This attachment should be appropriate for this thread. I am not sure though if they have gone through 'extreme' makeovers but I agree , a skillful MU application can totally change one's appearance.

This attached photo was taken at a competition in June
2006. The competition was between 9 women for best makeover.
They had every possible beauty treatment available to them
over a period of 12 hours before the contest. Look at the before
and after photos. It really is Shocking!
Conclusion - there are no ugly women * (see below), only
poor women.... If you had the money....Good Grief!!!
BTW, the woman 2nd from the left won the contest.
