They were talking about girls instagrams and saying that this girl, clearly FaceTuned, was “super hot” and of course I ignored it and moved on because that’s their business, but then they saw a pic of another girl from their school who looked nice, but they said she was ugly and I went off on all of them.

L Wilde but u can’t even compare her to anyone today! I mean then there weren’t all this make up stuff today that I feel the tricks are like damn magic because I damn didn’t recognize my brothers gf day after at the breakfast table. Marilyn was a true beauty! That’s why she is an icon.. and will be forever.. who will ever get near that again? With all the surgeries fillers and ect. Not that I’m against that everyone should do what they want with their body damn it have woman fought to have that right I’m just over them lying about doing even fillers ... like we are suppose to believe Kylie Jenner just grew up with a giant ass and boobs .. also what people are missing is young skin vs older. It’s so easy to oook so pretty when u are so young u barely need any make up so ofc make up makes it look flawless.. unless ofc u have some skin problems .

Sassy C She was a true beauty but she also had cosmetic surgery as well as a professional hair and make up artist. It would sometimes take them six hours to transform her from Norma Jean to Marilyn Monroe. When she didn’t have her make up on she could go unrecognized.

I was a 90s teen and magazines were bad enough but now everyone seems to alter their looks. The problem is they then begin to believe they look like the altered pictures. I have avoided learning how to edit my photos as I know with my mental health it would be a bad idea. In the UK wr have reality stars who refuse to believe they look like unaltered paparazzi photos because they change their face their weight everything on their own photos. Suddenly you see a picture they didn't edit and they're 20lb heavier and look normal. Nothing wrong with that but for young girls they look up to these people and feel so depressed they don't look like that. You can even alter videos of yourself now I saw a video of James Charles where he had altered his face down to even his eyes.

I stopped wearing makeup two years ago, and it has boosted my confidence so much. I realised I was hiding my beauty behind a mask of insecurities. Also, not worrying what I look like in public is really freeing. I never got compliments when I was wearing makeup (only ig) but now people tell me I'm beautiful all the time. I think it has to do with being more confident and comfortable in my own skin + more approachable. I have realised that the most beautiful feature is a real smile, whether the teeth a perfect or not. I understand that makeup is an artform for many but it looses its purpose when you have to wear a full face of makeup everytime you leave the house. The society needs to understand that true beauty comes from within. The advertisements are constantly telling us, that we, as women, have to fix this and that and there seems to be a solution for everything. The truth is, we don't need to fix anything but our mindset. When you are content in your own skin and take care of yourself inside and out (whether you wear makeup or not) , you are a danger to the beauty industry because they make money off peoples insecurities. I dont know if my comment makes sense to you. I'm just really happy with myself and I wish I could share it with everyone. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful, confident and able. I wish you will have a great day❤️

[@zeenaandbrielleshow1]

So many more beauty influencers should show their imperfections like this. THIS IS WHAT HUMANS LOOK LIKE!! Modern beauty standards have really clouded women and pressured us to constantly criticize ourselves and our self image. You have this body for the rest of your life, don’t waste all that time hating it!!!

[@LearningwithLani]

I think comparing yourself to others is a normal part of figuring out your identity in middle school and high school but now that we've gotten to the stage that regular people are editing and adjusting their face and bodies, it's a more toxic environment. At least looking in magazine or on websites 10 years ago, the people were usually famous so there were steps of separation.

I feel like it's obvious on Instagram when someone is using a filter and has edited their pic, but the one that really affects me is KZbin... I watch a lot of beauty influencers and because of the flattering lighting it's near impossible to see their pores or blemishes or fine lines so they all look flawless! I'm 28 btw

[@bnb0510]

SpaceDementia_ yep YT as well. Many “influencers” have beauty filters attached right to their cameras. There’s so many options out there to alter looks that people are unaware of.

[@FreeDrugz]

@@SpaceDementia_ it's definitely not always obvious on instagram. Almost no influencer uploads a raw photo onto instagram, some just tweak their photos more blatantly than others. But even when it doesn't "look like they edited", you can can pretty much 100% guarantee it has been in some way if it's on insta.

[@SpaceDementia_]

@@FreeDrugz yeah you are right, when I said it was obvious I was thinking about the instagrams of people I know!

KirstenGlae Parker Luckily I already had that attitude to myself at age 15. Though I had some pimples back then, a pretty asymmetrical face, even different eye sizes and slighthly crooked teeth. It still looked really cute. All this would have looked botched and unnatural if I ever had the desire to change smth. Real man like natural beauty. Of course I do use a little bit of make up to enhance some features, but very subtle and I never hated smth about my “natural” features. I find all the young influencers that have obvious things done like lip and cheek and chin fillers bu** ugly. This overdone contouring and highlighting and skin tanning. These broad, black painted on eyebrow “logs”. Truly horrifying. Totally void of any personality and glow and happiness. I just don’t get it.

[@You-cm2lh]

I've never seen an influencer talk about their asymmetry, I also take pictures of looks I do and it's so frustrating when your face isn't the same on both sides so you have to do certain poses/ angles to disguise it :/ I'm glad you talked about it!

It makes you question who you are as a mother, a spouse, a friend and even makes you question your own character. You are very brave for laying yourself bare in this video. Amazing.

When I was in middle school I would look up KZbin videos on how to cover up acne with make up and my face never looked as flawless as the KZbin gurus. I thought I just had the worst acne ever.

And she was asked wasn’t she ashamed of her thighs cuz she clearly wouldn’t be able to ‘fit in’ girly outfits. She answered, “I’m an athlete. I try my best to stay in the shape I need that could get me great game plays and scores. Being pretty isn’t what I do for living. That’s not my job.There r ppl who are paid to be beautiful, so if ppl want some eye candy look for someone else. There’re a lot out there.” It blew my mind and I keep it to my heart to this day. Those ppl who make their living looking great will spend that much time, money and effort to keep themselves employeed. Those who don’t hav such occupations,, don’t need to. It’d be great to realized this early on in life. Once it soaks in, it’ll help especially young girls and women to focus on sth that’s related and useful to them.

I stopped comparing myself to others a long time ago and just accepted the fact that we are all unique and beautiful in our own way. I've been much happier and more comfortable in my own skin. Love who you are and respect that you're different. ❤️

The influencer issue goes so deep. I've struggled with ANA since I was 8. At this point, obviously the fake body images can be triggering, but what gets me harder is the productivity image. Influencers package themselves as beautiful, productive, healthy, and balanced. Many with an ED have issues separating productivity, body image, and self worth. When I see these super perfected influencer lifestyles I feel lazy and ugly automatically in this snowball of emotional flagellation. I'm working on it. Weirdly enough GirlBoss weight loss and energy shakes were the ad on this video. 😳

[@kittykat.88]

I feel that way to with the pressure to be super productive but I find I am happier doing my own thing. When I try to be perfect in every way I feel exhausted!
