Many women (and some men) put in a great deal of work and effort to constantly show their beautiful visages and bodies to the world. Seeing the behind-the-scenes process of becoming so beautiful — for men — is a terror right up there with running into your average masked slasher killer. The Cucumber Facial. Hair up in curlers. Girdles and corsets. Being Covered in Mud. Wrap treatments that turn one into a Bandage Mummy. Legs and/or armpits unshaven. Any man catching any woman in this pre-glamorous condition will be rooted to the spot, or run screaming. Occasionally, it is this horrifying for other women. This also includes seeing women without their makeup and other glamour accoutrements: wigs, false eyelashes, etc. Then there's the Truth in Television beauty rituals which can be really horrifying in a non-comedic manner and can be, but aren't as often, Played for Drama: Painful: Tweezing, threading, sugaring, waxing, razoring, shaving. Piercing of the ears (and other body parts). Dangerous: Chemical skin and hair treatments. Relaxers. Some diets. Botox which is actually injecting botulism toxin into the skin. Skin lightening/bleaching. Tanning. The Brazilian Blowout, which contains formaldehyde. Deadly: Some chemical treatments. Surgeries like the lap band. The one undergoing the beauty treatments is almost Always Female, though when a man is in such a state, it's Played for Laughs. The Double Standard says it is unmanly to want/need such treatments to look good. Though this hasn't always been the case, nor is it the case in every culture. In fact, in some cultures and at some times in history: the exact opposite was true. Very old works or works modeled on very old works may therefore feature men in this role. Compare Women's Mysteries and Wondrous Ladies Room for other female-only tropes that confuse and bewilder primitive males. Related to Cosmetic Catastrophe, where the results of the beauty treatment are terrifying. See Uncanny Valley Makeup for when cosmetics are applied in what is meant to be a normal manner but comes out being scary anyway. See also Plastic Bitch. While the Cucumber Facial is portrayed as scary to look at with the cream covering the face and vegetable matter over the eyes, facials are in the main quite harmless, and often beneficial when done properly. Done improperly, they can remove layers of skin. The salon version of these treatments is usually more of a Women's Mysteries trope and usually part of a montage before She Cleans Up Nicely. The home version is almost always played for laughs, and more often than not goes horribly wrong — especially if hair dye is involved. Lastly, although the trope is called Cosmetic Horror, it can and does include beauty treatments beyond the cosmetic (from corsets on outward) that induce horror when seen as part of the treatment, or just from what they do to the wearer. Has nothing to do with Cosmic Horror... Hopefully. See also Weight Loss Horror for instances in which attempts to look better can backfire horribly. |

Tom and Jerry: There's a rare male example in "Downhearted Duckling". Jerry puts curlers, a mud mask, and a corset on a duckling who is suicidal due to being convinced he's ugly. The beauty regime trappings cause Tom to freak out and run away at the sight of him, making the duck's complex worse. The Black maid character, Mammy Two Shoes, was often seen from the legs down with the lower parts of a girdle visible, for comedy's sake. The white lady of the house, however, was never seen less than perfect. However, in the more recent update of Tom and Jerry tales, Mrs. Two Shoes is white and chubby. |

Horrible Histories has a sketch about a lady of the Georgian era putting on her hair and makeup; the end result is ugly, albeit in a silly way, and most of the makeup is made from dangerous or disgusting stuff. (Among other things, she shaves off her real eyebrows and replaces them with mouse fur.) | |

In the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode 'Super Model', Master Shakes gets a series of horrendous cosmetic alterations through Meat Grinder Surgery, all of which he believe make him beautiful. He ends up having Frylock undo them all, but only because he finds out all the implants' fat came from his buttocks, which end up turning it concave. Afterward, he's still covered in scars and inexplicably has a human face sewn onto his back, which as usual are gone by the next episode | |

Spoofed in Tank Girl. Tank and Jet at Liquid Silver get explicit robot instructions for their beauty regime including removing "all unsightly body hair". The hologram says at the end that if they followed all directions correctly, "you should appear as so" — but Tank and Jet have their own counterculture idea of beauty, so they look nothing like the hologram. Shortly thereafter, Tank Girl uses scraping off the makeup of the owner with a razor as a threat against those watching. The woman's makeup is drastically overdone. "This might take a really long time," quips Tank Girl. | |

Absolutely Fabulous : An episode has Patsy get a facial peel to stop the tabloids from overestimating (or so she insists) her age. This results in her looking like a burn victim, and Edina's mother faints upon seeing her. The show also mocks these sorts of procedures regularly. A facelift is described by the surgeon performing it as "We'll just grab her by the back of the head, shake her up and down a bit, and cut off the slack". Saffron suggests getting one done by doing a bungee jump with the elastic tied to the back of your head. And at one point Patsy is looking at a picture of a celebrity and says "One more facelift and she'll have a beard." |

One short story mocking the Call of Cthulhu RPG featured a group of incompetent investigators exploring an old house, unwittingly murdering the inhabitants (taking a janitor's drunk gibberish for Black Speech, a Bandage Mummy for a real mummy, etc.) The climax was the meeting of the owner of the house, an old fat woman in Cucumber Facial and hair curlers - which caused them to shoot her in a panic. | |

Phineas and Ferb: Lampshaded in an episode: Candace is a devoted user of Flawless Girl cosmetics, whose CEO unabashedly works the angle of teen girls having low self-esteem to help sell her makeup. Candace figures it out and walks, though. Also lampshaded in "Isabella and the Temple of Sap". Professor Poofenplotz is eager to get more Stiff Beauty hairspray. It turns out not to have sold well to anybody but clowns and was discontinued. In the end, we discover why: it's pretty much polyurethane as hairspray, and the professor ends up a shellacked statue only able to talk through her teeth. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In episode one, "Mare In The Moon", Twilight Sparkle is subjected to some really uncomfortable corsetry in Rarity's boutique. She is barely able to speak at one point from how tight the corset is. In "Over a Barrel", Rarity coming out of the dark in her Cucumber Facial and fussing at the other ponies is enough to make them all scream and put out their candle. When it's revealed Rarity wears false eyelashes in "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", she freaks out and breaks down in tears. |

In Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rebecca's pre-date routine is parodied with the "Sexy Getting Ready Song". Midway through the musical number, the rapper is so shocked by the various tools and blood splatter that he stops mid-verse. | |

In one I Love Lucy episode, Ricky gets tired of Lucy trying to matchmake a man and woman they know and tells the man the side of marriage that Lucy hasn't mentioned. Among other things, he snarks that apparently women have a different face than the one you married, and it must be awful because they cover it up with cold cream and never let you see it. | |

The Rescuers has a scene where Madame Medusa removes her makeup. Beneath her lipstick, she has no lips at all, no eyelashes under her fake ones, and generally looks like a hideous gargoyle. It's terrifying. | |
