As the lady who advised us to ‘put a ring on it’ and single-handedly incited a booty-shaking revolution, Beyoncé Knowles barely needs any introduction. However, if only now, are you surfacing from beneath a particularly oblivious-looking rock, all you need to know is that she’s a one-woman juggernaut of singing, dancing, acting and hair-flicking capabilities. Having had more ‘looks’ than hot dinners consumed, Beyoncé has accomplished a lot over the years – there was big hair, cornrows, bold lipstick, sleek locks and a boyish crop that brought the Twittersphere to its knees. There’s even a Twitter account attributed to Beyoncé’s weave (yes, really).  

All this and more has left us begging the question ‘what would Beyoncé do?’ in moments of severe cosmetic turmoil. Luckily for us, a quick consultation with a picture of Mrs Carter-Knowles will set us on the straight and narrow towards fulfilling total beauty enlightenment (something Bey reached a long time ago). But she's not just a pretty face - her latest video Pretty Hurts pulls no punches in lambasting society's obsession with physical perfection.
