Isn’t it amazing how beauty and fashion brands still use models to sell their products even though the ad campaign pictures usually look nothing like the actual person?
The models are either wearing layers of makeup or the pictures are heavily edited.

So let’s look at some of those campaign pictures and compare them to the real way those models look in their daily lives.
1. Doutzen Kroes
This fresh-faced beauty looks stunning no matter what. Whether she’s wearing makeup or not she’s gorgeous, but this L’Oreal ad looks almost nothing like her. What do you think?
2. Cara Delevingne
This lady can surely be a chameleon when it comes to changing herself up for a beauty campaign. In real life, she’s like a girl next door.
3. Andreja Pejić
This transgender model is surely a role model for many young people. When not showcasing how makeup can transform you she likes to keep things real.
4. Sasha Luss
Here’s a perfect example of what brands do to promote their beauty products. I can hardly believe this is the same person. Doesn’t she look much older?
5. Jourdan Dunn
When not posing for Burberry, this fun-loving beauty likes to lsmile, relax and have fun in mother nature. That’s life!
6. Ruby Rose
Models are just people like the rest of us. They don’t spend all day getting ready just to hang out by the lake. And good for them.
7. Abbey Lee Kershaw
Sometimes it’s just better to stay in bed all day than get all made up to look tough on a fashion shoot. Oh, the life!
8. Lara Stone
What a difference makeup, lighting and the right set-up can make. If only we could have our own glam-squad to make us look that good.
9. Arlenis Sosa
Getting all glammed up isn’t always what it’s all cracked up to be. I’d rather be chilling by the beach like this beauty any day.
10. Barbara Palvin
Some beauty campaigns make the models look so much older than they actually are in real life. Does anyone else think they look older in photos? I guess we have more in common than we thought.
11. Fan Bingbing
Sometimes we envy beautiful models when we forget that makeup and lighting can create an unattainable standard. These pictures prove that even models take a day off from makeup sometimes.
12. Anaïs Pouliot
Models get chosen for all kinds of different reasons. Sometimes it’s their natural beauty that’s the key to be able to transform them into anything.
13. Bella Hadid
To me, Bella looks beautiful whether she’s rocking insanely long lashes or just chilling in bed with no makeup. She’s flawless either way!
14. Diane Kruger
When Diane isn’t busy making movies she definitely poses for a lot of fashion and beauty campaigns. Here’s all glammed up versus every day. Quite a change.
I hope this makes you feel more confident in your own skin.
Because even those supposedly flawless models are regular people just like us. Don’t be fooled by beauty tricks!
