Give Your Boyfriend a JAKEover

With all the pretty boys out there making the ladies swoon, the boy next door is suddenly willing to develop a beauty routine. Willing doesn't necessarily mean able. For the guys that need help and the girls who want to get them there, here's how to get an Affordable Hollywood Face - aka the JAKEover! 

For the fuller brow: Rapidlash was created to help fill out thin brows. Although sexy-face Jake Gyllenhaal is boyishly good looking, he has well-defined features such as thick, manly brows. Guys should not add a dramatic arch to their brow, though it should go from thick to thin as it goes outward across the top of the eye.

The perfect length for messy bed hair is about two-inches, longer depending on the style desired. Shorter than that and it's basically a crew cut. With a well-layered, longer cut, some heat and a little pomade should mold the look perfectly. Blow dry and straighten with the Solano Turbo Ultra Light and Sedu Revolution Pro Shortie Mini Styler Iron both available at www.folica.com then style with Paul Mitchell Dry Wax or try Redken Maneuver; they're top notch! Guy tip: Unless you have super thick, curly hair, don't flat-iron from the root; focus on the ends and quickly smooth the rest if needed.

A little stubble never hurt a man's hot-meter ranking, but overgrown, wryly whiskers say got any spare change? For carefully carved facial hair, the Panasonic Professional Rechargeable Trimmer does the trick. For $40 at Sally Beauty Supply, it can't be beat.

Keep clean and green with the multi-purpose  Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap - a very inexpensive body soap and shampoo that's eco-friendly and celebrity approved.

With the right grooming tools, any dude can go from frat boy to leading man!
