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.

Diana Ross
When blush attacks! The photo on the far left was an example of the paint-by-numbers approach to makeup. (We don't recommend putting two pink circles of blush on your face.) The other photo showed how blending, one of the most important makeup skills, made all the difference.

Paris Hilton
On the far left, Paris looked like she was channeling Barbie with her frosty pink lips and eyes, but for real-life girls, the look seems too forced. In the other photo, she had a subtle, natural look that was much more flattering.
