Susan Boyle makeover

Susan Boyle insisted she wouldn’t change after she shot to worldwide stardom following her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent. But as she stepped out yesterday it appeared she had been on a shopping trip. The Scottish singer had swapped her matronly look for a new, patterned dress and leather-look jacket, along with a pair of high heels. – from DailyMail

Should Britain’s Got Talent singer Susan Boyle have a makeover before tomorrow’s show? Be honest. Do you think she could do with a bit of lippy, a touch of frizz ease on her hair and maybe a few minutes with Gok Wan to show her how to dress?

Boyle, 47, appeared on the show last weekend, surprising the audience and stunning the judges with her rendition of the Les Miserables tune I Dreamed A Dream. Since then she’s had over 20 million views on YouTube, appeared on CBS, NBC and been duly patronised by everyone from Drew Barrymore to Demi Moore.

Lets take it as a given that our reaction to Boyle proves we are all as shallow and vacuous as Amanda Holden – after all, we get the television presenters we deserve.

“She needs to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.

“The minute we turn her into a glamour-puss is when it’s spoilt,” says paragon of natural beauty Amanda Holden, in today’s Mirror.

When Extra contacted us this morning to help them give this singing sensation a makeover, we couldn’t resist! We kept her look natural, but evened out her skintone with foundation, groomed her brows and opened up her eyes with mascara and soft grey liner.

As for her hairstyle, we tried two looks–a tousled bob and a sleek bob with bangs. Longer, sleeker hair gives her a more polished effect. I prefer the look with the bangs–they give her face more contour. – from DailyMakeover

These photos of Susan Boyle rocking a cute little dress and a hip leather jacket will no doubt have some folks crying “blashphemy!” Ever since the Britain’s Got Talent video of the frumpy, bushy-eyebrowed, never-been-kissed Boyle singing angelically first hit the Web a week and a half ago, many among the sobbing masses have lamented an inevitable post-stardom makeover. Few will blame the sweet Scottish songbird herself but will instead blame a ruthless, unfair entertainment industry that forced a woman with a hidden inner beauty to succumb to a plastic, cookie-cutter standard of external beauty. – from E!
