Looking to ID a YA book about a shy high school girl who lives alone with her father-her mother has died or maybe left. She likes a popular boy in school, and he is somewhat friendly with her. She is befriended by a popular, outgoing girl who teaches her about makeup (they go to a department store and the shy girl buys an expensive lipstick) and how to be more confident and outgoing. In the meantime, the popular girl makes herself over to be more shy and quiet and eventually wins the boy’ attention.
This sounds like it could be “The Great Lakeside High Experiment” by Neil Selden.
