Best Celebrity Makeunders
These stars finally took that "less is more" adage to heart when it came to changing up their hairstyles and makeup
A transformation in the form of a makeover is hypnotizing to watch and there's just something voyeuristically fun about it. You know, seeing someone go from drab to fab, geek to chic, blah to beautiful, etc. And many budding starlets scream "makeover" when they are fresh off the boat -- before top makeup artists, hair and fashion stylists, nutritionists and trainers have had a chance to get their hands on them.
Then, while celebrities are in the throes of trying out different hair colors and styles and makeup trends, searching for their best look (and maybe themselves) in the process, hits and misses are inevitable. Unlike us though, they get immortalized via photos that the free world has access to (in places like "Us Weekly" not Facebook). Since some of the "hits" happen when celebs are wearing less makeup, more natural looking hairstyles and not committing any beauty crimes, we decided to do a round up of the best celebrity makeunders -- because really, makeunders don't get quite enough love.
See the makeunder photos now.
Not all of these makeunders are created equally though. For the starlets that regularly rock borderline trainwreck-y beauty looks, their "after" photo represents a serious makeunder moment. But for some of the other celebs, their over-the-top look might have simply been the result of an off night when they decided to take a big beauty swing … and missed. Nonetheless, less is usually more when it comes to beauty as the following photos of these famous women prove: Drew Barrymore, Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, Avril Lavigne, Scarlet Johansson, Denise Richards, Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Ashlee Simpson Wentz and Kate Gosselin.
If you delayed gratification and made it this far, now go and check out the best celebrity makeunders.
