Veronica / USA 
Have you ever had a makeover?
Hello, my name is Veronica, and I'm from the United States. And my question today is have you ever had a makeover?
I have never had a makeover, but now that I'm answering this question, I feel like that would be a lot of fun. I've actually had this same hairstyle for several years now, so I think a makeover would actually be really cool.
But even though I have not had a makeover, I've seen plenty of TV shows where they do makeovers on people, and I think it is fascinating, especially when you see a person who has made big changes in their life. For example, if someone lost a lot of weight and then suddenly they came in and gave them a makeover with a new hairstyle and perhaps new makeup and teach them how to wear brand new clothes now that their body is completely different. I love seeing the expression on the person's face after their makeover, because they're so happy, and the way that they feel on the inside matches how they look on the outside now, both absolutely beautiful. So even though I've never personally had a makeover, I think that they're really incredible.
