Beautiful women seem to radiate joy and sprightliness. Their smiles can brighten the rainiest day. But there is a price to be paid for possessing so much charm.

Today, FunnyModo invites you to look behind the glittering facade and explore some of the less-known aspects of being beautiful.

Staying beautiful means facing horrible makeup bills.

Sometimes, you need a will of iron just to haul yourself to the gym.

It’s hard to always look your best.

Ah, if only cakes could actually BURN calories…

It takes a whole arsenal of little tricks to constantly remain stunning.

All too often, people refuse to take you seriously.

You have to sacrifice many things to stay beautiful — including your morning sleep.

When it comes to things beautiful women wear, ’comfortable’ and ’elegant’ rarely go together.

Beautiful women are more lonely than you’d think.

The simple joys in life matter the most!
