This Is How Beauty Queens Look on the Catwalk Versus in Real Life

Beauty contests have become an important part of our culture. Today, hundreds of beauty pageants — ranging from local beach bikini contests to international scholarship competitions — are held every year with thousands of girls taking part. The choice of the beauty queen almost always provokes a heated public debate. Some people agree with the final decision of the judges, and others doubt the winner’s beauty.

However, we at Bright Side are sure that every contestant is beautiful. We offer you the chance to compare the photos of pageant queens taken during the contests with photos from their real lives. The girls look gorgeous even without makeup, don’t they?

This photographer has captured the beauty of women from 37 countries

beauty of women from 37 countries

Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc left her job two years ago to start a new life. With nothing but a backpack and a camera, she set off to travel the world, taking hundreds of shots of women in their everyday setting. This is how her unique photo project, ’The Atlas Of Beauty’, took shape. The project so far has encompassed work in 37 countries.

"Mihaela says: ’Today I’m convinced that beauty is everywhere, and it has nothing to do with wearing the right cosmetics or dressing in the right clothes. Beauty is in the ability to be oneself.’ Looking at some of her photos, you can clearly see that she is right.
