Transformation

Glitter, body paint, roadkill—all weapons in Ke$ha's beauty arsenal. "I like to play with face paint and body paint in a sort of tribal, very animal, very rock way," she told MTV.com. "I don't think there are any rules when it comes to makeup." She and her stylists concoct headdresses and hair clips from found fur and feathers (that, yes, are often gathered from beside the highway before being cleaned and processed), but her favorite personal embellishment is glitter and lots of it. "I'm attracted to shiny things, like a raccoon!" she told People. "I use a gallon of glitter every show—on my body, the band and dancers." We say, shine on.

Although caught without her signature sparkles, high schooler Kesha Sebert funked up her blond curls with auburn low-lights.
