busted

adjective;
unattractive, ugly. The word is formed by a semantic shift from “busted” meaning broken or beat-up. This is a metaphor because the person’s appearance is, in a way, broken. Perhaps busted was used so that the person in question would not overhear and catch on.
 
No way. That chick is busted. Look at her face.
Etymology : busted. Metaphorical extension of 'busted' (broken or beat-up)
