Right from the start of his career Michael Jackson developed a star image with his silver glove.this glove wasn't worn in his music videos. This as only worn we he did live performances. this is where he built his star image and where people could remember him from his glove.

You can see that his skin tone was a light brownish and then went to a very white look. over his period of making music he constantly had problems with his face and body type excessive use of drugs led his face to change dramatically. this was realised in his music video "they don't care about us". From the early stages of Michael Jacksons career to the most recent he had many problems with his face as he had plastic surgery done. the picture on the right is from "billie Jean". his style however still stayed the same in terms of hair.

He also wrote about his facial appearance, saying he had had two rhino plastic surgeries and a dimple created in his chin. He attributed much of the change in the structure of his face to puberty. Over the period of Michael Jackson’s career he soon had plastic surgery to his face. There was a huge problem with his nose and chin.
