Celebrity mugshot makeover

 
 
 
When regular folk make a mistake like breaking the law, most of the world doesn’t take notice.  There might be a write up in the local paper or gossip among the neighbors.  But for the most part, a person can keep their dumb choices confined to the safer haven of home and local community.
When a famous celebrity messes with the law, however, it is national (or even international) news.  To top it off, there are usually mugshots with questionable beauty choices to make the situation even more humiliating.
  
And now, I present to you, in random order, the top ten celebrity mugshots from the last decade, complete with makeover suggestions and tips. 
 
Please rate each candidate on a scale of 1 through 5.
- the lowest score. There is no amount of beauty help for this person. They are a lost cause. 
3 - The right skincare, and a little bit of concealing and blending would help immensely.
5 - The highest honor. They primped, pampered and showered themselves with all the skincare, makeup, and haircare products they could find. They look fabulous!
 
Happy voting!!!
 

Paris Hilton. Once an airhead, always an airhead. But you got to give the girl credit. She made sure her MTV red carpet appearance was right before this photo. Her carefully applied eye makeup and perfectly styled hair complete this fetching “off to jail” photo. Paris must have made her mama proud!

Khloe Kardashian. This is the best picture of Khloe ever. Her eyeliner is sexy and sultry, she has just the right amount of blush, and the come hither stare surely made the prison guards happy to see her. She, like Paris, knows how to beautify the right way.

Kumari Fulbright.  This lesser known young woman (what Kathy Griffin might refer to as D-list) was a former beauty queen and law student. Her mugshot should be entitled “Hot Mess”. This is a dire beauty situation. Maybe she should have thought about how her fledgling career might be ruined with release of this image.

Lindsay Lohan.  Lindsay always looks better with less makeup. But from the looks of this picture, girl needs to start applying the SPF more often. If she isn’t careful, those cute freckles are going to turn into what are known as age spots.

Mindy McCready.  The country singer sure had plenty to sing about after this photo, which looks like she was in an altercation. After antiseptic is applied, Dermablend would work wonders for that cut. It can be used as undereye concealer as well. Voila, a brighter Mindy.

Heather Locklear.  Oh deer! The former Melrose Place star looks “caught in the headlights”. She should add a little Bumble and Bumble surf spray to give body and wave to her hair, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer to even out the complexion, and a dab of eye makeup remover to get rid of the mascara runs.

Mischa Barton. She could use a good shampoo and a new dye job. The greasy, just rolled out of bed look should have been left in the 1990s, where it belongs. Other than that, Mischa is a pretty girl and actually doesn’t look too bad here.  (Mischa Barton, AP)

Dawn Wells.   Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island was driving around under the influence with a stash of drugs. She looks like someone’s sweet mom or grandma. Looks can be deceiving, can’t they? She doesn't need to change much, except maybe that weird surprised expression.

Nick Nolte.  Nick used to be classified as a handsome man. The hair, the awful Hawaiian print shirt, and the pained look in his eyes are all just too much. Someone needs to haul his ass to a celebrity stylist asap.  

(Nick Nolte, AP)

Phil Spector.  He was recently convicted of a 19 year sentence for the murder of Lana Turner.  It seems that he got  some really great pointers on how to dress up his mugshot, because Spector now has hair plugs. In a previous mugshot, he was balding. First you kill someone, and then you have bad style? 'Nuff said.
