“My look is extreme and fake and it’s sort of directed more towards a doll aesthetic,” she said on the show.

“I sort of go for the Barbie doll look”

Twitter users reacted in shock at Tara’s look, with one person saying: “This is JUST SO SAD”.

“I know it's what she says she wants, but it just made me feel so sad,” another person wrote.

“7mins in and I'm both horrified and incredibly sad,” a Twitter user said, while another wrote: “Tara. The mumma in me is so sad for whatever happened.”

During Todd Sampson’s documentary, Tara said she “sees the making of a doll” when she looks in the mirror, saying it’s the look she’s going for on Instagram.

Despite her countless plastic surgeries, she also wants to get a face lift, cat eyes and another breast augmentation when flying is permitted again.

Tara said on the show that she doesn’t care what people say about her, saying: “I just think people take life too seriously and I thought if people are going to call me fake, Barbie doll, this, that, I might as well play it up and have fun with it. It’s a form of expression, it’s empowering. I think I’m beautiful in this way, this is how I express beauty.”

“That’s kind of the goal, you just want to look like an edited photo in real life.”

Todd Sampson’s Mirror Mirror continues Thursday, 9 September At 7.30pm on Channel 10.
