Kim Kardashian
Before: Back when she was merely known as Paris Hilton's BFF, Kardashian looked like a cast member of the "Jersey Shore." Her uneven skin tone, mega cleavage, dark tan and boxy eyebrows were a harsh combo.
After: Five seasons after "Keeping up with the Kardashians" and a leaked sex tape, Kim is a household name, has a perfectly glowing complexion and perhaps has had her huge implants reduced in size.

Haven't we all heard that sometimes to fix a problem, you just need to throw a little money at it? Well, for most of us gals, this isn't always an option, but for celebrities it's practically how they do (beauty) business.
That's why when we look at red carpet photos and magazine covers, it's easy to get down on ourselves thinking, "how in the world are they so gosh darn perfect!?" So we decided that instead of letting their perfection frustrate us, we'd do something more productive, like remember that without fame and fortune, these flawless celebrities look a lot like us. Because the truth is, which we're sure you're well aware of, being famous allows you the luxuries of having regular facials, dermatologist visits, access to the best hairstylists, colorists, dentists and plastic surgeons in the country. That all means that if they have skin problems, acne, frizzy hair, crooked teeth, flat chests, big noses or the like, they can quickly see to it that these "problems" get "fixed."
