In my younger days, I dated an actress. Without makeup, she was fairly average looking. Actresses and models are chosen for their facial bone structure, and how they look with huge amounts of makeup plastered on.
I’ve seen the same thing. One exception to that rule that I noted.
I went to high school with a girl named Stephanie Seymour. Hotter than a match head and just as nuts. She looked awesome though, even without the great clothes, make-up, and lighting.
