Woman Treats Herself To A Life-Changing Makeover For Her 66th Birthday

Sep 17, 2020

Every once in a while, it’s important to treat yourself — no matter at what stage of life. Tara Tinder, who hails from Beloit, Wisconsin, did exactly that for her 66th birthday. Tara visited Christopher Hopkins, also known as The Makeover Guy, for a stunning beauty transformation that serves as a good reminder that we should all take time out of our busy lives to do something for ourselves.

Before Tara’s makeover, she reminisced about her life in the 80s and 90s, telling viewers that she was “fabulous” during those golden years.

“I went through the 80s and 90s, and I had very long eyelashes. People thought I was wearing false eyelashes for many years. I was fabulous,” Tara explains in her makeover video.

But as the years went by, the trials and tribulations of life and aging took their toll on Tara’s health. Not only does Tara admit that she never thought she “would be this heavy in my life,” but she also explains that she has lost her thyroid after surviving two forms of cancer.

But that’s where The Makeover Guy comes in. For years, Christopher Hopkins has made it his mission to transform the lives of women like Tara who have gone through a lot in life. And as Tara explains, she doesn’t necessarily want to look good for other people. Rather, being “put together,” is, as she says, “more for me.” In other words, Tara says that she wants to be “the best that I can be where I am in this moment.”

And The Makeover Guy clearly makes that a reality for Tara. While he doesn’t radically transform anything about Tara’s look — her hair remains the same shape and color — the 66-year-old cancer survivor looks years younger following her makeover. Her skin looks soft and vibrant, and her hair takes on a beautiful blond sheen. Not to mention that Hopkins also managed to give Tara her wonderful long eyelashes back!

No matter what life throws at you — and no matter how old you are — Tara’s stunning makeover just goes to show that “treat yourself” ought to be a mantra for everyone. And beyond that, Tara also had some advice for viewers who’ve gone through similar hardships in life.

“Sometimes at this age, you realize that there are some things that are out of your control, and you have to make the best of whatever it is. You put into perspective: if this is the worst thing that happens to me, I’m fine.”

Wow, what an incredible look. What do you think about Tara's transformation? Let us know, and pass this on to remind others to "treat themselves!"
