The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired December 4th, with an estimated production cost of over $12 million.
The show has been criticized for promoting unrealistic beauty, especially since a Limited Brands executive famously told the New York Times that fewer than 100 women worldwide were capable of walking its runway.
So here are a few comparisons of some of the most famous Victoria's Secret models with and without makeup.
See Tyra Banks, Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and more without their makeup.
This is Candice Swanepoel's IMG portfolio shot contrasted with a picture of her from a Victoria's Secret event. She appeared in the December 4, 2012 show.

Makeup or no, they look beautiful either way to me. Though I'm not a fan of plumped up lips.

General comments for the white girls and both Tyra and Chanel got the, "they usually..." Some people can't hide their racism even if they try. And as far as the race card goes, I'll stop playing them when you stop giving them to me.

Nevertheless, Hollywood and it emphasis; you are only beautiful if and only if you have fine fancy threads, and wear gobs of make-up, to the story behind the man throwing a vain female in a pool of pigs' mud...lol!
