April 19 -- There's nothing like the arrival of spring to make you want to clean out your house and tidy up your yard. But how about spending a little time to give yourself a fresh new look?

Sally Hershberger, celebrity hair stylist and executive director for John Frieda Sheer Blonde, and Jeanine Lobell, founder of Stila cosmetics, appeared on Good Morning America to help two makeover volunteers make the leap from the winter doldrums to the fresh look of spring.

Short Hair, Dramatic Lips

To give her a more dramatic change, Amy's long, straight blonde hair was cut into a more modern bob, similar to the look actress Kirsten Dunst sports.

"She needed a pick-me-up," Hershberger said. "It was dragging her face down, and she just felt like she wanted something fresh for spring, something lighter and modern. So I cut it off in a choppy, modernized bob, and then I put a volumizing hair product in her, which lifted the hair up."

She also used products to help bring out the blonde highlights in Amy's hair.

"You have to put in a product that will keep it lighter and textured, otherwise it will look conservative," Hershberger said. She used Sheer Blonde Spun Gold to add texture.

Because Amy was pale, Lobell used a sheer moisturizer to warm up the color of her skin. To help contour her face, and emphasize the cheekbones, she applied blush more horizontally.

"Where you put your blush makes a big difference," Lobell said.

Amy was wearing a bright pink shirt, but the lip color was pink coral, intentionally a slightly different shade.

"You don't really want to match your lip color with your shirt," Lobell said. "What you want to do is not let the clothes overwhelm you."
