50 Instagrammers Whose Photos Are So Far From Reality, They Got Shamed For It Online (New Pics)
Welcome to the world of filters where looks are everything, and everything else is nothing. While there are many exceptions, social media is still notorious for breeding and celebrating vanity, from boosting your ego to making others (and yourself included) feel miserable.
But sometimes it’s too much even for Instagram. You see, some people airbrush and edit their pictures beyond the acceptable norm and the result is, well, reality-bending. The subreddit “Instagram Reality” is calling out those instances by sharing pictures of influencers taking editing a step, or rather a mile, too far.
Below we selected some of the most recent posts from the community, so pull your seat closer. And after you’re done, be sure to check out our previous features on Instagram vs reality here, here and here.

I Love This
How is this exposing "the fakest people online"? She's being brutally honest.
Because so many others post "no makeup" pics but are still clearly wearing a ton of it
Load More Replies...Cystic acne is a horrible condition.It's not caused by anything, it just happens, like any other condition.It took over two years of treatments for my child to be cured.The psychological effect was just tough.Thank goodness for treatments available.
She has lovely features and cheekbones. A dermatologist could help her skin with the latest treatments.
That looks so painful. I've always been so grateful my skin has been mostly clear my whole life, it's far from perfect and I have weird pale freckles that tend to make my skin look blemished when it isn't. I'm 40 and still get occasional spots and boy does my skin like to save them up and explode in one giant painful mountain of yuck. I do find my skin starts to act up if I eat dairy so I tend to avoid it, my kids are the same - dairy hates our skin
I'm 50 and still get minor breakouts(at least one spot on/right beside my nose and/or chin almost every day. Very rarely on my forehead, next to an ear or a cheek. Yay, hormones.

The edited one looks more like an animated movie character, which is interesting
The left one honestly looks a bit forgettable to me because it just looks so... common. You see like pics of people like that online all. the. time. I automatically filter it into my "fake artistic picture" category and kind of dismiss it. The one on the right looks more real, and so much more eye-catching, I think "wow, what gorgeous hair and style, she's so striking."
yep, my thoughts exactly. The edited photos of all these women are so boring and common that they don't look good.
Load More Replies...She is absolutely stunning in the original photograph. The photograph on the left makes her look like some CGied movie character.
The edited one looks like a cartoon, so it looks good if you advertise it that way, but the unedited is of a gorgeous woman with beautiful hair who should not be ashamed of how she looks
I have to say this, I might get downvoted but I don't mind, her original photo is good enough as it is.
Not Even Judas Was As Treacherous As That Mirror….
Mirrors.. the lifelong enemy of an instagram model.
Load More Replies...Her curves were so fake, the closet couldn't take it and curved itself.
I was looking for someone else to notice it! Perfection!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Load More Replies...I guess I'm out of the loop on this but when did having much bigger thighs than you really have become desirable? For the last 50 or 60 years, thighs that actually touched each other were considered "fat". That was even more unrealistic, but can't we finally come to an agreement that whatever your body is, it's fine?
In order to understand social media, and the influencers that go above and beyond to stand out, build their audience and establish their brand, we have to look at the other culture that paved the way to influencers as we know them today. And it’s celebrity culture. Both share the insatiable hunger for an idealized image, but also the need to deliver substance and make it interesting for the viewers.
So Bored Panda reached out to Claire Sisco King, the Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies at Vanderbilt University who happily shared some very interesting insights into the over-the-top world of celebrities and influencers.
I Forgot What She Really Looked Like
Exactly. And even if she didn't want to look As Old.....queen mother has literally all the money in the world. Pick a doctor and get your lines filled. It's not like she is against plastic surgery and she could have the best doctors in the world doing her work. Then she wouldn't have to worry about photo leaks. Just sayin....if you don't want to show your age and you're Madonna.....don't use photoshop...use juvederm....use botox
Load More Replies...is the picture on the right the singer from Twisted Sister? cause he looks like he's not gonna take it anymore.
Her constant attempts to relive her glory days are just sad and pathetic.
All of Hollywood wants to be perpetual and look like they're in their 20's. Career pends on the line of youth and beauty, and this may be the root of depression, substance abuse, and suicide when expectations are no longer met. The limelight is soul crushing, especially when they start so young, if they don't have a sensible PR with good advise and psychological support, it can be a recipe.
Load More Replies...She's as old as my mother and I'm forty. I can't see why you would be comparing yourself with twenty year-olds in your sixties. I don't even do that. Is she that insecure??
There is nothing wrong with ageing, yet so many people, especially women, think there is. I don’t understand it.
Load More Replies...Aging as a woman is awful , I think especially if your worth was always tied to your looks . Be nice people .
It's so sad that the extreme beauty standard in Hollywood compel some women to Photoshop themselves into oblivion. It's alright to age Madonna.

Yep, she removed her organs and while she was at it, she decided to remove her brain too.
Load More Replies...Imagine going on a date to confront her and seeing the image was not, in fact, potoshopped.
I really hope this is satirical. I hate to think there are people so bereft of common sense.
She’s The Best. These Are All Photos She Posted Herself Either On Her Story Or Ig Feed! She’s Beautiful, Confident And Silly
I fricken love Doja cat so much. She’s so gorgeous and witty and talented
She hits up teenagers to hook her up with someone and then bullies said teenagers. She is not a good person.
Load More Replies...She's actually pretty intelligent. I've seen her in interviews try to dumb down her answers..it's kind of sad really.
shes beautiful with and without makeup. and her music is such a vibe
“Celebrity culture has been a significant part of popular media in the United States since the early 20th century. Its origins can be traced in large part to the Hollywood star system,” King told us. “By the 1920s, film studios had developed a system for crafting star images—from the stars’ names to how they dressed to the types of film roles they played. Studios relied on their own promotional departments as well as fan magazines to create these images and make them familiar to audiences, promoting fan attachment to the stars,” she explained.
Don’t Be Afraid To Age Folks
This makes me so sad... I've been a huge, huge fan of her since I was 7 (I'm 46 now). She achieved everything in the music industry, opened the path for the following female artist, and created some of the best songs and videos of the last 30 years. She doesn't need to demonstrate anything more. I thought she was much smarter than this. And makes me sad that the new generations will only know her for this, this joke of the woman she has been, and not for her tremendous legacy. I've stopped following her cause I cannot see this, I want to keep the good Madonna, the one that made me happy along this years
Very well said, she is a caricature of what she was. Ageing sure as hell beats the alternative.
Load More Replies...This is the beauty industry's fault. People wouldn't be afraid to age if it weren't for the monetization of self-esteem. Almost every facet of society erases women who've aged past 45. People who do this aren't the disease, they're a symptom.
It's such a shame coz she was actually stunning, and would have still been stunning now. It's her choice, obviously, but lines and wrinkles are so much prettier on a 63 yr old woman than all that stretched skin. I will always adore Madonna, but this is almost anathema. Makes me sad that she felt she had to do this.
Yeah I really thought she would be an aging rock star giving her middle finger to the pressure to do so much stuff to her face while still being fit and dressing how she likes. I try not to judge people for doing whatever they feel like with their appearance, but I guess I'm just surprised that she's doing what she's doing.
Load More Replies...Vanity is the failing of many 'stars'. Those that don't chase vanity just fade from the public eye gracefully. Madonna is showing she does not know how to do that.
Her Drs should be sued for malpractice- instead, they continued to take her money and cut her up. Any decent plastic surgeon knows how when you stop. But whoever did this to her must have really wanted a bigger boat. I feel sorry for her, honestly. She needs to learn how to relax and enjoy her position...the woman is an ICON (and TBH I'm not a big fan of her music but even still... I totally give her my respect) I wish she would do what I (55) do and embrace her wonderful eccentric witchy poo.... really, it's a lot of fun
The Power Of Filters - It Doesn’t Always Have To Be That Noticeable
#2 and #3 could easily be done with makeup. #1, on the other hand...
Load More Replies...Well I get the makeup filters. Sometimes you just don't want to put all that stuff on.
Hell yes. Why do I want to give up 30-45 minutes of my day and use expensive products when a simple click can give me a similar result.
Load More Replies...In my opinion, it's not a problem at all to have fun with filters or try to make your pictures have different lighting and coloring. It's all fun. A lot of people think just using a filter makes a person insecure. That's not true. The problem arises when pop culture and the internet upholds narrow and unrealistic standards of beauty. When only a certain kind of beauty is celebrated and others are deemed ugly, young people, particularly teenagers want to feel included by trying to fit into that unrealistic mould. When they only see a certain type of physical appearance worthy of fitting society's perception of beauty, they desperately try to follow it. When they're bullied for their skinny or overweight bodies by their classmates, they also want to feel acknowledged. You can't force a very narrow standard of beauty on impressionable minds for decades and not expect them to have self esteem issues.
IMO She's actually very pretty and with a little makeup would be absolutely instagram-worthy with no image fakery required
At least they all have the same facial features — so many of them look like entirely different people!
Flexxing On Some Totally Real Muscles
they dont even look like they made of skin and flesh they look plastic
What the f*****g actual f*****g fuckety f**k!! Jesus christ, surely she wasn't actually trying to pass this off as a real pic? Must be a joke!? Please somebody tell me its a joke!?....please. 🙀😱🤣🤣🤣
2 Questions. Each equally important: Who in HP's name thinks an abdomen like that is attractive? And... What in HP's name made the OP think this was an effort worth posting/publishing?
I don't even like those abs on a man and I used to be a s**t.
Load More Replies...It turns out that for decades, “most of this publicity remained largely positive because it was heavily controlled by the film studios, offering highly calculated views of celebrities’ personalities and private lives.”
But all changed with the advent of tabloids by the mid-twentieth century, including radio shows and magazines, King said. That’s when the attention to gossip and the more salacious aspects of celebrities’ personal lives increased. “Often this coverage was out of celebrity control; but, at the same time, celebrity has become dependent on the gossip industry because it drives audience interest and fascination,” the professor said.

Shame On The News Outlet Who Photoshopped The Left Picture
come on, the marks from the goggles are the best part though. you know they worked hard
They shopped out his arm hair and muscle definition... made his jaw, shoulders and neck a little daintier... geez - why not just give him breasts??
Trans people need to be in their own group. Leave biological women to compete against themselves. This swimmer wasn’t a strong swimmer in men’s sports, and now this swimmer in breaking national records in women’s sports. Taking away opportunity from bio women that have trained their entire life, just to be taken away from a biological male. Title 9 is important!
reminds me when years ago the news photoshopped a tooth into the mouth of hockey legend Steve Yzerman. They had to apologize and reissue the photo.
But why? This person is a swimmer in a pool. This edit is just goddamn stupid.
Found This One While Browsing A Dating App
I'm surprised none of the comments say this so I will - in my experience, chubby guys with a maintained hair and beard, and glasses are the funniest, warmest and usually just in general the greatest guys ever. I am pretty sure he made that pic to make whomever is viewing his profile laugh.
um u do realize that if you get in a relationship ur probably gonna meet in person at one point...what are u gonna do then?
What the heck, he would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for his real hair sticking out of his fake head
Thanks to reality television and the internet, in the beginning of the early 2000s, expectations about access to celebrities dramatically increased. King explained: “Reality television fostered the idea that anyone could become famous by ‘playing themselves,’ and there was the corollary expectation that celebrities should engage with the genre to give audiences an idea of who they ‘really are.’”
His Jawline Is Definitely 100% Real, No Editing
Yeah, a lot of pictures actually look better unedited than edited.
Load More Replies...The second picture is an old one. He is quite famous in the UK - TOWIE star. He has a serious eating disorder, top pic is recent and real.
This isn't fake,he's got an eating disorder it's all over the news in England.
I’m pretty sure these photos are months apart as he became dangerously anorexic
Imagine Your Surprise When You See Her For The First Time Without All That Makeup, Filters And Editing
I'm surprised no one else said that. It's the hair on the right side of her face (our left) that gives it away for me. I'd like to see what she looks like naturally. Probably not too far off from reality though. I'd also venture to guess the overedited one was done for shiggles.
Load More Replies...I love her button nose And plump lips And round cute face on the second one
She Claims To Not Edit Her Photos
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in this case, she is the beholder.
Load More Replies...Meanwhile, “the development of digital media and the internet meant that there were endless opportunities for audiences to seek information about celebrities, which meant that media companies also felt obligations to generate more and more content about them.” King argues that the era saw the proliferation of websites and blogs devoted to celebrity fandom and/or gossip.
At First The Terrifying Bird Feet Got Me But The Longer You Stare...the Worse It Gets
Dude needs to close his robe. Better yet just throw a blanket over both of them.
So the weird sky proves that we ARE in the Matrix, the feet prove we did evolve from dolphins, they can easily jump over a building in a single bound, and as long as the woman's face is edited to be pretty you don't have to edit the guys face or hairline. Oh yeah, you also don't need any ice in the ice bucket for the champagne, as long as it is in a pretty bowl it will stay cold.
This could just be aspect skewing. Some phones do this automatically. I had one that did this to the edges of all pics and I couldn't fix it. The foot farthest from the edge looks the most normal.

Sounds like something the group from Mean Girls would do. So fetch.
Load More Replies...These amateurs always forget about the background which gives the whole game away!
The string curtains in the background also got photoshopped with the spaghetti strap dress
How Is This Even Legal?
Applies to all of them, but… is this what they want us to see or what they want to see?
Honestly, she looks the same in these pics. Makeup, lighting, knowing your angles. I'm not saying the left pic isn't edited, but it's also not an insane leap.
Exactly. I look like s**t when I'm tired or sick or just cause I just woke up. She really doesn't look all that different.
Load More Replies...The one on the left looks like she's posing for a photo shoot and the one on the right looks like she's going out for latenight pizza. She aint gotta be on 100 all the time. Let her live her life, cuz she aint living it for you.
Is this the one that was doing IVF? Hormones can make the face puffy. Plus right is straight on so you see the jawline too. Left isn't bad, mainly different circumstances
Load More Replies...I can't get my head around all this extreme editing on their photos when they know it's so obvious and they'll be constantly photographed and filmed without the filters
just google KK photos from her beach vacation - nothing real about any of them
I think the Kartrashians are more plastic than Barbie at this rate.
The development of social media really amplified all of these expectations about access to and intimacy with celebrities. “Platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat give audiences the sense that they can see into celebrities’ private lives and get 'behind the scenes' access to them. Even though the glimpses audiences see are highly curated and carefully crafted, they suggest that fans can get an 'authentic' idea of who celebrities are,” King explained.
Same Day. Insta vs. Pap Picture
This woman even photoshops her own BABY, I am not joking, this woman is just a joke in the UK.
the first one is so scary lol. as a Dominican-American my top lip is significantly bigger than my bottom lip, but i don't understand why anyone would want it like that. just looks like you sticked your lips in a behive.
Her poor lips in the photograph on the left looks like she got stung by a bee. Do people actually find them attractive?
I really despise those overfilled artificial lips, not attractive in any way, obviously naturally big lips are pretty, but artificial ones not so much.
I just find myself wondering what happens when they set up a date and the guy shows up and asks well wheres my date cause ir aint you. Your not the person I met online. Like they alter their looks so badly.
At Least She's Self Aware...?

That's the s**t nightmares are made of. "Mummy! The teeth people are coming to get me!"
*sighs* I'm going to go hang out with the guys working on the docks here. Pretty boys just don't do it.
Then one in front in white jacket and black pants is the one doing the photoshoping. His whole Insta account is full of gems like this one. His name is Marko Grubnic, nicknamed "Modni macak" (Fashion pussy).
Marko Grubnić would be the owner of the pic (2nd one). All of his posts look like this. Haven't seen him in the media a long time, probably because he stays away from "papparazzi" so noone would see him un edited.
Is It Just Me Or Does His Head Look Way Too Small?
Looking closely, i think that's her hand and his hand is behind the seat ahead of them
Load More Replies...Willing to bet that's one of those airplane interiors you can rent for your photo shoot
His body looks like he lifts but the lack of neck and trap muscles give it away
This looks artificial to me, but I gotta tell ya', I have friends that went took the precursors to steroids, and wound up looking like "pin heads". And the saddest part is that the more they saw themselves growing, the more they Iiked the look, and then the more they wanted to continue to grow. BDD is insidious.
She Got Called Out For Using Heavy Filters And Her Response Was Interesting
I agree with her. And it's a trend going on showing how you look with filters vs without.
This definitely isn't as bad as some of the other ones on here
Load More Replies...I'm soooo glad I'm (female) not the only one feeling this way. I think they are abhorrent and have never seen any man finding such.., umm,.. things,... attractive. (Do as you like, people, but I shudder and hope I never have to shake hands with her.)
Load More Replies...That she isn’t capable of seeing the difference or, at least, admitting there is a difference is delusional. I’ve known a handful of people -both women and men- who filter the hell out of their photos to the point they don’t even remotely resemble themselves. They’re adamant the filters are simply minor touch ups with hardly any difference. I’m concerned for their mental health not because of their obsession with filtering, but because they can’t tell the difference when they look in the mirror or at the unfiltered picture.
It's hard to tell. Her hair could be real but since everything is fake...........

ok but...why does the teen filter exist?? its a little creepy when u think about it and can be quite dangerous if misused. i understand if u wanna use it for fun and that's ok, but it can actually be used to catfish, especially for online child predators.
We had a hard enough time growing up comparing ourselves to pictures in magazines. Now not only is it everywhere, but we'll be having a hard enough comparing ourselves to our own edited pictures.
People keep commenting “she looks way more mature in the real picture“ this woman looks like she’s about 25 to me. Am I crazy? Is that what we consider “mature” now? Ouch.. no I agree she looks beautiful, and much better in the right picture.
You don't think a 25 year old looks more mature than an 11 year old?

One of the key determining factors of age that professionals use for age progression and determination are the *nasal labia folds* the lines that come off both sides of the nose like an upside down V and run down to the chin. They make little chubby pouches on each side of the nose. You don't have them in your 20's but they start small in your 30's, you can tell he's in his late 40's - 50's by the way his can be followed down to his chin. They wouldn't be that pronounced in a 30 year old man.
Load More Replies...Actually there are lots of 31 year olds that look like that. Looking middle aged can start in your early 20s. Especially if you experience early onset hair loss and are overweight. Youth doesn't last long for lots of people.
31 years old equates poor and struggling in my book. Own your age 50 or whatever dude.

To be fair, she probably started looking so horribly artificial after 10 of her 57 plastic surgeries, and at that point there's not really a way to return to your natural beauty... Might have tried to repair the damage and only made it worse?
Load More Replies...I feel for her. She must feel so bad about herself to have undergone so many procedures. Imagine being that uncomfortable in your own skin.

Why do people keep having plastic surgery when it just seems to make you look SO. MUCH. WORSE. ?
If you want a change that is realistically achievable and listen to your surgeon, people can´t even notice you had something done. This is under the circumstance that you don´t do it excessively of course.
Load More Replies...She is nuts. More and more plastic surgery all the time. She is supposedly bankrupt and owes millions to creditors but is always off on holiday abroad and paying for a lot of plastic surgery. She has 5 kids. The eldest is in a residential care home, older two live with their dad full-time and her youngest two live with their dad. She sees them occasionally when she has time out of her busy schedule of holidays and plastic surgeries. In trouble with the police time and time again and never receives any jail time. It's absolutely crazy.
Katie Price, aka Jordan a glamour model of the 90's and noughties, was always with a high profile lover, more famous now for being married and divorced multiple times going bankrupt drug & drink driving, the mucky mansion and abusing her ex's wife. The one huge positive in her life is how she has looked after her highly disabled son "oh, what a day" Harvey, this she has done very well. Harvey has been diagnosed with Septo-optic Dysplasia, as well as autism and Prader-Willi syndrome, which means that he requires constant care. Last year, Harvey became an ambassador for Mencap, a charity which works with people with learning disabilities. Harvey's father is Dwight York of Manchester United fame, he has never met him. Quite sad. Harvey-627...6cab2b.jpg
And this people is the most disgusting woman in the UK, she has the nerve to do make up masterclasses.
I can't stand her either but I think she has competition for the title of most disgusting woman in the UK. I'm thinking Katie Hopkins and Priti Patel would give her a run for her money.

Kinoko --- Its called a 'soft focus'. A fuzzy lens filter that professional portrait photographers use with women 'of a certain age.' The filter helps soften any wrinkles that will definitely be easily seen in portrait (close up) photography. --- Back in the day I used to be a photographer for a portrait photography company. We were instructed to use it with, for sure, women 60 and over. Maybe 50 and over. You take pictures of the whole family, and then you take individual pictures of each person and you used the filter on the older woman for sure. Then she gets a portrait of her that looks better than she expects and doesn't know (or care) why, then she orders extra copies of that. They use it in TV also, I noticed it when watching Grace and Frankie. While you are watching you will notice Jane Fonda will be softened, and then the camera switches to the person she is speaking to and that person is NOT softened, then they switch back to Jane, etc. It is kind of weird to watch. Fuzzy, not fuzzy, fuzzy, not fuzzy.

Fake tan, you’re supposed to put it on, wait a few hours and wash it off, but a few idiotic dickheads like myself like to wear it without washing it off cos it’s darker, the spots are when water from drink condensation, sweat etc has touched the tan, it’s funny and gross 😝

Why though? Her body looks normal in the second picture, even if it wasn't a postpartum body.

No way she really said that with this picture, then went out in public.
I bounced back to pre- pregnancy weight really quickly, but because I am a human mammal, I was left with a loose "baby pouch" for like 6 months, and still carry a slight bit of extra fat under my naval- and it's been 8 years....

That's messed up to dis on others but i was one that left the hospital practically my prepregnancy weight even with my 4th child.

Yes. This is like that bad car crash that you want to ignore but just can't stop yourself from looking at.
Load More Replies...The second one looks like a dude in a wig. (My former step daughter had "glamour" shots done and my brother had never met her. He saw a few of the photos sitting on the dining room table and said, "I didn't know you knew any drag queens". I spit diet coke all over them.)
So this is really a trans person trying to look more feminine. Makes sense
A Woman From The Danish Equivalent To Teen Mom, She's Not A Teen Anymore
She knows.. The filtered picks are some years old. She has luckily reverted to being her natural herself. Being on Teen Mom affected her self-esteem severely. You wouldn't believe the horrible comments about her natural look she received on social media during the series. Some along the line: You're probably a horrible mother because your teeth are ugly. Or "you look like s**t because your clothes are from the Danish equivalent to Walmart" The culture around edited photos starts with our selves. We tend to forget that when we point out fingers at someone. At least three fingers are pointing right back at our sorry ar&es. We're the one's who follow those "influencers" with the less that natural looks... So she knows... But it took some time and some mental hardship to get to where she is now.
It doesn't even look like a real person! I just can't imagine touching that face and feeling anything other than plastic or rubber & definitely not skin!
She’s Already Petite But They Shrank Her Even More While Forgetting Her Forearms
Is that her face palming the editing on her own body? They made her look like a child!
Definitely face palming her forearms. Well, maybe not those, but the rest of her body they edited. Now if they shrunk her head just a wee bit, she'd definitely pass for a little kid.

This Gal Is Acting As If We Don’t Know What She Actually Looks Like
I think the lesson to be learned from this trend is that these people, for whatever reason, feel like they are not ok as they are, and that is very sad and disturbing, as much as it is scary. It, in my opinion at least, is as destructive as an eating disorder. We are all who we are, and we are all important and beautiful and worthy just by being ourselves.
I think that one's in front of a green screen. The lighting on her doesn't seem to match the background.
Load More Replies...This is more like a lie than a filter. And yeah, that shadow is hard to explain.
It seems to make her happy. Why not? I don't think she cares if we know what she looks like. She's having fun! Go girl!
Posts vs. Tagged
i think that all the things that are over-done in photoshop are probably all the person's insecurities.
Picture #1 what you wish you looked like in Highschool! Picture #2 What you really looked like in Highschool. Both are beautiful, but #2 has character and doesn't resemble a redheaded version of Farrah Abraham (from Teen Mom to Porn Star). Embrace yourself!
Maternity Photoshoot vs. Youtube Video 4 Weeks Later
This so common. Plus in 4 weeks especially when the pregnicay is almost due most women hold much more water and the baby grows alot
Yes, the last few weeks are often the worst. And the following days after childbirth no matter how you delivered. You can hold so much fluids, really uncomfortable and you can be almost unrecognizable. Usually goes away pretty quickly though. So not as unrealistic as it may seem.
Load More Replies...y’all this is trisha paytas, go off as much as you want on her because she said that hitler was right in killing all the jews and she liked the nazis
I think this is Trisha Paytas? (no idea how her name is spelled). If it is her, I am not surprised, she posts heavily edited images all the time.
Pregnancy is a bodywrecker, also good lighting And pose can do miracles with appearance even without photoshop
I worked with this stripper for years and she was a size 12au, very sexy in all the right places, and I’d see these photos online of someone with the same name, looking completely different but she was size 6au etc, took me 5 yrs to work out it was her shots for work and she was just super photogenic.

Load More Replies...That isn't her, or pretend her, she makes most of her money wearing brands in public, her photo is always being takin and I've never seen a Photoshop. Her mother done everything she could to destroy the girls self worth but, I think(hope) she sees how abusive her family really was/is and knows her self worth, designers pay her rediclous amounts of money to wear their brand.
Time for her to visit a plastic surgeon again. The tip of her nose could use a bit of rotation upward.
Is this supposed to be Paris Hilton on the left? Good Lord somebody stop the madness
Her Caption Says: ‘I Actually Don’t Have Foundation On, Only Concealer And Everything Else’ But Am I Wrong If I Only See A Heavily Filtered Pic?
Not to draw attention to it, but is it just me or did she edit her chest down to the size and shape of a twinkie? And how many strategically placed, perfectly circular beauty marks are too many? Asking for a friend.
Her face has better lighting than the reflective metal on the washing machine.
Instagram vs. Tagged Photos
It's so sad when actual gorgeous people aren't satisfied with how they look. Tells a lot about our society's toxic standards.
The tagged photo is so much prettier - why do these people want to look like drag queens?
I feel like this one wouldn’t be unattainable with a good make up artist
as a person with the "preferred" lip size (giant top lip, small bottom lip) i think small lips are just so much prettier
Well I just prefere natural beauty. Make up should enhance your natural features
Load More Replies...I swear they based the filters on Anna Nichole or am I seeing things wrong
Her natural picture is so much more human-like... as opposed to Jessica Rabbitish. Very uncomfortable.
She's so much more beautiful in picture #2. She appears real, vibrant, and whatever flaws she believes she has (I see NONE) are what makes her beautiful. The "canned" expressionless overly edited photos quite frankly are sickening to look at nowadays. Too much!

“For Everybody”
I think the only difference is the angle, the camera, and the lighting.
No, she slimmed the waist and rounded the hips to give herself an hourglass figure when in the "real" picture her body is more straight, not that curvy. She also did something to the breasts, although I'm not sure what exactly.

I never had any problems with her, but I really dislike her for wearing that dress. Wearing a replica would have showed respect for Marilyn and the original dress. Wearing the original is the opposite of respect.

Whenever I see these, it just makes me sad. Why can't people just love their natural selves? I know its difficult, I struggled for year with my own body image. I've since learned to love myself exactly as I am today. Also, I understand wanting to put the best version of yourself out there, but when the best version of yourself isn't anywhere near your authentic self, it defeats the purpose.
I know there’s a pressure to ‘look your best’ and that encourages people to photoshop or otherwise edit images but I find myself hoping that they find the inner peace and confidence to be themselves and comfortable in their own skin. You are you, that makes you unique and amazing, yes dye your hair, pluck your eyebrows, use makeup whatever floats your boat but be true to yourself and stay beautiful, don’t allow society or your peers force you to digitally enhance you, it ends up losing your energy and your unique look that’s attached to who you are. I love people, they all have a story to tell, they all have a place to be and a claim for beauty, I want you to share that not some pixelated version of you. You are amazing and valuable, hold onto that ❤️❤️
…In what world exactly are peoples faces as smooth as these pictures are making them out to be…? they literally look like glass…

Feels like these people don’t hear enough about how beautiful they are in real life. Sad to mention, but people make them fake themselves by criticizing their looks, and people are criticizing them for faking their looks.
