Christina ignored one of the first rules of makeup -- which is to only play up one feature at a time. Instead she had dramatic eyes, lips and cheeks, far left, which was just too much. In the other photo, she sported toned-down eyes and cheeks, making her red lips the focus -- much better.

Tyra Banks
Red eye shadow is rarely a good move. It either makes you look tired, or in Tyra's case on the far left, demonic. She made much nicer use of warm shadows in the other photo.

Denise Richards
Denise put on her "leave it" face, far left, for a Pussycat Dolls performance, and she did look like a doll ... an inflatable one (wink, wink). In the other photo, she appeared soft, natural and human (always a good look).

Amy Winehouse
We won't criticize Amy's signature eye makeup; it's part of her persona. But we will use these photos as an example of the value of foundation (and a good night's sleep). The photo on the far left also showed the need for a good lip balm.

Pamela Anderson
We think the look on the far left was supposed to be sexy but it came across as a little scary, not to mention borderline drag queen. Pamela showed that less makeup was definitely sexier in the other photo.
