Love her or hate her, Tammy Faye Baker Messner was known for two things: crying almost every day as she sang a Christian hymn on the 700 Club and her extremely exaggerated make-up.

Tammy died on Friday of colon cancer that spread to her lungs (according to a spokesperson).

Tammy often spoke about her abundance of make-up (especially mascara) and said that she was forbidden to wear make-up growing up so she flaunted it as an adult (being able to decide for herself).

Tammy also made fun of herself. Asked how long it takes her to apply her trademark makeup, she once told a reporter, “Five minutes. It goes real fast when you use a paintbrush.”
