taazThe Biggest Loser, the weight-loss reality sensation, has just wrapped up in the States. That means there will now be a two-week stretch where the show’s stars before and after photos will be inescapable. After all, doesn’t everybody love to see a life-changing journey summed up in two images?

How would you like your own before and after picture? New Website Taaz wants to help you out by allowing you to “try on” different looks from the convenience of home. With over $11 millions page views in a month, you won’t be alone!The social community has several practical applications:

> Create a new hairstyle, print the final product and bring it to your hairdresser.

> Apply virtual makeup to your face and give it to a makeup artist as a guide.

> E-mail the before and after pictures to friends; make them envious or make them laugh.

> Create a profile that allows you to share images, comment on images, provide commentary or have other people ‘touch up’ your face.

Like similar sites, simply register, upload a photo and utilize a palette of thousands of colors. Add eye shadow, lip gloss - even change the color of your eyes. Changes show up on the photo instantly.

Right now it’s a woman’s world on Taaz. But feat not fellow dudes! You’ll be able to see how you look with eyeliner on in the near future.

Currently generating sales from advertising, the site eventually plans to connect users with the products they apply to their image.

The site’s usefulness doesn’t end with photo manipulation. Fashion tips and tricks are also available. Just remember: no white shoes until after Memorial Day!
