Total makeover kit
I’m pretty sure you have to confirm the changes before it is used. I don’t recall exactly because it has been a while since I used one.

A single character may modify their appearance settings for height, physique, skin color, markings, face, hair, even gender. Race and profession will remain the same. The kit is consumed on accepting a new appearance.

Yes, I’ve tried out the total makeover kit on a couple of characters without using it, just to see what changes I could make. As long as you don’t confirm the changes you can use it to preview.
