Она накрашена/накрасилась (только) до глаз


Explanation:
Предлагаю этот вариант, хотя, возможно, здесь имеется в виду то, что она наоборот слишком сильно накрашена ("краска сыплется"), но я такого выражения не встречал (to the eyes). В любом случае, нужно ориентироваться на более широкий контекст.

Размалевана как кукла


Explanation:
Lady Morgan... is painted up to the eyes.

Леди Морган... размалевана как кукла.

The metaphor too far from a compliment.
