Little girls love to play dress up games and play with their mothers' makeup and perfumes. If your daughter is itching for some more makeover fun, consider putting together a makeover game she can play by herself or with her friends. Using items like lipsticks, hair ribbons and costume pieces, little girls can have hours of fun making each other over. Makeover games would be ideal for a birthday party or sleepover.
Turn a cardboard box with a lid into a makeover costume chest. A box used to store reams of printer paper works well. Paint the outside of the box a color like pink or purple and let dry. Let the kids help decorate the box with items like markers, stencils, sequins and stickers.
Fill the box with costume pieces and costume jewelry. Add items like dresses, hats, feather boas, high-heeled shoes, beaded necklaces, rings and fans.
Collect some inexpensive makeup and place in a shoe box. Check dollar stores for cheap lipsticks and eye shadows. Place some hair accessories in the shoe box as well, like ribbons, scrunchies, clips, hairbands and hair brushes. Place the shoe box inside the dress-up chest.
Give the chest to a group of girls and let them take turns pulling out various items to create different looks.
Give the girls challenges, like making themselves over to look like their favorite Disney princess, movie star or pop idol. Let the girls put makeup on each other or set up a hair and makeup station where you can be the stylist.
Move furniture to the sides of a room and let the girls do a runway walk to show off their look. Put on music in the background to give it an authentic, fashion show feel.
Take photos of the girls as they do their runway walk, acting like paparazzi. Have the girls pose together for a group photo showing off all their makeovers.
Give out prizes for categories like "Most Original Outfit" or "Wackiest Costume." Prizes can be anything from candy to small toys.
