Dramatic Hair and Makeup Makeover

She's had the same hair since high school. TotalBeauty.com's about to change that

The dramatic new cut: "I'm ready for something chic," says our fearless Elizabeth, who usually wears a ponytail. So Gibson cut a pony-proof angled bob with sexy, longer layers in front -- a flattering cut for most women since it lengthens the neck and frames the face. Tip: After blow-drying with a round brush (try Frederic Fekkai Large Round Brush, $65), Gibson flips her part to the opposite side for instant volume and lift. P.S., Do you need volume? Keep away from these worst-rated volumizers.

Wow...She looks great. I love the color on her. I think it ages her in the way of a professional look but not in the way where I would say, "Wow, you look like an old lady". Maybe I should say it's a more grown-up look.

LOVE that they went dark instead of light, LOVE that they went so short, but does anyone else think the new look ages her? I was hoping her bob was going to look sassy and fun, but it doesn't. I also think they should have been more playful with her make-up, I'm not digging the lips.
