2011-Present, Multiple Episodes Tammy is a "Mean Girls" type at Tina Belcher's school. She wears heavy makeup and bleaches her hair. She often pushes Tina to misbehave or act out of character.

2011-Present, Season 2, Episode 8 Tammy bullies Tina into wearing makeup, and true to her character, Tina is awkward and unsure about it. Tina is easily influenced and often just wants to fit in and make friends, but usually returns to her true self.

This is one of the only accurate portrayals of mascara in animated media, with the added bonus that it doesn't reflect negatively on the character's morality or serve to make her scary to children.

2011- Present, Season 1, Episode 6 Some of the heavy makeup in the series is seen on a group of drag queens. This perpetuates the idea of makeup as a mask or costume, but also sheds a positive light on how makeup can be used for the self expression of a character. The queens are accepted by other characters and attend Tina's birthday party.

1997-2010, Episode 216 Bobby is drafted into the Powder Puff Boys, a cheer team for the female powder puff football team.

They eventually go crazy trying to keep the marriage working as they allow themselves to get more and more unattractive, and end up going back to their conventional ways.

Francine supposedly goes from the previous image, to this, in two weeks. Her hair is messy and her roots are growing in, her eyebrows grew together into a unibrow, she has a mustache, she's gained weight, and not wearing makeup, apparent in the dulled lip color and lines under her eyes. This helps to illustrate the immense amount of work and money that goes into keeping up appearances.

1999- Present, Season 4, Episode 3 When her husband goes blind, Lois stops wearing makeup. When the dog, Brian, asks if she stopped wearing makeup, she says how nice it's been to not worry about it. Brian then asks, "Are- are you sure you have the skin for that?" This scene is especially problematic because it perpetuates the idea that women wear makeup for people other than themselves, and that men have an expectation for women to look the way men want them to look.

1997- Present, Season 7, Episode 14 Lexus is a waitress at a restaurant meant to parody the Hooters chain... but with pre-teen girls. Yes, really.

Various appearances in shorts from the 1930's to the present Betty Boop is a sexual icon and represents the carefree nature of the roaring 20's. Vintage cartoons usually occur misogynistic and politically incorrect by today's standards. Her big eyes and red lips follow the standards for female protagonists.

1999-2013 This is a nice representation of putting on real lipstick. Lips are usually a light, dull pink, and lipstick can darken and define them. Seeing a character apply makeup in an almost real way is a nice change from how most characters magically have red lips no matter what.

2009- Present, multiple episodes The women of "Archer" all wear some form of makeup, even when they are just waking up, swimming, or in the middle of a gun fight. The facial proportions stay a little more realistic to real life, but the mechanics of cosmetics are still neglected.
