| No, because each person and/or studio's definition of "good-looking" is different. |
 |
| I thought a model is a anorexic person but truth be told some of them are pretty |

| Candice Swanepoel is fit as hell. That is all. |

| This is actually a huge pet-peeve of mine. "Model" does not necessarily mean that you are traditionally good-looking. Being a model is more about being aware of your body and how to use it to pose or showcase the item you're selling rather than just sitting pretty. I'm a photographer, and in my years, I've seen people who look fairly average absolutely blow me away in front of a camera, and people who are traditionally stunning look meh in front of the camera. Traditional beauty might help, but it's certainly not the be-all, end-all in the modelling industry. |

| Apparently not, because some models are really ugly. |

| Not really. My girlfriend got stopped by a model scout once, and while for me she's the most beautiful person, objectively I wouldn't say she has the obvious beauty. She looks rather boyish, barely uses make-up etc. They later said to her that they chose her because she has an interesting look in her eyes, she's tall, pale and looks natural, which is what they value the most. She turned the offer down by the way. So yeah, most models are not considered pretty or even beautiful, but more like they are somehow interesting and are easy to work on. Most of the models look rather plain without all the make-up and a normal person probably wouldn't even notice them on the streets. |

john_doe_ said: Wrong.The requirements for being a fashion model is to meet the physical perfection. A face prettier than the average face, height, etc. The requirements is to be slim, tall, and have some kind of a "unique" face. Showing some original traits and still maintaining a "facial harmony" is what you need to be a model. |

| Nope! I went to a fitness expo yesterday and they had female bodybuilding models doing a parade... and they were so horrific, I don't think a single dude in the audience raised half-mast. |

| W0w ew not model material model's are usually tall and skinny. It's a lot about the body rather than the face |
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)dont hate me cause you aint me( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
| It's the makeup that makes them look pretty and since they put A LOT of make up it ruins their face. |
 |
| there's no such a model has an ugly face or as i know ... |
 |
| People's opinion on looks vary like a fruit basket. and the perception of "beauty" would also be different. In my perspective, Yes the lady is ugly. but it might be that in her country, that's the standard of "beauty" (WTF) (So, what are you trying to say?) Bottom line, let us respect all beauties. ROFLMAO. |
| Well, they are not Quasimodo's who should never see the light of day but...meh. Most beautiful girls I've seen weren't models. |
 |
| Different types of models have different looks. High fashion models are often very slim and tall. Super models are more curvy a bit. Advertisement models their looks depend on the type of ad. Perfume and cologne ads they often have very serene looking faces and smooth skin. Models for normal clothes often have just more cuter faces and look happy and positive. Alternative models of course have tattoos and piercings. Plus size models obviously weigh more or are taller. Art models have more unique features and exotic looks. Beauty and attractiveness is subjective but really they are just looking for a face for a product and certain looks get stereotyped into certain products so they tend to stick to certain looks so people do not get confused on what the image of a product is. |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but no. Being a model does not mean that you are really above average in beauty. It means that you fit the body and face image that the modeling agency and marketing companies or brands were looking for. Unfortunately, most models themselves don't seem to know this. I've had several model friends, and while most of them were decent people, they really thought people were lucky to gaze upon their beauty. None of them were above average and some not attractive in any way in my opinion. So I think the modeling world may have very strict body standards, but as long as your skin is clear for the most part, pretty much anyone can model if they have the confidence. |
 |
| I'm sure someone's already said this before in this thread but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. edit: Lol would you look at that, someone said it right above me. Models might be attractive in a general sense, but that doesn't mean that they are attractive in everyones eyes. |

Ellamenopea said: Nope! I went to a fitness expo yesterday and they had female bodybuilding models doing a parade... and they were so horrific, I don't think a single dude in the audience raised half-mast. Bodybuilding models are used to show off muscle filled bods not an attractive face. |
 |
| Wow, how did they become models O.o Seriously, you have to be in general, very hot to be a model |
 |
| Most models are usually body > face quick story: Back in the 80's or 90's my mom went to a modeling agency and while she had a gorgeous face they rejected her because she was short. (5'3/4) She wasn't fat either, she was model skinny. She didn't guess that was the reason they rejected her, they told her then and there. No idea why she didn't try out for petite models but w/e. |
| When modelling agencies are scouting for girls, they aren't looking for the most beautiful girls they can find, they're looking for tall, long-legged, slim girls with a symmetrical face and amazing bone structure. So as long as they have killer cheekbones, it doesn't really matter if she's "ugly", she's going to be covered in a load of make up anyway. The fashion industry absolutely loves "unusual" looking girls anyway, just look at Lindsey Wixson. Also, there's usually trends that the fashion industry has to adhere to, so for example the reason Kate Moss became a fashion model (despite being only 5'6"), is because at the time she was scouted, "heroin chic" was trendy and she fit that kind of aesthetic. But this is all just with fashion/editorial/runway models, it's a lot different for other types of models. I've seen plenty of girls that I thought were beautiful but they could never model because they don't have the right facial structure/body type/long legs etc. |

| Most people can be good looking models with a bit of work. So I wouldn't say it means they are good looking, but rather they just clean up well. |
