WOW! Some of them look good without and others, well it looks like they had to use a trowel to slather on the makeup.

Several of them look about 12. I wonder how old they really are.

i know a few of these girls personally, they don't look anything like the before pics..
i am sure some of this is accurate, but they are purposely being made to look worse then they do, for the sake of comparison..

It's interesting to see how most of them get into a character as soon as they have the makeup on. There's a lot of innocence in the bare-faced before pictures.

Also, eyebrows really make a difference!

Pretty much all of the 'before' shots were taken with a hard, harsh light - lots of unflattering dark shadows and overexposed skin. The after shots look like they were taken with much more flattering soft light - no racoon-eyes. The lighting on the before shots makes the girls look worse than they really do.

Great post!

wow...the "After" aren't really too much better than the "Before" in more than a few of those cases..

Ridden hard and put away wet...indeed.

Dear Puma Swede. Hopefully you have some money saved because I'm imploring you to retire right now...and never let anyone ever see either the "before" of "after" images ever again.

OK, I'm done. #56 actually made me throw up in my mouth a little. Makeup is one thing...a blistered herpes pustule on the mouth is another.

Porn or not , try to remember that they were someone's daughter and will more than likely be someone's mother !

Then take out an image or your mom, wife, girlfriend or daughter and ponder ... should I really say anything that could be considered hurtful ?

Karma folks :-)

I'm more inclined to go along the route that they shouldn't be encouraged to do that at the expense of their well being. My goodness...every one of them looks OLD and worn out. The makeup work barely conceals that.

More than a handful look to be suffering from Malaria.

Wonderful examples and good reasons why working with makeup artists is worth the expense and extra time.

Most of them should see before and after pictures of meth addicts. Hopefully they'll stop before the damage gets too bad.

Some of those comments are ridiculous.  People are funny.

That's what I was thinking. Most of them just look like normal women before & after a makeover (albeit a trashy "glam" makeover) karmin karma does have that hideous herp going on with her lip though. Why would she let anyone photograph that!?

That was fascinating.  I don't watch much porn, but when I do, I'm transfixed by the makeup and how it illustrates the girl's character.  It's like there's this whole semiotics of porn makeup that I barely get a glimpse into.

Totally agree. +1 I think they did a great job with the transformations. It's heavy, but called for.

wow given the subject line before clicking on the link I initially thought it was before and after shooting, expected the makeup on the after shots to be all smeared smile

Some great makeup in there.  But pose and lighting are just as influential on the before & after shots.

Just like all those weight loss ads with the straight-on, sloped shoulders sad faces.  Followed by side-on, standing upright happy faces.

I don't think it's a pustule; it looks more like she cut her lip

No reputable porn company would let you work with any sort of STD. They test all members before each shoot. It's a known rule infact I'm pretty sure it's law in some states.

Also I don't know what's worse...the fact I am on this discussion to begin with or the fact I find a good bit of those women to be attractive...

I was wondering if a few of them WERE men. But I wish they would use the same lighting and posing with the before & afters as well.

And as someone else noted... interesting that they get into character with makeup on, and just look like your goofy best friend with make up off.

Am I the only one who is surprised at how many girls agreed to be photographed without makeup & posted online?  I have a feeling there are a few girls that are probably pretty unhappy about this, if and when they come across it... I know I would be!
That being said - I agree with what the poster above said about brows.. what a difference!! And some of them look so innocent and soft in the before shots! lol. Though the (lack of) symmetry in some of them is totally irking me!

At least a couple of these girls have accounts on MM. Interesting to see this, and compare it to their ports here...
