Tyra's Glam Squad are the fiercest in the business. Yaniece dresses Tyra to the T; Oscar knows how to give Tyra bouncy curls and Valente always makes her eyes pop.

The Glam Squad gave 4 deserving women the chance of a lifetime to be models for a day with out-of-this-world makeovers.

Now they're dishing out some of their beauty and fashion secrets just for you!

Yaniece Thomas, Wardrobe Stylist
We all know that times are tough right now, which can make shopping for the latest fashion trends a bit difficult. Check out the thrift stores in your area. That is a great way to find clothes you will love, keep your wardrobe looking new and fresh, and you'll also be putting money back into the economy!

Another thing I love to do with my friends is have a monthly Diva Swap. These are my all time fave. Each month we all get together at someone's house and have a themed party. Everyone brings some of their gently worn garments and get "Diva Dollars" at the beginning of the night. Then we have a bunch of food and drinks and start bidding on the clothes we want. By the end of the night we've all had a ton of fun and walk away with new clothes and you don't have to spend a dime! It's a fun night with the girls and kills the shopping urge!

Oscar James, Hair Stylist
The way to get curls like Tyra is to start with blow dried hair. Take 1-inch sections of hair and spray it with a light holding spray. Twist hair around a quarter size curling iron and hold for a few seconds. Use a small iron for tight curls and a larger iron for softer waves and curls; the larger the iron, the looser the wave. Pull the end of the section through the curling to finish the ends. For a more tousled and fuller look curl one row to the left and the next to the right and keep alternating. This keeps the curls from clumping together and makes the curls sit on top of one another and makes the hair appear fuller.

Valente Frazier, Make-Up Artist
Are you tired of seeing girls with clumpy glue on their false lashes? Well, here's a simple tip to make your falsies appear seamless and flawless. First chose glue that's made for use on the eyes, not glue for weaves! Weave glue should stay reserved for your head ladies. Weave glue is much stronger, but can permanently damage your lash bed, inhibit lash growth, and rip the lashes you do have out! Duo Lash Glue is a perfect product to consider. It is a latex formula that is gentle for the eyes. This product comes in two shades, black and white. I use the black glue on Tyra.

Once you've taken the false lashes out of the cart, take the head of a bobby pin and apply a small dab of glue to it. Gently apply the glue to the band (the part that fits on the eye) of the false lash. Repeat this step once more to assure that you have a sufficient amount of glue to adhere to your lash line. The key is not to use too much so you don't get that clumpy gluey look. Wait a minute for the glue on the lash band to become a little tacky and then apply the false lash to your lash bed (the base of the lashes).

To help you see where you are putting the false lash, try squinting the eye you are applying the lash to, keeping it slightly open. Tyra does this with her eyes all the time when I'm applying her lashes.

Make sure before you glue the lashes on that they are not too long or too short. Hold the false lash up to your eye to measure it. If it's too long, snip a small piece off the end. For an even, more believable lash, try a false lash that's not too long and unnatural looking. Also try cutting the false lash in half. Apply the half lash to the end of your lash bed. Mascara is the final touch that seals the deal. It helps to blend your natural lashes together with the falsies for a final flawless finish.

Finally, these are three make-up must-haves I recommend!


  • Makeup Forever Face and Body Foundation

  • L'OrĂ©al Paris' Double Extend Mascara

  • Iman Cosmetic's Afterglow Bronzing Powder

Dear Tyra My name is Tiesha and I am dealing with a dilemma right now. I have a very androgynous look and I really don't have any definition to my face. I really never had a problem with how I look until this past year and most recently. I am so tiered of people questing or saying that I am a man and it does not help that I am tall and skinny. This mainly comes from the african american community. I have tried to use make up in hope that it would make difference but I sometimes look dragish. Is there any s
 
From since I can remember I've been a fan of yours & you truly are such a wonderful inspiration to me. Your promotion of sister-hood, your beauty, your talent but most of all your "realness". I LOVE IT. Tyra, everyone has an insecurity about themselves. Mine is my legs. I think they are too skinny and I can't remember the last time that I wore a skirt/shorts....basically anything that will show my legs. The last time I did, I was constantly thinking about the fact that my skinny legs were exposed for so many people to see. I will do any and everything so that people don't see them. I'm 25 and overall I am happy with my body. What tips and/or advice can you share with me in terms of clothing & the way I should style myself & still feel confident showing my legs!??! PLEASE HELP TYRA, THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE!!! =(

Tyra, My name is Felicia and im a 23 year old living in Newport beach. I have always wanted to model but have never been given the chance being that im 5'5 with some tattoos. Now i live in one of the richest places in California and i dont feel up to par with all my friends who have unlimited bank accounts and can dress and get their hair done when ever they want. I on the other hand work full time while trying to go to school and pay all my own bills at the same time. I never feel as pretty becuase all my clothes are old or from cheap stores and my hair is never dyed or cut because everywhere around here is so expensive. I just dont feel good enough about myself anymore, and i would be so thankful and greatful to be able to recieve a makeover so i can feel beautiful in my own skin for once. Thank you for listening at least.
 
TYRA TYRA TYRA.. I sat and watched your show today with my daughter. She's 21 and is finally coming into her own self. She's been overweight most of her life, then just when we thought the baby fat was coming off, she was diagnosis with Juvenile diabetes. Talking off weight seems impossible when you have to have carbs to survive. She's been teased all her life, is defensive because of it. Bring her into womanhood with a makeover. How about a mother daughter makeover. Menopause and a makeover! You inspire not only the younger generation, you make all the moms want to be young again.. We (moms) are so proud of you. Thank you.
 
hey tyra. my name is jessica i watched your show about the fantasy makeover and i have to say i would love to be on the show and get a a fantasy makeover. i've been physically beaten by logical father when i was a child and i want the world to know that you can over come anything. i am a survivor. i would like my photoshoot to be me as a a bird. or something that reprents the strong person i am now. i am 15 years old and live in los angeles california. i am not so thin and no so thick. a but in between. hope to hear from you soon. thanks. much love. jessica.
