FaceTune

So there's such a desire to look perfect or try and become 'Instagram famous' that we are constantly editing photos to the point that we 'tag' photos with 'nomakeup' when we think we look a little bit rough. I think that's a shame.

I'm not the prettiest person in the world and there is undoubtedly a pressure to look good. I think it's unfair but I don't let the pressure make me wear a full face of make up, and if I do chose to wear make up I do it for me and no one else.

There's an app called FaceTune and it is like a basic Photoshop to edit photos on the go.

Here's my original photo:



Literally just woken up, no make up. I don't look too bad. I'm having a good skin day.



Now this masterpiece was created in under 5 minutes on my phone. I smoothed out my skin and I then used the 'smoother' option and eradicated any texture. It makes the skin look horrible and really fake. The eye thing is pretty cool only because my eyes are boring.

I can see why this could be a good thing but I'd agree that considering we live in such delicate society where we feed to young girls that they aren't pretty unless they have no make up on, or unless their skin is perfect I can see this be devastating. They'll be acused of being fake when one of these photos gets put on a medium of social media and yet they'd be told they were ugly if they didn't.

Interesting and depressing society we live in.
