35 Embarrassing Instagram Vs. Reality Pics Of People Trying To Hide Their Age
Getting old is a privilege that not many people have. With age comes wisdom, patience, and certainty that ensures stability in everyday life. Many of us look up to experienced leaders and believe they have the know-how to secure a bright future.
So, why do so many people want to avoid aging? When you look around, it seems that many are prepared to do a lot to look and feel younger. Expensive creams, cosmetic and surgical procedures, insanely strict routines—anything to keep that clock from ticking.
The people on this list might have not spent a lot of time and money on their looks, but they did put a lot of effort into photoshopping their wrinkles out. After all, who cares about how you look in real life—it’s all about looking flawless online. Scroll down and see for yourself how erasing too many flaws might look quite a bit off.

She's 50 Years Old And Photoshops Herself To Look Like She's In Her Late 20s. Women, There Is Nothing Wrong With Looking Your Age. You're Not Expected To Look Like A 20 Year Old Forever
Hilary Mol 2 years ago
No, not 20 forever, but the idea of "youth" is pushed on us pretty much until we're in the grave. Still, it's unrealistic for women to try and carve decades off of our faces (and bodies) in photos to try and convince anybody we're THAT much younger than we are. Eep. J. Lo, you really don't have to go this hard. You're beautiful as you are.

Maja Šuput is the name of the singer, she doesn't look like the picture on the left, but right picture is taken at the bad moment. And no, I don't like her or her music.

Yes, but also why do you need to choose the worst possible photos for these comparisons? She's literally in the middle of swallowing something here, how wrinkle-free does anyone look while making that face?

What do you think ?

I tried a filter while doing a selfie....it suggested a move further away from the camera and wear a bag over my head as it can't work miracles
Candice Daoud 3 months ago
That would be the only filter that work for me for sure lol I have very little yellow in my skin tone so I often look boiled in pictures but don't look half as red in real life. I would honestly be happy if I did not have to constantly explain when on web cam or in photo that I do not have 3rd degree burns.

How is it they don't know how awful the fake looks?

A teenage girl went missing a couple of years ago in Germany (unfortunately, she is still missing to this day). The media were quick to realise a search photo of her, but this was so heavily filtered, she was totally unrecognisable. It was ages before they released an accurate one. Maybe if they had done this sooner, someone may have recognised her (assuming she was/is still alive)
