Don’t believe everything that you see on the internet. We’ve heard that dozens of times, right? However, it’s something that we should always keep in mind to stop us from comparing ourselves to influencers and celebrities who not only look ‘perfect’ but also live a constant life of thrill and adventure.

The ‘Beauty False’ Instagram account is dedicated to showing you the truth about how stars look without layers of makeup and excessive photo-editing. The difference is striking (and a bit comforting because we can make our expectations for ourselves more realistic). Scroll down, have a look, and share your thoughts about how some celebs hide their true selves, dear Pandas.

More info: Instagram | Twitter

With over 994k followers, the ‘Beauty False’ account is a real heavyweight on Instagram. The fact that it’s so popular shows that there are plenty of social media users out there who need reminding that what they see in their feed isn’t actually all real.

We get it, some famous people create personas for themselves and need to stay in character. That’s why they tend to use so much makeup and have their pics airbrushed before publication.

However, they also have a responsibility to their fans who might be impressionable and start disliking themselves for being less than ‘perfect’ and not enough like their role models in fab photoshoots.

People are so mean. We all take bad photos. I agree that there is a toxic industry out there where these 'influencers' are making buck off delusional minors trying to attain the unattainable Jessica rabbit vibe ...but a lot of these women are just insecure little girls who grew up in the exact same toxic environment...remember the 90s mega thin s**t...its alwayyyyyys been about looks and superficial s**t , a deep rooted issue that's hard to unravel. Look at 60s ads and tell me different...look at the corsets of 1800s etc...a deep rooted problem. I used to judge these women but now I just feel sad

Definitely NOT the same person. The nose, for starters. Look at the nose.

Um, that's the whole point of the article. The picture on the left is photoshopped.

This one really is "hard to believe" it could be the same person! That's the problem with Photoshop... the more you use it the more you come to believe you are the defective one! Who is this person?

The fact is, it’s difficult to live your life by modeling it on your fave stars if they’re known for polishing up both their looks and the story of how they shot to fame.

For one, there are few celebrities who are honest and open about who they are and you will rarely get to see who most stars are really like as people. Not everyone is Keanu Reeves or Tom Hanks!

Secondly, while there’s nothing wrong with wanting fame (it’s a very human thing to desire), we should have realistic standards about becoming stars. People won’t become celebs overnight and they need to have down-to-Earth expectations about their own abilities, as well as the time it will take for them to reach their dreams.

People tend to want to hide their flaws because they’re insecure. We forget that celebs, for all of their achievements, are still human and can have trouble accepting how they look, too. While it’s great to see just how huge the difference between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ celebs is, we shouldn’t be too quick to judge. What would we do if we were in their shoes, honestly?

Honestly, she looks fine the way she is, on the right. At least she looks like a person, and not a caricature of one.

Almost all women have either boobs or a butt. Some of us are 'blessed' with both, some of us have neither ... she's the latter one.

Yall know the pic on the right was just a few months ago? Meaning her daughter was born around 2 years AGO at the time of this photo? She was then accused of doing a mock paparazzi shoot of her all dressed up to "run errands" just to make up for the bad press these photos gave her... because these showed us the KJ that she dont want us to see lol.

I like long lashes, but those look like spider legs on her eyes.
