May 17, 2004 -- Even if they try to look their best, what woman in her 30s, 40s or beyond wouldn't mind turning back the clock a few years?

In the latest "Monday Morning Makeover," Good Morning America met two ordinary working women a newly divorced mother and a newly married jewelry designer who wanted to turn back the hands of time and look 10 years younger in three days.

Good Morning America brought in a glam squad, a team of six glamour/style experts, to help. You can see the final results Wednesday, but here is the progress so far.

Makeover No. 1: Rachel Bertoni is a 46-year-old artisan jewelry maker who lives in upstate New York and has been married for two years. Like many women, a busy work schedule leaves her with little time to focus on her appearance. But she has a gallery opening next month, and expects to see old college friends.

Bertoni wants to look fabulous for the event and feel younger, but has a few areas that need improvement. She has gray hair that has thinned out on top, and her teeth need whitening. She would also like to lose weight.

Makeover No. 2: Jennifer Woodhouse, 38, runs a magazine's Internet division. Her teeth need whitening and she wears glasses. She also has thin lips. She doesn't have any gray hair and has been highlighting her hair, which is long and straight. She is currently dating a 20-something and fears people will think that she is his mother. She has two children.

On Monday, the team of experts went to work. Today, they reported on their progress.

Face First

Dr. Pamela Lipkin, a plastic surgeon, also works on wrinkles. Bertoni's main problem was that her face was beginning to sag, Lipkin said. She had lines around her mouth, and lines that extend from the nose down, the first signs of aging.
