Skin Decision: Before and After
Everyone who chooses to get plastic surgery has different reasons for doing so, and Skin Decision: Before and After is a perfect example of how not everyone's choice to go under the knife is rooted in vanity and narcissism. The show takes a look at the often-emotional connection behind some of the most popular procedures out there.
Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star
Glow Up is a British reality competition series that originally aired on BBC, but older episodes are now available to stream on Netflix. The show follows several beauty lovers as they compete in various challenges to advance their careers in makeup artistry.

Queer Eye
OK, so Queer Eye isn't a show that's all about beauty, but if you were ever a fan of the older version of the show as well as other kinds of makeover series' like What Not to Wear, then you'll definitely love this. With its five eccentric hosts, each episode of the show is fun to watch, and the storylines are still strong enough to bring you to tears when you realize that even the smallest physical tweaks can boost a person's entire mood and outlook on life.

Skin Wars
The premise of Skin Wars is similar to that of Glow Up except that instead of makeup, this show focuses on body painting. It brings together 12 contestants who compete against each other to win a $100,000 prize and a trip to the World Bodypainting Festival. The show previously aired on the Game Show Network (GSN) until it was cancelled in 2016. All three seasons are currently available to stream on Netflix.
The Boulet Brothers' Dragula
Imagine if RuPaul's Drag Race had a horror theme. That's essentially what this series, hosted by drag duo The Boulet Brothers, is going for. In each episode, the brothers challenge a group of drag artists from around the world to compete against each other in competitions broken up into four categories: drag, filth, horror, and glamour.

Glow
While Netflix decided not to renew Glow for a fourth and final season, it's still a must-watch, especially for anyone looking for beauty (or Halloween) inspiration. It's almost impossible not to be entertained by the women's wresting show — not only for its stellar cast, but also the wild wrestling personas, complete with '80s hair and dramatic makeup that might just convince you to try teal lipstick.
