"When I look in the mirror I see a child. I don't see a mom, I don't see a wife, I don't see an adult," says Julie, a petite 26-year-old mother who is often mistaken for someone half her age. "My mother-in-law took me out to eat, I was 5-months pregnant, and I was offered a children's menu!" Such reactions are affecting her confidence and her career. "I used to work in a day-care [center], I wanted to work in the school-age room but they wouldn't let me because they were afraid the children wouldn't take me seriously," she recalls. "I don't want to be cute anymore. I would love to look closer to my age so people would start respecting me more. I want people to notice that I'm not a child."

Likewise, Gisele is in her 40s and is often mistaken for the sister of her four school-age children. "I've tried to do my hair in different hairstyles, I have tried to use makeup to make myself look older," says the 41-year-old who wants to be taken seriously as she starts a job search. "I definitely think it will be harder getting back into the work force if I continue to look as young as I am."

Desperate to look their age, these two women are the perfect candidates for Benjamin Button style makeovers. So Gretta and Project Runway's Tim Gunn step in to pull off dramatic transformations in 30 minutes! Click on the video for the incredible reveal!
