On the internet, we can be anything we choose to be. Thanks to tools like Photoshop, that is more than just possible.
So, do we go smaller, do we go bigger, or do we go for a poreless look? Or do we do our best to be our authentic selves and admit that we all have flaws that make us uniquely beautiful?
The following are sixty people who did not choose the authentic route, not even a little.
Check out these Instagram photo edits that will have you avoiding the use of filters forever.
Photo editing takes a lot of practice to get perfect. Before you reach that skill level, you may accidentally turn yourself into the undead girl from a horror movie.
One filter might be okay. Using two filters is pushing it a little. This, though, this is going way too far. We guarantee she looked better without the filters.
When you decide to photoshop your waist, make sure you’re not standing in front of a mirror in the picture. Or at least photoshop your reflection in the mirror too.
A whistleblower claims to have taken the second picture. We do have to admit that the legs look chopped in an attempt to keep the car’s lines perfect. Who would want to be caught distorting that car?
Seeing what new hairstyles will look like can be fun. However, unless your stylist specializes in yarn hair, this photo editing technique will not be showing you what any future looks may be like.
A little photoshopping is understandable. After all, who wants a profile photo with a zit on their nose? However, photoshopping yourself from head to toe might be pushing it.
With all the money the Kardashians have to spend on physical trainers and plastic surgery, you wouldn’t think they would feel the need to edit a thing. You would be wrong. Look at the doorframe.
Sometimes, we like to see what we would look like with a little plastic surgery. It’s a good idea to stop editing at the point where the plastic surgeon would rather quit their job than attempt to continue.
Noses are almost as weird looking as ears. We can understand why some people don’t like the ones they’re stuck with. However, erasing it might be going a tad too far.
This is what happens when you don’t give the photographer any credit and say you took the picture yourself using a camera timer. The photographer’s friend rats you out.
She almost got away with some last-minute pixel makeup to hide a blemish. If only she had remembered that rays of the sun don’t normally bend like that.
She looked healthier before the filters. When you are in the hospital, people want to know that you are going to survive. It is not the time to turn yourself ghost pale on purpose.
While organs can ruin the perfect picture, we all know you have them. We’re going to know the picture is fake if you’re missing a few vital ones and are still standing.
These heavily edited pictures have been circulating around the internet because of how overdone they are. It made a lot of people want to know what she looks like underneath all the unnecessarily altered pixels. This rare photo is the answer.
Friends are great, except when they’re sharing your secrets with the world. In this case, the secret was that she actually looks like a fairly normal human.
People often feel insecure about themselves because of beauty standards pushed on us by stars such as the Kardashians. The truth is that even the Kardashians are using heavy editing.
She got the reflection right, so she gets a lot of credit for that. There just needs to be some improvements made when it comes to not erasing any glass cutouts.
She touched up her photo a little. The problem here is that if she ever goes to meet anyone she knows from online, they’re not going to know who she is.
You know you have changed too much when even the pavement in the background starts to slip into another dimension. It’s time to back away from the edit button.
Yes, we want our teeth to be white. However, even a dentist will recommend that you avoid the whitest shade of veneers if you don’t want to look like you’re wearing false teeth.
Society has told us that a small waist is appealing. What they may have failed to mention is that if you go too small, you no longer look like you’re from this world.
Not only did they not listen to the rule about avoiding warping the lines in the background, but they also somehow lost part of her arm. It’s an arm! She still needs that!
When the photo starts looking more like a painting than a photo, it ceases to be a photo. The building has more realism than the woman standing next to it.
Pro tip: If you are going to edit your shape, do not stand in front of a background that includes a bunch of straight lines. In fact, never stand in front of stairs again.
She altered her teeth, her tan, and even smoothed her skin. However, she stopped when she got to her legs. At least we have evidence that there’s a real person under all that photoshopping.
