Envision Your Personal Hot Mama Style (Part 3)

Last week, we focused on finding the clothes that reflect your inner hot mama style, and this week, it's time to Envision the rest of your look. We're talking makeup, hair- the works. This part of your personal "brand" is the most fluid and should be reviewed and changed as often you feel like it. For some people (like me), this means every couple of months, for others, their style works for years. If you fall squarely into the latter category, the "Envision" segment of your style journey is essential. You're not just creating a new, fresh look, you're creating an iconic style that screams "YOU."Just make sure you aren't getting stuck in a rut just because it's comfortable. (Hair almost always grows back.) Make sure you try out a few looks and experiment until you find your ideal hot mama style.

A virtual makeover can be a great way to try out a zillion shades of lipstick for free and cut your hair with impunity. I used Taaz.Com to create my sample looks, and I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the colors looked and by how many choices there were. As an added bonus, it will tell you what products you used on your sample look. The selection of hairstyles isn't as diverse if you have textured hair, but this website has more color choices and better makeup application than all the other makeover programs I tried. Oh, and did I mention that it's free?

So, mamas, get busy! I expect to see some snazzy new looks by next week...even if they are only virtual. In fact, at the end of the tour, one hot mama who took our personal style challenge will be featured in an upcoming column. To nominate yourself, just email me a picture of your idea board (from the Discover phase), a picture of your new look (even if it's just the virtual makeover), and tell me how this series affected your life.

And don't forget to tune in next week to Face Your Face and win some big prizes!
