Dress Up Games Online: Styling, Makeover and Salon Tips
Updated
Dress up games online come in five kinds: doll and avatar makers, outfit styling for a model or an occasion, makeovers that start with skin care, salons where clients come in for hair or nails, and fashion battles that judge your choices. Most have no timer and no score, so the goal is a look you like; the battles and runway runners add a test. Below is how each kind works, with games from the dress up games collection.
Five kinds of dress up games
| Kind | What you do | Try first |
|---|---|---|
| Doll and avatar makers | Build a face, hair and outfit from parts | Lovely Doll Creator |
| Outfit styling | Dress a model or a character for an event | Fashion Show Dressup |
| Makeovers | Treat the skin, then add makeup and accessories | Pimple Treatment Makeover Salon |
| Salons | Serve a client: hair, nails, a spa routine or a dye job | My Fashion Hair Salon |
| Fashion battles | Pick looks that the game judges | Fashion Battle Queen |
Nearly every game below plays with a mouse click or a tap, as its own instructions say, so it works the same way on a phone and a computer.
Doll and avatar makers
These start from a blank character. You pick the face first, then hair, then clothes.
- Lovely Doll Creator builds an avatar face from skin tones, eye colors, hairstyles and hair colors.
- Dress Up Bean gives your avatar hundreds of fashion items: clothes, hairstyles and makeup.
- Ball Jointed Doll Creator has you choose a posture, hairstyle, expression and eye color, add accessories, and save the doll as a wallpaper on your device.
- Chibi Anime Princess Doll builds a doll from skin color, hair, eyes, mouth and costume.
- Lucky Doll makes webtoon-style characters, with face, skin, hair and makeup, and lets you add stickers to the scene.
Set the skin tone and eye color before anything else. Every later color sits next to them, so a hair or outfit color that clashes is easier to spot early.
Outfit styling: dress for the occasion
Styling games hand you a model and a wardrobe. Some add a brief: an event, a theme or a style card.
- Fashion Show Dressup has 6 models to style with clothes, hairstyles, accessories and a background.
- Fashion Show Dress Up Game has over 180 items, hairstyles and accessories, and none of them are locked.
- Dressup Wheel spins a wheel of style questions, then asks for four outfits with matching jewelry and accessories.
- Wedding Style And Royal Style asks you to choose between two royal-theme styles for two friends.
- Celebrity Core Fashion Battle deals a fashion card that sets each character's style, then you dress them to match it.
How to build an outfit
- Start with the biggest piece, a dress or a top and bottom. Pick shoes and jewelry last.
- Choose two or three colors and repeat them in the accessories.
- Follow the brief. If the game names a wedding, a theme or a style card, every piece should fit it.
- Change one piece at a time, so you can see what each change does.
- Try things you would not pick. Diy Makeup Artist's own advice is to keep trying outfits and accessories until you find the match.
Makeover games: skin first, makeup second
Makeover games follow a routine, and their own descriptions put it in the same order: clean and treat the skin, then do the makeup, then add accessories and clothes.
- Pimple Treatment Makeover Salon runs the skin care in steps: a popper for the pimples, a cleanser, a scrub, then a moisturizer.
- Spa Day Makeup Artist makes you the owner of a salon with 6 services. The facial comes first: wash the face, pluck the eyebrows, pop the pimples. A hair mask and accessories follow.
- Makeup Stylist starts with a facial for two clients with skin problems. Then you pick a ready-made makeup look or apply one yourself with the makeup tools.
- Diy Makeup Artist opens with a character who is a mess. Clean her up before the makeup and the outfit.
- Makeover Studio gives two clients a full makeover with makeup, accessories and outfits.
- Glam Doll Salon covers style, makeup and hair, then has you dress the model until the look is finished.
Do the steps in the order the game gives them. The makeup is meant to go on a face that has been through the skin care first.
Salon games: hair, nails and dye
Salon games turn the makeover into a service. A client sits down, and you work through their routine.
- My Fashion Hair Salon goes hair treatment, wash, homemade hair mask, then the hairstyle, then headwear, necklaces and earrings.
- Hair Stylist DIY Salon gives you tools to wash, curl, comb, cut and dye.
- Fashion Short Hair Studio asks for a short haircut for each of three clients.
- Candy Nail Art Fashion is a candy nail salon: keep the customers happy with nail art and nail jewelry.
- Beautiful Toenail Salon starts with foot care, then nail polish and accessories.
- Tie Dye Game puts you in a beach tie dye shop, where you design clothes to suit each customer's appearance and add stickers or spray patterns. In The Dye DIY the requests come from clients too.
When a client has a request, read it before you pick up a tool. The style that suits one customer in Tie Dye Game is part of the challenge.
Fashion battles and runway runners
A few dress up games judge the look, and some turn it into a run.
- Fashion Battle Queen is a swipe runner. At every crossroads you pick a dress, hairstyle or accessory; one wrong turn can ruin the look, while the right choices build a combo.
- Makeover Run 3D has you slide to pick clothes along the way, and your matches decide whether you win the prince's favor.
- Summer Runway Challenge asks for summer outfits, makeup and accessories before the models walk the runway.
In a runner there is no time to think at each gate. Decide the look before the run starts, then every choice is quick.
Common mistakes
- Picking jewelry and shoes before the main piece.
- Using every color in the wardrobe in one outfit.
- Ignoring the brief, the event or the client's request.
- Skipping the skin steps in a makeover to get to the makeup.
- Guessing at the gates of a runner instead of choosing the look first.
