Have you ever wondered what you would look like with blonde hair, glasses or even with tattoos? Now you can find out before making a drastic change with Lifetime’s total beauty makeover tool (http://www.mylifetime.com/lifestyle/beauty-style/total-beauty-makeover ).

When you log onto the page, you are asked to upload a picture of yourself with your hair pulled back, and then use a tool to line up your eyes, teeth, lips, face, neck and shoulders to make sure the hairstyles fit you perfectly. Then, on to the fun!

You can choose between short, medium, long or celebrity hair, several eye colors, lipstick, lip liner, necklaces and even eyeglasses.

After you finish playing around with your potential looks, you can save the final product to your lookbook, start over or see it on a new model.

This site could keep a girl entertained for hours, exploring different options and looks!
