Since I have not had employment for some time I have more less let my hair amd make-up and clothing go-could not afford it. A new look would really improve my mental well being as well as my outloook on life and hopefully help me find employment. I am over 65 and it is not easy.

Perhaps upon winning, you'd like to join me on this transformational voyage? After all, two women giving birth at 45 and having the #16 in their name must have much in common!

After having two boys - and thinking we were through having children - I found out at age 40 we were expecting a little girl - what a delight she has been for all of us. She is now 13 and just entered 8th grade. This was a BIG year to try to get a more stylish look for back to school. I have become increasingly aware in shopping with her that I am so out of touch with current style - I had so much fun shopping with her - and found myself wanting to have that SAME excitement of having a cute outfit that you know is current and stylish. She is rekindling in me things I use to love...but just got out of the habit of doing. I've worked as a nurse for 30 years and wear scrubs most of the time - I need a booster shot of style!

I have been disabled since i underwent huge spinal surgery x2 after an accident. It ruined my career (RN). My self esteem went to "the basement" I feel that a makeover would help improve my feelings a great deal.
Thanks for this opportunity

I was actually ready for a makeover when I was in my early 40s! Just didn't have the time for it with my kids, husband and my mom's needs. Now, I'm in my early 50s. The kids are all grown up and I've lost my husband (widowed when I was 44) and my best friend, my mother. With such significant loss, sometimes I feel like I've lost myself, as well. But, I realize I need to start living again and a makeover would be the perfect beginning to the next chapter in my life. Ironically, both my husband and mother were from the Big Apple so venturing to NYC would be extra special for me.

I don't know what 62 is suppose to look like.

I've always been pleased that people would look at me and say "You look just like your Mother"....but now that she's close to 80 and gone naturally gray, it's not such a great idea. I'd like to keep her inner beauty but have an updated, younger style. I've done hand-me-downs for as long as I can recall, and that doesn't help either. How about something unique to me and just my style?

"If you look at my picture from 10 or 20 or 30 years ago, not much has changed other than aging. As if I live in a vacuum, or am afraid by changing the type of clothes that I wear that I'll become fat, or (more?!) frumpy, or uncomfortable. I know I have the potential to look great, but am not creative when it comes to "looks". I was always pigeonholed as the smart one, so looks didn't matter. I have two sons, so I don't have fresh female inspiration and input on what happens in the fashion world. Heavens, I still buy my cosmetics at the grocery store! I'm a distance trail runner, so I don't want a high maintenance hairstyle, and I'm not a fan of big makeup, either - but I would love help for developing a comfortable, casual and professional style that is easy to maintain.

I know a lot about color and have no problem helping others...it's ME I can't seem to help!! I would LOVE a makeover!"

"I escaped from a abusive marriage 3 years ago with the clothes on my back and my dogs so I had to start over from scratch. Then last year I spent the whole year fighting cancer and I feel like I have aged about 15 years in one year. I am on a very limited income and can not afford to buy anything. About two years ago I bought a huge lot of clothing from a guy on Craigslist that belonged to his mother for $100. They are all too big, but it is all I have. My hair is long but I have had to cut it myself for several years because I can not afford a beauty shop. Luckily I did not have to have Chemotherapy for my cancer, just a very long bout of Radiation and 10 years of Hormone therapy so I did not lose my hair, but it is in very bad condition. I can not imagine how wonderful it would be to have my hair cut, new clothes picked just for me, and have someone show me how to apply makeup (which I am terrible at) ! I am finally starting to feel better, and to win something like this would be a dream come true! "

"One look at my picture with my 2 beautiful, fashionable children should tell you that dear old mom desperately needs an update. I actually thought I looked quite fashionable and vacation appropriate in the sundress and casual hair. Yikes. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I am a professional and look boring but presentable in boxy suits when I am at work. I long for some style but obviously my efforts have missed the mark. I have it in me to be fabulous but just need some guidance. Please help. Thanks you for your contest and site. At least it has me thinking. Sarah"

In this job market I don't want to turn down a position that offers a salary and benefits but I don't know what to do..it's overwhelming....What do I wear that I can turn 5 or 6 outfits into a month long wardrobe that can go from work to business meetings to dinner with a client? My clients are all HIGH END (think Fergie from Black Eyed Peas) and then there's me...58 in my pajamas? OMGosh...and MAKE UP. I have no idea what to buy or use... I was just told that the "powder" type base I've been usinng has "mica"in it and that it's making my "fine lines look deeper!!" Oh GREAT! Now what? I have oily skin..well, it's dry but I break out...what's up with that!?! I am desperate for help....I need some direction and help. I don't need to look 20 but I would sure not mind looking a few years younger and put together...This would be a dream come true for me and also get me started off on the right foot in my new position...(It's actually a promotion)"

Why I even wear my mans Jockey underwear and T's to bed. I don't know how to buy my myself clothes or shoes and the purses that I buy, I get at the thrift store. I guess in a way, I feel that I am not worthy enough to shine out in public. My mom and my sister are what I like to call, "clothes whores'. They have complete outfits with matching shoes, coats, purses jewelery, and are always so stunning! Me??? I think that if I won something like this that it would give me more self-esteem and I might just feel great enough to go out and get a job. I have been unemployed for a year and my fiance' and I might be able to finally get married. We have been engaged since 2007. I would LOVE to win a make-over!

I need to look more stylish and hip myself to give me confidence and help me in my business. I have worn my hair the same way for 20 years. I don't know what would look good on me and could use some advise. I would love to improve my style and look younger, but I am not sure what I should do with my hair color, make up and overall style to give me a fresh new look. I know there is makeup that is more flattering and I do know some tips, but I know I could look better. I have put on some pounds over the last few years and even though I am trying to get into shape, I am not sure what would be most flattering...I wear a lot of black. I have 4 kids who wish the best for me, but have told me I could update my style - be a little more hip and if they had a not so extreme "What Not to Wear" they would offer me up as a volunteer. I also got divorced 2 years ago after being married for many years. I haven't been ready to date, but am turning the corner to put myself out there and I could sure use some help!

I have become increasingly aware in shopping with her that I am so out of touch with current style - I had so much fun shopping with her - and found myself wanting to have that SAME excitement of having a cute outfit that you know is current and stylish.

I love being a super Mom to my three grown kids and a great wife to my hubby, but sometimes I get lost in that, 'this is my so-s0 life', muddle.

I am now getting ready for radiation...( which I qualify for a 5 day - 2 x a day treatment with a device implanted vs the 6 wk everday radiation ) . it has all been such a whirlwind - with no symptoms prior - just the routine mamogram and a doctor who saw the change.....the new ride fighting the breast cancer had begun.

"I'm 62 and I don't know how I'm suppose to look at my age. I go shopping for clothes and don't buy any. I don't know how I'm suppose to dress, what color of hair is okay for me, is my hair style and makeup outdated? I want to start dating again but I'm afraid I will look like something out of the 80's. I joined an online dating site recently and have turned down dates because I don't want to look "dated" and out of style. I seem to have lost any sense of style. Please help me to look the best that I can. "

"I thought I had a good and stable marriage. My husband got a job transfer to the east coast and I needed to stay behind until I could get my ailing 88 year old mother into assisted living or other caring living situation. About the time I was ready to move the economy went south and he became worried he would be laid off. I stayed here and took care of my mother as she became weaker and needed more and more help. He got laid off and became distant until one day he appeared without notice at the door telling me he had been to the bank and emptied our accounts and he wanted a divorce. He left and never looked back. My mother went into the hospital first and then the rehab center. I had no time to deal with anything but what was right in front of me at that moment. He got a better job and still wanted a divorce. My mom came home and her health declined daily until she passed. I had no money and no job, no husband and my mother who was my constant friend had dementia and was fading away in front of me. She passed and I was the lucky one to be in charge of disposing of her lifetime of memories and house which I am still doing. I have a job and still don't have time for any social life but I have begun to feel better about "me". I need a complete overhaul to truly start anew! "

I have given everything to my husband and children - I always came last, if there was anything left for me.

I'm not happy with my current haircut, as I feel it's dragging me down a bit, and is too high maintenance. I'm ready for a new look for when I need to meet with current and future clients. I also need something that's easy care, for quick styling after a dip in one of the several hot springs we visit, the nearby lake, or an impromptu overnight while on the road. "

I've a second business as the owner of an online travel magazine (again, sound exciting and glamorous), and I travel to lovely destinations, often with my husband. But most of my days are spent at home in my pajamas working in front of a keyboard - providing me with little impetus to find an exercise routine, eat nutritiously, or update my hair, make up and wardrobe. Who needs to buy clothes when you're either in a uniform or pajamas? (Although I have a great wardrobe of fun pajamas and loungewear.)

"Can a make over take away the stresses and issues we deal with at this stage in our lives? With jobs, careers, children, spouses, parents to deal with and then add waking up and not seeing the person who used to look back, I would say "yes" - a fresh start would certainly add the "get up" we women often need to our "go." Like most others at this age, we rearely do that much for ourselves. True survivors need to periodically take an inventory of who we are as we go from stage to stage in our lives. A lovely "make over" could help rejuvenate the person I feel I am on the inside. I think the way we wear our hair, make up and clothes becomes difficult especially if you want to look young and stylish, but look appropriate for one's age!"

Somewhere along the line I lost touch with what is in and what is out, I wear the same jeans and sweats, I am a woman that is in desparate need of a serious makeover, to be honest, I have NO clothes to dress up when we go out to dinner, so I stay home, I feel embarassed wearing what I have, so I live my life at home and do things around the house where I know I can wear my jeans, and believe me alot of my jeans have holes or paint on them, to have professionals show me what is in style and to actually put these clothes on would be like winning the lotto, I am only 56 yr.s young and I put my entire self in your hands. I need your help. Thank you."

"I have had the same look since 1974! The only difference is my weight gain, and my hair is shorter, but still same style. I had to cut off the dead ends and it didn't help at all, in fact it looks worse. I think I am looking horrible lately. Also I'm getting teased by my family that if I had more cats (I have 2 now) I would look like a typical cartoon cat lady! AUGH! What kind of comment is that to make? lol. I have been through a lot with my neck being broke and rebuilt, the surgery being botched; I could go on and on about all of the other health and personal problems I have been through. And I have come through so much more too. But I will leave it at that, you get the picture, I'm sure. My clothes also make me look like I'm stuck in the 60's and 70's, I do love that style, but I need to learn how to update it so I look appropriate for my age and size. On the up side, I was supposed to be paralyzed and stuck in a wheelchair according to doctors by the time I was in my 50's. Instead I am walking without a cane, most of the time now!! A makeover would be a great way to celebrate how I am now starting over, making the best of what I have, and how I am going to get hold of my health, and keep getting better by my own power. This is the other half of my life, I am determined I am going to do something grand with it!! I'm Shaking off the past, and becoming the woman I have always wanted to become. No longer will I let others get in the way, not anymore. I have grown, and learned, and now I'm ready. So wouldn't winning a makeover just be the best way to celebrate the start of it all? I think it would!! And the date of this makeover is Oct. 1st and 2nd! Well my birthday is the 4th! It would make a fabulous birthday present too!! "

It would be great to see what the expert stylists come up with, that will give me that true edge over the professional (and personal) competition out there. It would be fun!!!

"My oh MY! How do I begin? Do I explain the journey of having a child become addicted to heroin and then running away becoming a missing person for over ten years? Or do I just jump to her return and speak about the tumultuous interactions? Or maybe zip ahead to the pregnancy spent in prison and our interactions there? Hmmm, perhaps I should express the toll of bringing her home and later leaving me with the choice of raising my grandson or finding him a new family? I could speak to the self study adolescent developmental stages, brain chemistry and addition and finally arriving at the door of becoming a counselor and in the midst of building prevention program for youth. While any of these would warrant at least one chapter in a book it is needless to day that I have been yanked through a knot hole backwards and could really use a little renewing! "

What are the fashion rules for over 50? I don't want to look like a teenager but I do want to look stylish but not overstated. I recently grew my hair but it's not like it was when I was in my 30's - it's damaged from dying and I don't know how to really style it.

I would give myself a makeover but I don't know how to look. When I look in a magazine everyone looks like a kid. I don't want to look like a kid. I've worked hard and I enjoy my age. However, I don't want to look like an old lady either. Is there a good look for a female that's middle aged. Where do you begin? I have no idea where to start. I go to stores and find nothing I like to wear. The last time I went to a hairdresser everyone said my hair looked worse then before I went. Please ... please...please...where do I start?"

I don't know what hair style would compliment my newly shaped face. I've just let my hair grow out and it is what it is every day. Coloring comes from Walmart and ususally is whatever is the cheapest. Makeup? I can't remember that last time I applied any makeup. Besides, when I was obese who cared then? Now, I would like to know what I should be doing to enhance my new face. Clothing? Wearing others leftovers and the stuff I can get that fits from Goodwill. It would be wonderful to have a wardrobe picked out especially for me. I still look frumpy in clothing. I have lost over 120 pounds and would love to make it a complete transformation."

It had left a spotted purple discoloration patch on my left cheek above a blister that erupted and caused a creeping line, eroding my facial tissue in it's path. In addition, a dark spot appeared below my right eye lid. And yet another dark line trailing down my left jaw bone. Both of my eyes have acquired terrible dark circles beneath them. I have very straight strawberry blonde hair. I prefer to have a long, layered, curly hair style, but have been unable to find a hair dresser that knows how to layer hair. I currently am trying to grow out all of the damage from yet another bad professional night mare. I believe I have Strongyloides, a severe sub tropic helminthe infection. The US medical profession is uneducated in this area of study so my cure has been a long, frustrating ordeal. Currently I am trying food grade DE as a holistic treatment. The scarring on my face has been quite overwhelming since I have always practiced a superb skin care and nutrition regimen. What I would give to get my health back and my face before my illness!"

""Because" as my 3 year old granddaughter says! Seriously, any one of us warrants a makeover. The seasons change, our reasons change, our circumstances change; our health, finances, homes, jobs, partners... all can change in the blink of an eye. Maybe that's why we tend to hold onto outdated looks. It's like a false sense of security or perhaps one way of feeling control. I've started by cleaning out my closets but now have no idea what to buy as a replacement. What's my style today? I walk into a store, get overwhelmed and find myself gravitating towards a new version of what I just donated! So I leave empty handed. I'm often surprised by what I see in the mirror. Sometimes it causes me to smile in delight - other times I look away with fright. So... as my 61st birthday approaches I dream of a new look courtesy of FOF... because!"

I divorced and remarried, and had 2 more children. He got married and had 2 children. But we never forgot about each other. When he called on 12/1, he told me he promised himself he would tell me something before he left this earth that he should have told me years ago. He loved me. I said I loved him, too. We have been together now for six months and I have never been happier. I would like to look better for him -- and for me! "

"I've always been pleased that people would look at me and say "You look just like your Mother"....but now that she's close to 80 and gone naturally gray, it's not such a great idea. I'd like to keep her inner beauty but have an updated, younger style. I've done hand-me-downs for as long as I can recall, and that doesn't help either. How about something unique to me and just my style?"

"At the end of this year I will be getting married and I want a changed look to a younger ooking me. I have gotten in a rut of t-shirt and jeans. I would love help to class up my style. "

"I'm 62 and I don't know how to look other than old. I don't know how to look good at 62. I don't know what to wear, makeup to use and a hair style that is age appropriate. I shop for clothes only to come home empty handed because I ask myself the entire time, "Does this make me look frumpy and old or is this for a younger woman". I don't know what 62 is suppose to look like. "

"I am a teacher and looking good would keep me feeling great about myself and keep me energized for my kids! Everyone loves to see a rose in full, beautiful bloom!"

"I have had basically the same look for 5 of my six kids, would love something hip and modern instead of the typical Mom/Grandma look!"

"I am ready... I am out of work, going to interviews,trying to make an impression. I will be 58 and I need to make sure the prospective employer think of me as a vibrant individual. A new look will give me a boost both physically and mentally. A NEW CAN DO ATTITUDE ATTITUDE!! I am over 50 and fabulous, look at me!"

"Wow, this would be a boon! Following my divorce to get out of an abusive marriage, I've spent the time re-connecting with myself and feel like I'm finally starting to bloom! I would love to have my outside show what I'm feeling inside. And a new hairstyle wouldn't hurt either!"

"My friend Jamie needs this - she's the best friend to many, mother to a teen (no need to add details here), amazing wife and volunteer EXTRAORDINAIRE! She gives back in every way possible and has taken a step away from taking care of herself. She's the most beautiful friend I have and would love her to see it!"

"I've added Jamie's photo as my profile photo as a way to share my excitement for the contest and her potential to be chosen. She turned 5-0 in June with a fabulous sense of humor and laughter. "

"Because, as my husband says, most women don't figure out their best look until they are middle aged. Still looking for mine. I feel 19, and end up shopping at forever21 which is just stupid. Need to get it together. "

"Because I have a whole new outlook on life, and am eager to see where and what I'm going to do next. My role as a caregiver has ended, and I need a new look to help me transition to a new career, at 61."

"okay....going to be 57 in December, just cut 10 inches of dead, unhealthy hair off and went in with photo's and got an old lady hair cut, from a 20 something girl!! what do they think over 50 over the hill!! it made me quite unhappy and disgusted as i am in the prime of my life and it was a big decision to get rid of the hair! because i can't figure out the look for myself that doesn't look like make-up, i don't wear much which doesn't really look great either! i need some help for radiant skin and a little color, any help would be appreciated!"

"I can't imagine anyone not wanting a new look with the help of experts. I value the knowledge of people in their fields of expertise and it would be so awesome to have someone with that expertise use it on me!!!"

"I'm 51 years old, I have two children in college, a husband and I work full-time as a procurement manager, run a horse farm, and my elderly parents live with us. I have a maid, but no outside help with my parents; I look in the mirror after just one year of caring for them, and I look so very tired. I need a change."

"I am at a time in my life where I am re-creating myself into a happier, healthier me. A new look would really boost that transformation (And I don't trust my current hair stylist to give me the look I want). "

"I have had the same haircut, color and style for over 10 years. I am recently divorced, 64 years old and looking for a totally new beginning. I need a new ME to move on with my New life. This would be a perfect solution and make me boost up my confidence. Looking for a New Me and a new life."
