The '''Make-over Mage''' is a wizard with power over genders, located in the house outside the south-west corner of [[Falador]] and north of the [[Crafting Guild]]. The photo booth can be found slightly north of his/her house. The manual describes him/her as "one of the strangest characters you might encounter", probably because he/she changes [[gender]] every ten minutes or so. The Makeover Mage plays a small role in two [[quests]], namely [[Recruitment Drive]] and [[Land of the Goblins]].

For free or by using the [[makeover voucher]], he/she allows players to change their gender and skin tone. The dialogue text will still say that the price is Free, but the confirm button in the gender options menu will have (Free!) next to it. The options he/she gives are to change their skin colour or their gender. By default, the options are set to the current gender and skin colour of player's character. Players who bought membership cards during the period of [[20 October]] to [[4 November]] [[2011]] received the ability to choose [[Green Skin|Green]] as a skin colour choice. (This change can also be made by talking to [[Diango]] in the [[Draynor]] marketplace.)

The Makeover Mage also sells [[Yin yang amulet]]s. They are non-tradeable and offer no bonuses, but can be bought for 100 coins.

There are [[sheep]] just outside his/her house for shearing (players can spin the [[wool]] into a [[ball of wool]] at the [[Crafting Guild]]). There is also a frog in his/her house, which can only be examined and serves no current purpose.

In [[Update:Readers' Letters - March|issue 5]] of [[Postbag from the Hedge]] (dated [[28 March]] [[2006]]), a player wrote to the Make-over Mage to ask what his/her name is. He/she replied with: "My name is Pete, or Peta, depending on my mood."

The Makeover Mage used to give players the option to change their haircuts and [[clothes]] in ''[[RuneScape Classic]]'', but these functions have now transferred to other NPCs. For haircuts, see the [[Hairdresser]] in [[Falador]]. To change clothes, see [[Thessalia]] in [[Varrock]]. After completing [[The Fremennik Trials]], members can change shoes at the clothing shop in [[Rellekka]].

==Quest Involvements==
*[[Recruitment Drive]]: if the player is male, the makeover mage can turn him into a woman in order to defeat [[Sir Leye]] who cannot be defeated by any man. After the quest, [[Sir Tiffy]] will give the male player a [[makeover voucher]] which will allow the player to change his gender free of charge, back when it normally costs 3000 coins.
*[[Land of the Goblins]]: when an attempt to infiltrate the [[Goblin Temple]] fails, [[Oldak]] advises the player to visit the Makeover Mage, who will teach the player how to make a [[Goblin potion]] and will supply the secondary ingredients: the rare [[Pharmakos berries]].

==Trivia==
*The Make-over Mage, [[Sabreen]], [[Beigarth]], [[Prissy Scilla]] and the [[Oracle]] are the only non-general [[Non-player character|NPCs]] in [[RuneScape]] that have ever changed their genders, but only the mage does it knowingly.
*On 25 August 2010, coinciding with an appearance update, four new skin colours were added to the mage's repertoire, allowing players to play as characters with even paler or darker skin tones.
*It is possible for the make-over mage to change gender while you're talking to him/her. If this happens, his/her chathead will change starting at his/her next comment.
*If a player has completed Recruitment Drive and uses a voucher received from the quest, the mage will act surprised that the voucher still exists since the service is now free.
*The female chathead in the makeover interface has green eyes, which players could only have while wearing certain types of hoods, such as a [[cooking hood]].
