Why do models look average/normal with normal clothes and not a lot of makeup and all the glam?

If you see pics like..

Not that stunning/breath taking (btw i'm not jealous, I adore these two models. ADORE!)
What is it that makes them look so good when they are made up?

Their faces are the perfect blank canvas for makeup. They have the basics: the beautiful features, symmetry, harmony and clear skin.

Women that don't have these basics are going to look worse than women who do.

that is a professional picture lol.
I'm talking about walking around everyday like they are doing, they wouldn't attract that much attention compared to a woman who looks dressed up (beautiful helps too) they would stand out more.

Adriana Lima without makeup IS much more beautiful than an average woman without makeup
Adriana Lima WITH makeup IS even more beautiful than an average woman with makeup
You just can't compare the two.

Actually yea they are still breathtaking. You can't compare models without makeup to normal girls with makeup, you gotta compare them to girls normal without makeup. And models aren't always "just" pretty, they have to have a certain qualities and facial structures.

I don't think they'd take your breath away looking like that, sorry just being honest. But when they're on tv, videos, professional pics they ARE breath taking.

I disagree on that.

those two above do not look average. they look un-made up. they are clearly well above average.

They're just women. Anyone can look like a model with the right makeup

Uh... because they're normal people? Makeup does the trick obviously.

I agree with most of them. But Adriana Lima is far from average. With and without makeup.

Photoshop does wonders. Even with models.
