“Catfishes” Are Revealing What They Really Look Like Without Makeup (32 Pics)
It’s no secret that deception online is a big thing. From the comfort of their homes, people can trick us into believing virtually everything—from perfect looks to enviable lives. I mean, who’s there to check up on what’s true or false?
Unless, of course, they give in themselves. And this is what the new TikTok challenge is all about. #CatfishChallenge has TikTokers revealing their real faces behind picture-perfect selfies. Essentially, it totally debunks the belief that everyone looks like supermodels in their daily lives.
Initiated by 22-year-old Australian TikToker @moldogaa, the Catfish Challenge has already amassed 409.3 million views and counting. Others joined in to share their unrecognizable faces and it’s both amusing and kinda illuminating.

This one is kinda misleading... I mean... the without makeup is at a different angle/zoom/facial expression.

Why would you want to look like somebody else? Why is being yourself not good enough?

Hm... this one doesn't have too much difference, from what I can see... just the pose and a few edits to the complexion and eyes.

BE NICE: own your face. I would rather see you as a person than who you wish you were

yeah, I'm pretty sure all of these are to make it like: flattering pic vs. unflattering pic

This one doesn't count, she just took a picture in a less flattering angle...Anyone can look "bad/ugly" like that...

So they altered their pics to try to attain society's insane beauty standards and also uphold them, and now they are posting their "real" faces with grimaces, weird angles, etc. Social media is so weird sometimes

“They took normal pics / pics with makeup, then they took pics of themselves making the ugliest faces. The sub is called Pretty Girls Ugly Faces.” As a woman who goes no-makeup all the time, I’m glad I have an appointment with my neuro-ophthalmologist on Monday, because I think I rolled my eyes into my brain. Edit: And in case any makeup wearers feel like playing the victim, I don’t give a flying fart what women, men, nonbinary people or anyone else puts on their face. I’m specifically talking about the theatrical “ohhhh bare faces are sooooo ugly” behaviour.

I don't understand how these are "catfishes". It looks to me like the first picture is makeup and filters and the second picture is completely natural. Catfishing is when you start a romance with someone and you aren't who you say you are.
