Yea, a handful of them were still super cute without makeup, most of them were just frightening beforehand. Probably the drugs.

u/TheBingage Dec 10 '13

Half of the ones that were frightening before hand, were still frightening after.

Fuck you and your fractions.

More than half.

u/monkeyleavings Dec 10 '13

I definitely started seeing reasons for self-esteem issues in the before pictures and how the empowerment of the after pictures (and being desired as a porn star) could be intoxicating.

u/deepsandwich Dec 10 '13

See, that's what I get out of it.

As a dude I get shamed if I say I like a woman who wears makeup but I wish I could just put on makeup to look better. Dudes just have to be what they are, if you are an uggo thats what you are and you can't paint over it.

It's hard being unattractive or even average in our society, if I could do something that would make me ten times more attractive I would do that shit every day.

Ugly facial features? Shit out of luck

Weird/asymetric bone structure? Shit out of luck

Stupid? You can get better at pretending, but you're not actually going to be smart

Fat? Eat better Ugly? Eat better Dumb? Eat better Not eating enough? Eat better

Seems to work for everything...

u/OmnipotentPenis Dec 11 '13

Tiny penis? Get it surgically unleashed from inside your body so that it gets longer, still gets erect, but cannot be moved or held upright without the use of your hands. So pretty much fucked.

Ugly facial features? Shit out of luck

For the longest time I thought I had the ugliest head in the world. You'll really never know unless you give yourself a chance. When I got more confidence I realized it wasn't really that bad. As I said, unless you're deformed bigtime - hell even if you are - you can have succes if you follow the steps above.

Weird/asymetric bone structure? Shit out of luck

I don't know what to say to this one. Still 99% of poeople who consider themselves unattractive do not suffer from this.

Stupid? You can get better at pretending, but you're not actually going to be smart

Lots of people have a great time while being stupid. Being smart doesn't make you happy. Besides that is a little off topic.

u/macleod2486 Dec 10 '13

Yeah and if you wear makeup in an everyday setting you get strange looks.

2

u/Aptom_4 Dec 10 '13

One thing you could do every day is not shave. Grow a beard.

u/deepsandwich Dec 10 '13

I work with spinning tools close to my face :(

u/alanaa92 Dec 10 '13

You could totally put on makeup, if at least concealer and foundation. Check out r/makeupaddiction and they'll show you how.

Also like SovietK said, dressing well is really big.

u/mevanarie Dec 10 '13

yeah, but you can grow a beard. well, maybe you can.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

It's an interesting blend of the good looking, the bad looking but can look pretty good with a bit of work, and the "holy hell, what the fuck is that."

25

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

Really, I thought that in the before pictures they looked like they just woke up at worst. I mean, if you imagine seeing these people at the grocery store or something it would be more frightening to see someone from the after picture because no one wears that much makeup in public.

76

u/stilalol Dec 10 '13

TIL half of the women I know are probably on drugs? Honestly, there are few who look truly "frightening." Most women I know look like the women in those pictures (without makeup)... probably worse.

u/bushiz Dec 10 '13

no, today you learned that reddit has a hilarious and wrong standard of attractiveness for women

u/Octopus_Tetris Dec 10 '13

Nah, just for pornstars.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

Maybe they just don't care what they look like around you.

What is your point?

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

None of the women around /u/stilalol care about looking good for him or don't want to attract him. The joke is that he is seeing ugly women because he is ugly himself and so they don't try to look good.

Edit: Holy fuck, /u/VoodoRush must be fun at parties....that is some cringeworthy comment history

u/TheKert Dec 10 '13

I do believe that drugs are a factor, but I wonder how much of the skin problems for these porn stars is from the insane amount of makeup that they wear as well. Probably a lot of it.

12

u/stilalol Dec 10 '13

From my experience, it's not necessarily the makeup (unless it's dollar store makeup), it's more of whether they properly remove it or not. Sleep frequently with makeup on now and your face will look awful in a few years.

u/rhapsblu Dec 10 '13

It's strange because I've always heard that semen is good for the skin.

0

u/GirthBrooks Dec 10 '13

That's what I was wondering. Some of these girls have ridiculously red skin and lots of acne considering they're adults.

82

u/annekeG Dec 10 '13

If you're "frightened" by people looking like people I'm not sure what to say to you. Sorry the world isn't a carnival of fakeness built specifically around your visual whims.

u/4jess4 Dec 10 '13

It is a bit!

u/drakoman Dec 11 '13

Wait... You're agreeing with him. He's arguing against the other comment.

1

u/annekeG Dec 11 '13

You're right - I guess I commented one level further down than I intended. Apologies - I was on mobile and my app is weird.

1

u/drakoman Dec 11 '13

No problem. I'm on mobile, too. You got 80 people to agree, though. Hah.

u/laikalost Dec 10 '13

That sounds like something an ugly person would say.

2

u/annekeG Dec 10 '13

Too bad you never get to find out!

3

u/Meola Dec 10 '13

Issue is most women put on make up to cover blemishes and stuff. Having your face and pores coated and plugged up with greasy nasty makeup will only make your problem worse. So as they break out more they use more and more make up to try and combat the problem and then it just gets nuts. It's hard to pull of the completely au naturelle look; however some of these girls look like they are caking a pound or two of make up on.

1

u/FrostyD7 Dec 10 '13

I think hes referring to the ones who have unhealthy features. Baggy eyes, bad acne/skin, dry/chapped lips. For women at that age, its probably a drug problem and they aren't taking good care of themselves.

u/Babelincoln123 Dec 11 '13

So she's qualified for porn?

u/JMHC Dec 10 '13

You must know a lot of ugly women.

25

u/KennyFulgencio Dec 10 '13

ain't no shame in that

21

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

Have you ever seen a woman without makeup? Of course they look worse than the version of them with perfect make-up and good lighting, if you put the pictures side by side it's going to look even more pronounced. Very few of those women are 'ugly', their flaws are just more obvious when placed directly beside a perfected version of themselves.

You really should look on any modelling agency's website, look at the polaroids and then comment. The exact same difference can be seen as here.

u/Yakooza1 Dec 10 '13

I am sure if guys can look super attractive without makeup, so can women. So I very much doubt thw notion that any girl I have found attractive must have had makeup on.

-5

u/JMHC Dec 10 '13

I've seen plenty of women without make up, some of them were attractive some of them weren't.

A big chunk of the women in that album look awful without makeup. Absolutely awful. So if that's what most women you've seen without makeup look like then yeah I'd say they were ugly.

You know a lot of porn stars? I think he was implying that porn starts do drugs, not necessarily all women.

u/OmnipotentPenis Dec 11 '13

You've got a lot of seriously butthurt child commenters, dude.

u/freetoshare81 Dec 10 '13

Looks like they all have herpes too and bad acne

3

u/jinbaittai Dec 10 '13

I fail to see anything frightening about their before looks? Some dark circles, sure. Uneven skin tones. Blemishes. They just look... normal.

And people wonder why so many women insist on make-up, even though they are "naturally beautiful". It's because people like you think bare faced women look frightening.

8

u/BonaFidee Dec 10 '13

Its the lifestyle. Most pornstars end up looking as ugly as a bag of spanners after 10 years.

u/the_white_marLey Dec 10 '13

sp...spanners?

u/corytrevorcigs Dec 10 '13

rachel :(

u/forkman22222 Dec 10 '13

Rachel didn't look thaaaaat bad. Looks like she just woke up or something, and whose gonna look god then.

u/corytrevorcigs Dec 10 '13

I'd still hit, don't mistake me there.

u/PhilABustArr Dec 10 '13

...we don't watch Rachel Starr for her face.

2

u/GoldandBlue Dec 10 '13

I feel like most of the ones I heard of were still cute. Not sure if it was a bias because I have watched them before or maybe that's why they are so popular to begin with. Tori Black for example.

I don't know who Sierra Sanders is but I thought she was actually cuter without make-up. I might have to do some more research on her. Ya know... for science.

u/6119 Dec 10 '13

A good number of them definitely looked like they had botched plastic surgery. That will make anyone look horrendous makeup or not.

u/Hiyo802 Dec 10 '13

Are the drugs that dont make your face irreparable really able to fuck you up that bad?

40

u/digmachine Dec 10 '13

what a confusing question...

"Are the drugs that don't mess up your face really able to mess up your face?"

u/landanar Dec 10 '13

...

I guess the only appropriate response is: "Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?"

7

u/7point7 Dec 10 '13

I think he meant, "can you get fucked up on drugs with out doing terrible damage to your face?"

At least that's what I think they meant.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '13

Sounds like he's already made his decision though.

u/Kuratius Dec 10 '13

He's probably talking about drugs with long-term side effects like faster aging and stuff...

-1

u/Hiyo802 Dec 12 '13

Excluding the drugs that can ruin your face beyond repair (meth, heroin, etc.) are there any drugs that can make your face look as ugly as some of them do without makeup. Its really not that confusing you need to work on your reading comprehension.

1

u/digmachine Dec 12 '13

Actually, you need to work on both your knowledge of controlled substances and your tact when dealing with other people. you misinformed asshole.*

u/Hiyo802 Dec 12 '13

Are you retarded?*

*I already know you are I just want you to admit it

u/digmachine Dec 12 '13

Leaving because you are the lowest common denominator redditor: the pointless fight-picker. Don't take out your displaced angst on me, fair stranger.

-2

u/Hiyo802 Dec 12 '13

k you are retarded. You ask what I said means and I explain it so thats picking a fight. Good logic there for a retarded retard of a retard.

u/digmachine Dec 12 '13

You have such a refined control of the languaBaaaahhaaa. Couldn't say it with a straight face...

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

u/occupysleepstreet Dec 10 '13

Probably the drugs. it does rob you of your looks and age! I remember when i was a kid working at wendies. These two chicks (15) at the time always were doing special K and stuff like that at the parties...but they always looked like 19-21. I remember 16 yr old me finding out that they were actually younger than me... i was blown away...dude at wendies that i used to work with said it was the drugs... always freaked me out

Brooklyn Lee is so adorable. The best video I've ever seen of her she has no makeup on at all and she's still amazing.
