biggest worry, I lack confidence when smiling, hate photos of myself, but I wonder if it's more what I see than others, I strangely have felt more like this since DD was born (year ago, and still carrying a few extra pounds).

So would you take a look at my profile and give me honest feedback? (about the hair, and teeth, but really, any feedback at all is fine!) Can't ask friends, they always say I look fine, I want honesty!!

Goan, you know you want to!

You look youngest in the first one, the last one is especially yeuch. I like 1 & 3, long and sweepy and floaty abouty. The first one looks like a real pic took a second for me to realise!

Any help?

missmakesstuff · 16/05/2011 22:25

Thanks - the first one is how I used to have my hair for a bit, kind of got bored..(see a theme?). wan't sure if longer made me look a bit fatter in the face?

I would not have said you have a fat face at all! I also like the dark colour & heavy fringe. Maybe play with colour more? Regarding braces I'd do whatever you think will help you regain confidence, it's not invasive & you can get those invisible ones now- they're pretty trendy to have really!

I like pic 4 - looks easy to look after and sophisticated!

missthing · 16/05/2011 22:28

I agree with Ursula, 1 and 3 are definitely the best. Re: braces, I think if it is something about which you feel self conscious - and it's fixable, then do it. I think though, it's probably much more what you see than what others see. I am very Envy of your amazing skin !

HelloOutThere · 16/05/2011 22:29

as to braces - yes, why not if you feel they would be good for you

UrsulaBuffay · 16/05/2011 22:29

I have a fat face and cannot carry off short hair, always regret it and feel much better with some swinging about my face hiding the chub

StopTalkingAndEatYourDinner · 16/05/2011 22:31

I like it longer and with a fringe. You have really lovely eyes and the fringe shows them off more I think.

I would go for a brace if I was you, I think having straight even teeth makes a huge difference to your confidence and is very easily sorted out. I speak from experience as i have had braces and it made a huge difference to how I look and feel.

cheesesarnie · 16/05/2011 22:31

i love first one.

UrsulaBuffay · 16/05/2011 22:31

YY to lovely eyes & skin

missmakesstuff · 16/05/2011 22:34

Thanks all, going to talk through braces tomorrow and see what the orthodontist says about how long it will take etc.

Re hair - colour is an idea, although find it a bind having to get it done every 6 weeks, hair grows very quickly!

Would love to take credit for having amazing skin, but can't, its the taaz makeover thingy, 'tis brill, you can add makeup etc, whiten teeth even - I am going to use it for all my photos from now on, maybe that is the answer!

pic 4 is quite ageing IMO
it makes me think of the 'if your name is Linda....' thread if you remember this!
