Teen Model Metamorphoses: Before and After The Catwalk

There's lots of glitz, glam, and fab fashion in the modeling world, but it's a tough gig. Think about it: Shin splints, broken toes, not to mention the constant scrutiny of your body — not every aspect is totally thrilling.

And can you believe that in a job like this, the average age is younger than 20? That's right; the sophisticated runway walkers you see are usually 15-19 years old! Without makeup, they're the typical you's and us's, but with the help of talented artists, these gURLs are transformed (or as the New York Times cleverly calls it, a Model-Morphosis) into womanly catwalkers!

You won't believe these amazing before-and-afters! Click on and check out models before they get made up and how dramatically different they look!
