Glamour gives 28-Year-Old Christina Gibson a hot new makeover.

Finally over a breakup, Cristina Gibson needed a new look she loved. Celeb stylist Mark Townsend took her shorter, blonder, better.
















Before

Like so many women before her, Cristina Gibson, 28, longed for a big change after her relationship ended. “I wanted something more sophisticated,” she says. Dove stylist Mark Townsend felt all that length elongated her face, so he cut eight inches and gave her sideswept bangs (styled with just a scrunch of Dove Style+Care Nourishing Amplifier mousse, $4, drugstore.com).

It doesn't really matter what WE think she looks like, it only matters how she feels about her own looks. If this look makes her feel more self confident then good for her!

I think she would be prettier with her natural hair color.  Do you all want fake or real?  It seems like the makeup people are trying too hard to sell makeup.
