This is the first time I've come across 'reguapa'. It's regarding a painist doing a photo session. For the UK.
Al volver a Madrid me esperaba una sesión de fotos para renovar toda mi imagen. El fotógrafo escogido fue (name1) y la sesión se hizo en su maravilloso estudio. Una sesión de fotos tiene un trabajo previo que casi nadie ve: escoger bien el mensaje que se quiere transmitir y para ello, escoger vestuario, peluquería y maquillaje, atrezzo… Mi amiga y estilista (name2) **me puso reguapa** (gracias a las firmas (fashion brands)) y (name3) (prensa e imagen) estuvo como siempre al pie del cañón.

made me look beautiful
Not much inspiration here, but maybe you can take it and come up with something better yourself.

Well, no, you could add a bit more to it, "very" could help, but something more expressive would be better. Like I say, my inspiration isn't working so well today.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Henry - so 'reguapa' is basically the same as 'guapa' then? |

: I would perhaps only add "very" before beautiful

James A. Walsh
: Absolutely! I particularly came across the use of 're' in my 18 months in Argentina. Nothing to do with 'again'. I always associate it to 'really'. I guess in this case 'really beautiful' could be rendered 'hot'!

Gracias, James. Here we use "re..." and also "requete..." (one step higher). And yes, "made me look really hot" would turn me on.

: Yes, I lived in Guatemala and they also use "re" to mean "very" as James says they do in Argentina too. You could have a few laughs with "repollo" used like that!

gorgeous
I would use gorgeous over beautiful or very beautiful.
Just my 2 cents.
Made me look gorgeous!

I've never hear of "reguapa" but I have heard of "requeteguapa" (i.e. a more emphatic form of "guapa").
una chica requeteguapa- a really attractive girl.
