Slang term for woman with too much cosmetic work?
Hi all,
In Spanish there is a term "sobre producida" which means a woman who has done too much work on her looks, either with makeup (as in Tammy Fae Baker) or clothing, hair or cosmetic surgery. But what is the English slang equivalent? I am not aware of one so I use terms like "rich skank" for women like Tammy Fae and scarface/frankenstein/ chopsueyface for the post-surgery freakwomen. For women whose features are destroyed by smoking/sunbathing/boozing, I simply say "skank" but I recently learned "skeeza". Does anybody have better terms they can offer?
Thanks.

If you mean to be really, really risking-a-slapped-face uncomplimentary, you could say she was "made up like a French ***".

Somewhat less impolite is a 'high maintenance woman', although this refers to more than make-up.

And if she's failing, "mutton dressed as mutton". I think I got that one from "The Road to Paradise" by Keith Roberts.
