I gotta say something about weight loss. Don't get me wrong, I'm telling this as an overweight woman who used to be obese. Losing weight may actually help you become more attractive. I see the difference. The closer I'm getting to the standard, the better I feel with myself. When I lost some weight, I was more willing to go on dates: I wasn't that ashamed of myself anymore. I realize some people don't need weight loss to gain confidence and that's great (people should take care of their health, though, but in most cases, people look for the one on their own level. For instance, attractive people date attractive people and average people date average people. If I'm attracted to cute people only, my chances of dating them are smaller if I'm overweight or obese. Of course, it may happen that an overweight/obese girl would date a slim, handsome guy. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's definitely more difficult for a bigger girl to appeal to slimmer, attractive men. You can't imagine how many times I've heard that I'm too demanding and that I should start seeing people who are more like me. That hurts, but maybe it's true to some extent.

One of my favorite makeovers trope was in Hannah Montana. First of all, I love Lily since she wasn't exactly not like other girls but she wasn't a girly girl either. When Miley thought Lily need a makeover just bc how she acts like one of the guys and so she can get a date to a high school dance. The guy Lily liked asked her to the dance before Lily got a makeover, the whole Matt asking Lily to the dance after Miley told her to act was just coincidence. Miley push to the makeover just bc Matt may change his mind about the dance, he did once she got the makeover since it wasn't Lily. Miley was pointed as the bad guy for changing Lily to someone she wasn't. Lily didn't even want the makeover, she was happy with the way she was, it was Miley who pushed. I can understand Miley trying to teach Lily simple table matters but changing her no.

I think that the only reason anyone should ever change anything about their appearance is to make THEMSELVES happy, not because someone else made fun of them. I got lip fillers and a nose job, but because I wanted that. I have never before been made fun of because of my small lips and large nose. But I do like the way I look better after the surgery. I have also switched styles over the years to make myself happy. If I feel like it, I wear jeans and a sweater, if I feel like wearing a miniskirt and a tight top, I wear that. I diet and work out because I have a small frame and I like the way it feels better when Im leaner. Its all about taking care of yourself to make yourself happy, first and foremost. Its your own body, you can do whatever you want with it.

8 - This one can apply of males as well. I once had a guidance council tell me that I could make better friends if I changed literally everything about myself. The backhanded dig at my friends was bad enough, but I called her out on it saying: I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
1 - In my opinion, glasses make women MORE attractive, except for those weird cat-eye-shaped glasses from the early 60s and the unnecessarily large square-framed glasses of the late 70s.

I hate the glasses trope. Growing up I watched hundreds of movies that made glasses a thing for ugly nerdy people so when I had to start wearing glasses in elementary school because my vision got worse, I cried for hours, begging my mom not to make me wear them because I was afraid other kids would have just another thing to make fun of me for. It really took me years to accept what I look like and actually like myself with my glasses on.

Ive had glasses almost my whole life, theyve become part of my personality. When people think of what I look like, my glasses are a huge part of that. Not to mention that I actually like my face with glasses better, I think they compliment my face. Why should I have to wear uncomfortable eye contacts because someone else doesnt like glasses? I honestly hate that trope.

It has always been about looks. I was once a fat kid with glasses and no sense of fashion. Thus girls ignored me and I had no friends. Then I went away for a summer, lost weight, gained muscle got contacts, and a new wardrobe. When I came back I was turning girls heads and got friends. The lesson is makeovers are like the movies. I like these cliches.

So, apparently it is what's on the outside that counts, since in pretty much all of these films/shows, once the female (or in some cases male) character starts to look good, that's when people start to like/pay attention to them, & it has been this way ever since My Fair Lady, & continued in films like Pretty Woman, She's All That, & Princess Diaries.

The whole 'making over an already attractive person' thing always makes me mad lol especially when yeah they tend to just let their hair down or straighten curly hair and then remove their glasses, a little mascara and lip stick and voila! HOLLYWOOD MAKEOVER lmao that's more like the difference between someone's day look and their going out look

This is why I loved Amy's makeover in Big Bang THeory. She kept her glasses, but just gotten a pair more suited for her face and more trendy. She chopped off few inches off her hair, but did not dramatically alter it. She got clothes that were more modern, but again, she was not suddently showing off lot of skin.

The best makeover for me is Ms. Congeniality for sure.
Sandra Bullock totally took off her make up, grew eyebrows to make herself plain Jane.
That's why when they put all that makeover. I was really like WOW! Girl crush.
Plus her hips were nice and shaped as we all know Men love to see in the woman.

It took me ten years to realize that glasses didn't make me look ugly, because movies like these were the reason I was made fun of at school. Confidence has nothing to do with looks, it is accepting yourself and loving who you are. I'm glad I love the person I have become through the years.

But I gotta say, I guess my personal tastes do tend to lean toward more conventional beauty standards. But you like what you like, you know? One of my former crushes had unbelievable large biceps and pecs. And his face looked like Elijah Woods. I lusted after him so bad!

Definitely the glasses make a person ugly trope is the worst follows closely by hot people pretending to be ugly to be made beautiful just by changing clothes or pulling out a hair tie. I personally find people with glasses more attractive but thats just me.

Since the beginning of humanity, looks are important and in today standards has changed but in the reality the majority of all cases looks continue to be a thing.
We have to remember that beauty (inside & outside) it depends on the eye of the beholder.

Bratz Forever Diamondz had a scene where Sharidan got a makeover with an actual song playing in the background called Shining Like Real Diamonds which is actually the song Forever Diamondz. They're trying so fricking hard to be meta in their own right.

One of the reasons why I love Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs, is Sam makeover, she went from hair down and no glasses to hair hold back and glasses aka being herself. Flint thought she was gorgeous, it wasn't forced on her.

You are most beautiful when you choose the clothes that make you happy and comfortable. Happy is beautiful. Screw social beauty standards and screw these movies for suggesting others' view of you should matter more than how you feel.

I think that the makeover in Pretty Woman is problematic.
Like if you only could be beautiful if you have money and wear expensive dresses! Julia Roberts is also pretty at the beginning of the movie when she has her unique style.

I don't agree with number 4, especially when they switch actors or actresses before and after the time skip. People can change a lot after a growth spurt, to the point that they look like a completely different person

But none compare to the true atrocity that is putting cucumber slices over the eyes. You do know that a makeover scene is f---ed up if that is also included. Sometimes in tandem with an exfoliating mask too.

A trope i hate is the removal of curly/kinky hair. In many cases, a characters life is IMPROVED when they get their hair straighten. It reinforces Euro-centric beauty as the ONLY valid standard of beauty.

You know makeovers is more than just putting on makeup or taking off glasses, its about the confidence to pull it off. The actors may be already attractive but the characters themselves dont see it.

Miss Congeniality doesn't count, tho. They actually fixed their own mistake of the original in the sequel, where gracie was also forced into the same makeover, but they got her back to her old self

I've always loathed that they give an already gorgeous girl frumpy clothes and glasses, and expect us to be surprised when she's made over, as if she wasn't already beautiful to begin with.
