I don’t think stage make-up is ever meant to be seen in portrait lighting. That being said I prefer my women to look human.

I’ll agree that they look more attractive without. But fashion show makeup often isn’t supposed to make models look ‘better’ in the traditional sense.
Models are basically props on which the designer can drape his or her clothes, so they’re not there to look attractive in the same way a man or woman on a date is trying to look attractive. They’re merely there to make the clothes look good. Sometimes that makes them appealing as well, but often times not.

Most of them looked like trannies when they had their make up on. And when they didn’t have any make up on, they just looked weird. A couple of the blondes had natural beauty, but most of the girls had goofy faces.

Almost all women look better au naturel, rather than with caked on bat guano. Makeup and beauty products in general are all about women trying to impress other women. As a guy, I could care less about your makeup.

A couple of them look better with the make up, but I agree that most of them are better off without it. As a whole, none of them, except, IMO, the black model, were especially attractive to begin with.
Johnny Cat, you remind me of my husband. He has said the same thing almost word for word before. That said, I have to disagree only slightly. Make up is meant to enhance a person’s looks, and I for one, wear it not to impress other women or even my husband, but to erase a few years and not look like I just rolled out of bed. Caked on and overdone make up is always horrible, but if applied correctly, it really is a good thing.

Isn’t the cardinal rule of wearing make up is to make it appear that you’re not wearing any?
That said, I think Mike Jones is right: models aren’t there simply to look good, they’re there to make the designer’s clothes look good!

most did look better without makeup yet there were a couple that did look better with make up.

the brown girl was so-so, but the other girls were creepy, and i have no idea why anyone would pay them a lot of money, i wouldn’t look twice at them, in or out of makeup.

I thought they were all pretty, and all much prettier without makeup.

Makeup is best when it isn’t obvious. I think makeup became a turnoff for me in highschool when the girls started putting it on, usually looking more like circus clowns than the pretty girls they were to begin with. Don’t get me started about lipstick, in a word: gross.
Maybe it’s just me, but I also find most heeled women’s shoes repulsive too, flats, sneakers, slippers, loafers even, but, please no heels.
