The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs tonight, 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.
But many of the models have appeared without makeup, showing what they look like before several stylists have worked their magic.
We compiled side-by-side 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.

That is so cute, Ron! Please have your wife read your post... I bet she’ll give you a big smooch!
So does plastic bodies.
Works both directions,too. Here they try to make them look as bad as possible without makeup.
I notice every one of the ‘before’ pictures is badly illuminated and/or out of focus or shot with a goofy expression. It’s all just click bait, I tell ya’! (and I fell for it).
Flexing her power, she inquired;
"so boys (worthless scum), now that you see Anna in person, don't you just love how she looks?"
"Disappointed. She's not how I pictured her," I replied.
Praytell, why not? I love how she is made up. How DID you picture her?"
"I always pictured her naked."
She huffed off, to a roar from the crowd. Department Store Comedy Improv. Don't waste the opportunity.
(I'm only kidding . . . and a little jealous.)
Someone above wanted a picture - but, no picture can capture the true essence of great beauty, but sometimes video/audio can a little bit.
Personality is a great adjunct of beauty - and it's interesting to watch how magnetic she is in a room full of people.
She was a personal friend of Ronald Reagan, who always went to see if she was running the behind-the-scenes at meetings of the parties he attended. They were on a first name basis for years, and Reagan would often stop in the middle of a speech to a group to briefly talk to or about her. While he was in Washington, he often sent little personal messages, cards and invites in the mail.
I hate tatooed females, makes them look like they need a bath all the time.
I am not opposed to a single discreet tatoo, but beyond that I can’t stand them.
Nope, fake boobs are a big turn off.
I find myself thinking gee, I wonder if her implants have been breached by rapidly growing bacteria...
I can’t stand tattoos especially on girls. I have no idea why so many like to get a Panama City license plate.
There is a young girl who works in my Dr’s office who is cute as can be and has a really extraordinary body. Unfortunately she also has several small tattoos. They are actually fairly pretty being both small and in pastel colors but it just ruins her in my book.
She was — pretty? Helen Thomas was once pretty?
I don’t think pretty is the right word but she wasn’t ugly, at least on the outside. Now it goes right through.
Yep, agreed. I can accept one, single discreetly placed small tattoo. Anything more than that and I will look elsewhere. I also do not like any sort of piercings outside of an earring in each ear.
I'll bet you could find more beautiful women on any college campus...I have 4 granddaughters that could beat those before pictures by a mile..with their own before pictures...
You're just trying to frighten me. And you are succeeding.
Back in the ‘90’s I had a girlfriend Who wanted to attend a college reunion. She was REAL good looking but insecure. I heard the “I’m not gonna go, I look all wrinkled, my eyes are dull, my ass is too fat, I don’t have any clothes’ crap for six months before this reunion came up. Finally got fed up with it and paid $500.00 to send her to a spa the day of the reunion. When I went to pick her up,if it wasn’t for the jacket she was wearing I would NOT have known her. Anyway, I gave her a new evening gown and off we went to the reunion. The women there, her friends, became cold, distant and icy to her although she was friends and roommates with them. I went to the bar and heard a gaggle them saying “ Did you see Kaylee? She always did overdo it.” “Yeah she probably doesn’t work or have kids.” All in all we had a miserable time. She wouldn’t take the makeup off for three days though, until I said”Take a bath, dammit.”
You found a gem, Ron! (I think she feels the same way). Hugs, Mom
None of these women are as beautiful as my girl.
