Lighten Your Locks

There's nothing like a bad hair day to dull your outlook on life. Cheer yourself up with some balayage highlights. Unlike foils, balayage uses a painting technique that results in more natural looking color. Celebs like Drew Barrymore, Rachel Bilson, and Jessica Biel are all familiar with the popular salon treatment.

Kissable Color

A bright lipstick is the easiest way to wear 2012's trendy colors. A bright pop of pink can go a long way. Try Maybelline's 24 Hour Super Stay Lip Color in Keep Up the Flame ($9.99, Maybelline.com) for long-lasting color.

Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe

Michelle Williams' transformation from indie Brooklynite to Hollywood's beloved bombshell is the most notable movie makeover in a year when biopic metamorphoses were abundant. From Leo's J. Edgar and Meryl's Iron Lady, to Glenn Close in drag and Rooney Mara's gothic undertaking, we've compiled the 10 Best Movie Makeovers you'll be hearing about through awards season.

Glenn Close as Albert Nobbs

Glenn Close has already garnered Oscar buzz and a Golden Globe nod for her portrayal of Albert Nobbs, a woman living as a man in 19th century Ireland. Close tried to bring the character, originally born in short story, to the big screen for almost 30 years but worried that close-ups and HD would make it more difficult than a stage production. Judging by previews (the film hits theaters in January) Close has nothing to fear, except maybe a poorly written acceptance speech.

Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover

This award-season veteran may finally get his golden statue thanks to an Eastwood-directed makeover that spans decades, not to mention Whitehouse cabinets. While J. Edgar moved slowly through 2 ½ hours, Leo aged quickly from a twenty-something law student to the first director of the FBI. While his performance is impressive, if this is what Leo's going to look like in 20 years all those VS models should jump ship.
