Agreed.

Sure it was. She isn’t going to have eyeshadow and brow filler from magic or something. If she wants that look, the editing is definitely necessary.

They're the same picture mate.

I agree with you bookshelf. I think it's because of the eyes.

No you can’t. It’s the exact same photo and therefore the exact same expression. The fact that she looks less intimidating to you on the right is why you attribute more positive traits to her. That’s entirely about you.

Exactly! The filters are modifying their appearance, down to the hair style...

Can you share? I’m not sure I get it either.

Sad since it’s stated directly in the title…

It's a filter and Photoshop, it's absolutely the same picture. Filters can add hair volume and texture pretty easily.

You know what I see with many of these is that they think they need the full face of makeup because they don't fix themselves up.... Like this girl looks "bad" because she has oily face that can be fixed with a face wash and the color on her face is drained from all the time wearing makeup

It also looks like she has her bike/compression shorts pulled all the way up in the first photograph and it looks like she has pulled them down to expose her stomach in the photo on the right.

Still proves the point that photos on "social media" do not reflect reality.

Looks like she has purposely pushed her stomach out.

its edited too.

It doesn't say edited, it says that they are exposing themselves for what they really look like, without carefully angled cameras.

Photography is art. Who cares. Theyre just having fun i guess

Photo-centric social media is like a quick fashion art gallery. Some people like to look at pretty things, as long as they are reminded it's fabricated they shouldn't be trying to impose "standards" like that on anybody. The issue would be the people who are blissfully forgetful and thus start losing touch with reality, wishing for it to be "better". Which to me is close to an obsession. Once you realize those people have a legit problem, you start taking them less seriously. Just follow the stuff you enjoy, beats being frustrated over superficiality.

thats kinda how I felt lookin thru these too.. Like I get it, but at the same time you're still pushing that that is what "beauty" actually is

Because these people haven´t got many qualities but the vanity, or they are doubting themselves so much it becomes obsession, or just simple like-hunting. Ego. The urge to be seen and liked.

Almost as if dark hair and tanned skin are common traits.

Weird. I was just thinking exactly that. Although I did read the other day - possibly here - that the Kardashians usually wear outfits that are all one colour so the pictures are easier to shoop. Don't know if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me. Women online really are starting to all look alike. As if there are a few acceptable archetypes and only they are beautiful.

Yup. That's what the newer filters do, contour, recolor, all that stuff.

Like most of them

thats what i always wondered.

Yes, and you can save on makeup remover that way, too.

First pic too.

*you're

Same for the one on the left. Just with makeup.

She can be both pretty and a high achiever. Intelligence isn't affected by looks

And the one on the left seems like a stuck up popular kid...
