Basic Trope: A masculine guy (or tomboy) is humiliated through a girly makeover.

  • Straight: Jack, the average teenage boy, is forced by The Bettys to wear a girly nightgown, complete with curlers and a facial.
  • Exaggerated: Eric the jock is dressed like a prom queen.
  • Downplayed: The Bettys decide to force Jack to try on makeup.
  • Justified:
    • The Bettys were looking for someone to try their skills at giving someone a makeover and they decide that Jack would make a perfect victim.
    • The Bettys were sick of Jack's obnoxiously masculine attitude and decide to force him to get in touch with his feminine side.
  • Inverted: A feminine guy is forcibly given a masculine makeover.
  • Gender-Inverted: Sam, the tomboy, is forcibly dressed like a girly girl by The Bettys.
    • Alice, the girly girl, is forcibly given a 'boyish' makeover by her male friends.
  • Subverted: Jack actually loves his makeover.
  • Double Subverted: ...but he merely pretends to love it so they'll stop. He really hates it.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: The girls decide to boot Jack out of the slumber party instead.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "Why is it that any guy who shows up at a girl's sleepover is given a makeover?"
  • Invoked: Jack needs a makeover for whatever reason, so he crashes his sister's sleepover in order to get them to give him one in hopes of tormenting him.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Jack escapes before the girls could give him a makeover.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: A bunch of girls descended on Jack with bags of makeup in their hands. Jack screams as the scene cuts to black.
