The makeover debate surrounding “Britain's Got Talent†competitor Susan Boyle has successfully shed light on our culture's constant need to improve ourselves. Must a talented woman in the spotlight wear makeup, have perfectly-tweezed eyebrows and look like a model?
Whether it's through bizarre beauty rituals, pricey plastic surgery or tech-savvy virtual makeovers, we've collected a series of unusual beauty makeovers that Susan Boyle will happily be spared fromâ€"at least for now.
Implications - Perhaps the most intriguing of these bizarre makeovers is the celebrity portraits made out of garbage, which is pretty self-explanatory, but still quite a sight to see. The Simpsons makeover application is sure to please those who want to see themselves in Springfield with yellow skin and an overbite.
