Barbie: Magic Hair Styler

1997

Choose either Barbie, Kira, Christie or Teresa and style her just the way you want. Customize her hair (cut, grow, curl or brush), her make-up (eyeshadow, lipstick, blush or even fun fake tatoos) and choose her clothes and accessories, all according to the party she'll be attending to tonight. Once you're done styling, watch your chosen model showing off her outfit in 3D, and you can even take pictures, frame them and print them.

Storyline

Players could cut and style Barbie, Kira, Christie, or Teresa's hair, as well as regrow hair with a specific lengthening tool. They could also apply makeup including eyeshadow, lipstick, blush or "fake" tattoos. Application of makeup is limited to appropriate areas for makeup and using offbeat colors can trigger a "that looks weird" response from the game. Players could also add jewelry and thematic accessories. At the end of the styling session players can be "treated to a video of your model at her special event -- wearing the look you've created for her." Accessories meant to go with a certain career are limited to nurse, fireman, gym coach, or construction worker.
