A beautiful character is punished by being turned ugly, which is a Fate Worse than Death. Usually a punishment for vanity, but not necessarily. See also Beauty to Beast, which is the general trope of a beautiful person turning ugly for whatever reason, including plain old-fashioned aging. Related to Beauty Equals Goodness and Karmic Transformation. Original tales of Bewitched Amphibians were often aiming at this. See also Tarnishing Their Own Beauty for when this is self-inflicted. Can overlap with Ugly All Along where the beautiful character is actually ugly, but is using make-up or magic to hide their ugliness, and they are punished by having their true appearance publicly exposed to their former fans. |

The Morlock Masque from X-Men comics does this to victims with his (later her) mutant powers; because Masque can't (initially) use their powers to make their own ugly face handsome, they take it out on others by deforming their appearance. | |

The princess in The Singing Ringing Tree gets cursed with this as a manifestation of her inner nature and becomes beautiful again following her redemption. (Due to very limited production values and changes in beauty standards since The '50s, the cursed princess looks more like Lydia Deetz but with green hair than "ugly" per se.) | |

In Friend Request, Laura, one of the prettiest and most popular girls on her college campus, takes pity on an unpopular girl, Marina (who, in addition to being considered strange and creepy, has Trichotillomania and poor grooming habits) and accepts her friend request. After Laura unfriends Marina because of her stalking and harassment, Marina kills herself, and her spirit haunts and torments Laura in revenge by killing her loved ones and driving away her friends, leaving Laura alone and isolated (as Marina herself once was). The stress of the ordeal has the added side effect of causing Laura to lose her looks, as her face becomes increasingly gaunt, her hair unkempt, and she acquires pale skin and bags under her eyes. At the end of the film, a Time Skip shows that, in addition to having lost all her friends and become a social outcast, Laura now has colorless skin, eyes ringed by dark circles, and her once-blonde hair has become dark, sparse, and stringy: in essence she has become Marina (perhaps literally, as a quick flash of Laura's eyes turning bright green hints that Marina has taken over her body). | |

In "The Masks", a fifth-season episode of The Twilight Zone (1959), a wealthy dying man summons his family to his New Orleans home for Mardi Gras. Since they're all grasping creeps waiting for him to die so that they'll inherit, he makes it a condition of his will that they wear grotesque masks matching their personalities until midnight. He dies at midnight, and they take off their masks to find that their faces have been permanently molded into those shapes. | |

In Homecoming Braelin Janquay is turned into a drider by the priestesses of House Melarn. What makes this worse, is that driders are outcasts of drow society, not only ugly but reviled by the populance. And the process of turning into one is so incredibly painful that all driders start out with memories of their torment and former lives wiped, because they couldn't stand living otherwise. | |

In Runaway: A Road Adventure, Gina is captured and questioned by Gustav and Feodor, who work for some powerful criminals, because they (correctly) suspect she knows where a small fortune is hidden. Although they only want answers, their threats really play up on the fact that Gina is pretty and that if she won't talk that's what going to get some changing. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade, Clan Nosferatu often Embraces vain, beautiful people, cursing them into looking like them. Depending on the individual vampire's tastes, this is done for two reasons: Some do this to teach "The Beautiful Elite" a lesson in humility, while others like to do this just so they can watch models and actors writhe in agony. Unfortunate victims of this kind of "lesson" are dubbed "Cleopatras", allegedly after the character in Freaks. It's likewise believed that the Clan's founder, Absimiliard, was one of the most beautiful (and vain) of all the Antediluvians, conspiring to murder his second-generation sire because she'd scratched his perfect face during his Embrace. When he went through with it, Caine made things much, much worse. The Tzimisce do it on occasion as well, given that they've got Vicissitude. There's an NPC in the Mexico City by Night book who made the mistake of pissing off Sascha Vykos; Vykos sealed up all his orifices, then had one of their underlings Embrace him. The man has to chisel his eyes and mouth out on a nightly basis. |

In When Evil Calls, the gorgeous Victoria becomes disfigured due to her vanity and cruel behavior toward Jane. Victoria humiliates Jane when she pushes her aside without a second look because she does not find her attractive enough to even acknowledge, pointedly praises Samantha's looks, and walks away with Samantha without looking back. In the lab she sneers at the teacher's warning to be careful with the acid and doesn't want to wear goggles to mess up her makeup. She then laughs when Kirsty reads Jane's wish that she was prettier than Victoria and Kirsty calls her ugly. This leads to an upset Jane pushing Kirsty, who then crashes into Daniel, who then falls forward and accidentally releases the acid in his beaker onto Victoria, which is able to completely spread across her face because she was not wearing goggles. The acid quickly ravages Victoria's face and destroys most of her features and all of her beauty. Jane's wish is fulfilled and she is much prettier than the now horrifyingly ugly Victoria. | |

One very harsh example in Rocket Age. Although this might have been a side effect of the viral and nuclear bombardment of Io by the Europans, the Iotes went from being described as the most beautiful species in the solar system to looking like disease ridden, mutated dog men. Knowing the Europan's track record, they probably didn't even do anything to deserve it. | |

Inverted at the end of the Phineas and Ferb episode "The Best Lazy Day Ever". Perry steals the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Ugly-inator, which the latter had used to turn people ugly, and he fuels it with an actor's picture instead, reversing its effects and turning everyone beautiful again. In the end, he fires the weapon at Doofenshmirtz's hot air balloon, turning it into a cute heart-shaped one, much to Doof's chagrin. | |

This is how you permanently defeat S.M.A.S.H.'s Super Agent Mariana Mamba in Evil Genius, as she uses her sexiness to cause your minions to desert you (simply reducing her health bar to zero forces Super Agents to leave only temporarily).

A self-inflicted case with Hanch, the first boss in Drakengard 2. To make a Pact with a supernatural being, you must sacrifice some aspect of yourself; Caim, the main character of the first game, sacrificed his voice, for example. Hanch sacrificed her "charm", and went from being so beautiful that she was known as "Sunsmile" to being a pale, emaciated wreck with shadowed eyes. | |

The book Beastly is a modern version of "Beauty and the Beast". Protagonist Kyle is a rich jerk who embarrasses Kendra, an unpopular girl who turns out to be a witch. He gets cursed by turning into a hideous beast, until he receives True Love's Kiss. In the book, at least. In the movie, he just gets cursed into looking like a member of the Jim Rose Circus. | |

Beauty and the Beast is the most obvious, with the Beast having been transformed into a grotesque monster in punishment for failing the Old Beggar Test. | |

Spaceballs: After kidnapping Princess Vespa, the villains give an ultimatum to her father, threatening to undo her nose job if he doesn't reveal the air dome's combination. Although Vespa herself pleads with him not to, he eventually caves, averting this trope. | |

In Dying Earth, the witch Javanne cursed her lover by making him hideously ugly; at the end of that story, she's forced to bring him before a god of justice, who decides a little Laser-Guided Karma is in order. | |

In the Blood & Wine expansion of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a noblewoman failed an Old Beggar Test by refusing Sacred Hospitality and was cursed to transform into a hideous wight. In Geralt's words, "She was beautiful, so he said she'd never wish to look at herself in the mirror again. Since she adored feasts, he swore no one would ever wish to sit and dine with her. And as she even refused him the crumbs from her table, he swore she'd never find a spoon in the world that would sate her hunger." In order to lift the curse, Geralt needed to sit down and share a meal with her of his own free will while eating without spoons, and make her look at her reflection. | |

Charmed (1998): Before the series, Gammil, the Collector, was a handsome man who used his beauty to ensnare women and shrink them down before covering them in clay and baking them alive to create signature dolls. A witch found out about his misdeeds and to stop him, made him as hideous on the outside as he was on the inside. | |

An episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch has a variation: During a particularly vain phase, Sabrina meets a kindhearted and charitable (according to Hilda and Zelda) yet ugly relative (her skin is spotted green) whom Sabrina treats with apprehension. Said relative decides to teach her a lesson...by gradually turning Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey into a werewolf-esque creature (so much for kindhearted). She changes Harvey back only when Sabrina accepts him despite his looks. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, as in the tabletop game, the Nosferatu sometimes inflict their Looks Like Orlok variety of undeath on vain beauties to take them down a notch. One Nosferatu, Imalia, is a former top supermodel... who will pay handsomely to have her Unknown Rival successor's life ruined, suggesting that the lesson in humility didn't stick. Justified, in that she's a fledgling, a newly turned vampire. | |

Inverted for one story arc of Deadpool: The normally hideous merc is cursed... into looking like Thom Cruz. Otherwise played exactly straight, as it was an effective punishment — he explains that he has no problem with looking pretty, and he even wants to look pretty, but he wants to look pretty himself. He doesn't want someone else's face. | |
