Your question asks about countertops, but below that you talk about cabinets. Which ever one you want to 'dress-up', the simplest way is to paint.

Which ever one you want to do - or both. I highly recommend you use your search engine and read more than one article. You can also go to youtube.com and search the same two type of items to paint. The same with Pinterest.com. Read as much as you can and/or watch as many videos as you can until you are really familiar with the process for either one. Knowledge is power - You can do this!
you can use countertop restoration kits from rustoleum or gianni
You can easily paint them a faux granite! Make sure to use a top quality base paint made to stick to formica and remove all the gloss prior to starting.
