Conventional Beauty vs Unconvential Beauty

[MyNameIs]

I think "unconventional beauty" is overrated.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

like someone said, one mans conventional is another man's unconventional. An example is Karolina who may be a conventional beauty to some but a horsey faced model to others

Thats true, but by conventional I mean more of a symmetrical face, small nose, big lips... etc.

Anyone who fits into the alien category, ie Gemma Ward, would be unconventional.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

well in that case its abit difficult to choose but I guess conventional is more of my taste, they are easier on the eye. eg. Liya, Karolina, Fernanda, Adriana...

Mostly all the high-fashion models are unconventional.

I prefer conventional, classic beauty but sometimes it's the unconventional that pops out from a crowd.

 

[dizzytacks]

how about people post pics of there favourite coventional beauty and unconventional beauty, since beauty is subjective, it's useless just discussing it!

i think natalia is the perfect model to me because she's quite different looking (who some people find unattractive) but also very beautiful

 

[aggie]

OK, I'll post some pics. These are the main models that come to mind when I think "conventional" and "unconventional." Feel feel to disagree.

Conventional:

Doutzen

Snejana

Unconventional (these are pretty obvious ones) :

Gemma

Sasha P.

I like in between. A hint of both (could be a child like beauty and a sex bomb)... such as Natalia Vodianova

 

[sasseestefanie]

Modern

Classic


The choice is just too hard

Natalia .. is not a sexbomb not !!!! I think Jessica Stam

I second that! Stam is a good example too, but she's more like a rock 'n roll beauty...

It really depends on my mood. I love to look at an interesting photograph, and most of the time, a modern face lends to that. But I love someone with looks like Gwyneth and Grace Kelly. There is something appealing about perfectly strong and symmetrical bone structure.

Case in point, right now I love Daria and Tiiu. Daria is definately more unusual looking and Tiiu has a classically beautiful face.

Um...Tiiu couldn't be less classically beautiful.

neither jessica miller, with her nose.

maybe tasha tilberg can be an example of classic beauty, very regular.

 

[eternitygoddess]

CLASSIC ALL THE WAY.

Classic: Grace Kelly, Nicole Kidman.

Modern: Natalia V., Gemma Ward.

Morgane Dubled encapsules of both in my opinion, she can look so dollface yet so edgy and sexy the next minute The ability to be versatile is what the current beauty is about.

 

[J'ador-DioR]

I definately appreciate both. There aren' t many classically beautiful models though.I can only think of Hilary Rhoda, Solange Wilvert and Liya Kebede .

 

[eword]

hilary classical? with that chin?

 

[marqueemoon]

classic: valentina zeliaeva, paulina porizkova, snejana onopka (though her face is also unusual), solange wilvert (but only in ads/editorials with heavy makeup)
