Transformation

You could say that Isla Fisher got her taste for beauty products early on. "When I was very small, I wolfed down my mum's lipstick. That was my first experience with makeup," the Burke and Hare star told InStyle. The redheaded beauty was born in Oman and raised in Australia, where, "I got teased really hard in school and was called Twisty, which is an orange chiplike snack." These days the mother of two (with husband Sacha Baron Cohen) has a strictly non-edible take on prettying up. "I really enjoy makeup now," she says. "I love fine art, and I see makeup as an extension of that."

The strawberry-blond Scooby-Doo star reaped the benefits of her lightened locks: "I got a lot more attention as a blonde."
