Neither mesmerizing or frightening, just ridiculous. She looks much better without the exaggerated Margaret Keane-like doe eyes. (if you don't know the work of Margaret Keane, go here -- I won't break copyright by posting a pic of one of her paintings.)

Since this what things have become count me out.

She is much prettier without the make-up.

I would vote both if I could. Leaning a bit towards frightening because looking at the first pic makes me think it's confirmed that aliens are among us!

Edit:
P.S. How, exactly, do you make eyes so darn BIG like that with "makeup?"

Being honest:

well if I were in a store and the sales girl looked up at me with those eyes, I'd be mesmerized.

But
if I woke up in bed, rolled over and saw those eyes...
I'd have a heart attack
