Get a Guy to Ask You Out: Before and After Makeovers

What Guys Say:

"This is how we want women to wear makeup. There's just enough so you don't look like you just got out of the shower, but not so much that we have to wipe anything off if you were to give us a kiss." -Eric, Esquire.com

"This is a woman I would want to come home to when I get married. She looks great and has a great smile, too. She just seems really warm and friendly." -Matthew, 34 (guy on the street)

What We Say: Laura's fiancé better get his boxing gloves on to fight off the hoards men that will be flocking to her. The highlights we added really add warmth to Laura's overall hair color and skin tone. And by adding pops of color to her eyes, lips, and cheeks we've highlighted all her best features.

What Our Experts Say:

“We added highlights to compliment her natural color. We used two different tones to create dimension to compliment her new flirty layers and also help support her natural texture. Her final result is sexy loose waves to give her a very soft and chic look" - Clyde Elezi, owner of The Drawing Room

"I went with a plum palette from MAC to create a warm and inviting eye. Then, I used two coats of YSL Luxurious Mascara in Burgundy to complement the warm plum tones in her eye shadow. Finally, I applied Boomstick Color to the apples of her cheeks, lips, and added a touch along the top of her cheekbones for radiance." –Cindy Joseph, makeup artist and founder of BOOM! Cosmetics

As a mom of two, Jeremin has quite the busy lifestyle, so her beauty regime consists of a monthly at-home dye job, moisturizer daily for her skin, and some lip balm before heading out. She has just started to date again and is looking for someone more mature who could potentially be a stepfather to her amazing kids.

What Guys Say:

"When the room is dark and it's late, enormous hoop earrings can create an obstacle course of total fail." -Eric, Esquire.com

"She looks too young for me to talk to and she doesn't seem like my type at all. I doubt we'd have anything in common so I probably wouldn't go up to her." -Will, 27 (guy on the street)

What We Say: One of the risks of doing at-home hair color is over processing and not getting the expertise of finding a shade that best flatters your skin tone. Jeremin's current color makes her look really young — she won't be attracting guys in her age range. While looking youthful is important, she needs to highlight her best qualities instead of wearing trends better left in high school.

What Guys Say:

"Girls always talk about wanting to be comfortable, but this outfit can't be any harder to wear than the ol' jeans-and-a-top routine people always fall into. And if it is uncomfortable? Well, hell. So are awkward conversations with the men who'll be flocking to you, but that's nothing to complain about either." -Eric, Esquire.com

"Damn! There's something about a girl who looks classy but sexy at the same time that just does it for me. Can I get her number?" -Will, 27 (guy on the street)

What We Say: What a difference! Not only is Jeremin now dressed age-appropriate (by the way, what a hot bod!), but her hair looks healthy, the color is better against her skin tone, and the layers add some playfulness. Plus, Jeremin's makeup looks radiant — it's just enough to add some color without being overdone.

What Our Experts Say:

"For Jeremin, we added lots of shine and eliminated some of her natural warmth to further complement her complexion. We created a shorter shape with soft fringe to emphasize her beautiful eyes and we finishing her look by straightening and relaxing her natural texture to soften up her appearance, thus giving her this completely sexy new look!" -Clyde Elezi, owner of The Drawing Room

"Jeremin's skin was dry so I moisturized her face first with Boomstick Glo. Next, I used Flawless Finish Concealer by Elizabeth Arden to even out the skin tone under her eyes. Then, I used Boomstick Color for her cheeks and lips. I also put it on her upper forehead and the side of her neck — all the places where your skin blushes when your happy! Next, I added the iridescent luster of Boomstick Glimmer to her entire eyelid and enhanced her eyes by lining her upper and lower lashes with Maybelline's Line Stylist in onyx. Finally, I finished with Bare Essentials Buxom mascara in black." –Cindy Joseph, makeup artist and founder of BOOM! Cosmetics

TV producer/editor by day, stand-up comedian by night, Chelsea is always on the go and hasn't made much time for her beauty upkeep or dating. Since she's always at bars or clubs performing, she needs to be ready for a quick drink after her set with the guy who's been staring at her all night.

What Guys Say:

"With a smile like that you don't need to glop on makeup and wear a big bouffant hairdo to shine. That said, a little bit of makeup and style lets us know that our date is more than just casual. It'll make us iron a shirt. Promise." -Eric, Esquire.com

"Guys like your hair down — short or long. Don't show up for a date with it pulled back like this because it says you're not interested." -Mike, 26 (guy on the street)

What We Say: We understand that with a busy career it's just easier to throw your hair into a bun to get out the door. (Hey, we do it all the time, too.) But, when it's time to head out on a date, adding a little color to your cheeks and letting your hair down can be the difference between a first date with phone call afterward and scoring a second date before you even leave the bar.

What Guys Say:

"I'll be honest, guys typically never notice haircuts. It's not our fault, though. Women go to the hairdresser and spend $250 to get an eighteenth-of-an-inch chopped off and act like there's some major change. But this, on the other-hand? This is a capital "H" haircut, with great shape, color, and style. We'll notice this." -Eric, Esquire.com

"She looks really cool. I'd probably be intimidated to go up to her at first, but after a drink, I'd have to go up and say hello." -Mike, 26 (guy on the street)

What We Say: Chelsea looks amazing! The color brightens up her face and we love that this cut is flirty, stylish, and easy to maintain. Even on those days when Chelsea just has to pull her hair back, she'll have some playful fringe to frame her face.

What Our Experts Say:

"We began by warming up her existing color to bring out Chelsea's playful personality. Introducing a new shape with long layers and soft framing around her face, we added bangs that give her overall look a bit of an edge while creating a sophisticated and modern new look." -Clyde Elezi, owner of The Drawing Room

"Chelsea has an outgoing personality so she can handle a bigger splash of color. I added a very light foundation to add a bit of warmth to her skin tone (Try CoverGirl Natureluxe Foundation). Next, I added Make Up Forever Poweder Blush on her cheeks, hairline, eyelids and outer corners of her eyes, and along the sides of her neck, to give that all over believable blushed look. Finally, I used Boomstick Color for her lips, which kept her from looking overly made up with the extra color on her skin." –Cindy Joseph, makeup artist and founder of BOOM! Cosmetics
