Hairdressing & Makeover Games

Blind Makeovers

Party guests can try a variety of blind makeover games. Girls who are more conservative and graceful may prefer the "No-Mirror Makeover" game. For this game, each girl gives her partner a makeover, but cannot let her see it until she is done. Girls who want to have some laughs and act silly can try a twist to the blind makeover game. One blindfolded girl gives her partner a makeover. Additionally, one girl can sit in a chair with another girl kneeling behind her. The girl on the chair puts her arms behind her back and the girl kneeling behind slides her arms in front to do the makeover to the girl on the chair. This creates the illusion that the girl on the chair is giving herself a terrible makeover. The other girls sit and watch, and this is their entertainment. The girls can take turns or volunteer, but do not pressure anyone to participate. Some girls might prefer just to watch and laugh.

For this game, girls can give each other makeovers complete with hairstyling and makeup. They also can try on each others' clothes if possible. Once the makeovers are complete, the girls can take pictures of each other posing -- just like a real photo shoot. If you want to be elaborate, set up some lights against a solid-colored wall or backdrop so that the photo shoot seems more professional for the girls.

In this game, you arrange a few makeup products in a circle. You can use things like different colored bottles of nail polish, lip gloss, lip stick and eye shadow. Girls take turns spinning a bottle that is placed in the center of the makeup items. Whichever item the bottle ends up pointing at, the girl can use to apply on herself. You can do this game numerous times and with different products. Start with nail polish, and then move on to lipstick colors, eyeshadow and blush. Alternatively, you can purchase some makeup or nail polish from a dollar store and allow girls to take home whichever item the bottle points at after they spin it.

In this game, girls try to create an outfit using aluminum foil. Depending on the number of party guests, girls can do this with a partner, individually or in groups. Give each group or individual girl a roll or two of tin foil. The girls try to create a fabulous outfit complete with anything from tops, skirts, dresses, hats or sunglasses.

Purchase a low-priced doll for each guest, and some cheap hair products like hairspray or mousse. Dollar stores usually sell these items. Each guest cuts the doll's hair and uses styling products. You can even give them markers to "dye" or highlight the doll's hair. The girls can take turns discussing what they did differently to the doll's hair and why they chose to create that particular look. If you have a camera, you can even take before and after shots of each doll. The girls can take home the doll, or if you prefer, they can simply take home the before and after pictures that you take.
