Make Me Over

Make Me Over was one of those games you'd find on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It fit right in with the simple, clickable diversions of the time, a quick break between other tasks. The game presented a clear, straightforward premise without much fanfare.

You control the cursor, guiding it across a client's face and hair. Your job is to use an array of tools, clicking to apply makeup, style hair, and choose accessories. The main objective is to complete the makeover before a timer runs out, satisfying your virtual client's request. You might start with foundation and blush, then move on to eyeshadow and lipstick, finishing with jewelry or a new hairstyle. The pace is generally relaxed, though the clock adds a slight pressure to keep you focused. It feels like a quiet, methodical puzzle of aesthetics, where a few wrong clicks can lead to a messy result.
