Nerdy Girl Makeup Salon

Scrubbing comes before styling: the salon station is a mess when you walk in, sticky counters and clutter everywhere, so the first job is wiping it down before you touch a single brush. Once the station shines, the actual makeover starts.

You work through skin care, foundation, eyeshadow and blush, then move to hair styling and a manicure to finish the look. Glasses swaps and braces removal are tucked into the options too, small touches that turn a shy, book-loving client into someone ready for picture day.

This makeover game leans on that before-and-after gap harder than most, since half your time goes to scrubbing rather than styling.
