Why do I feel so ugly on camera but perfect in a mirror?
Whenever I look into a mirror I feel like model, Ill be so proud of myself and my looks lol but then Ill pull out my iPhone to look at myself on the front camera and then I look ugly all of a sudden. Like my hair looks different, my skin tone on my face won't match my body, my lips seem redder, my acne scars are like 10x more noticeable…
So why is this? And which one is more accurate?
The phone will be more closer up, and normally show harsher lights as some mirrors are in good lights and make you look flawless
Its a camera. And everybody has this effect too, trust me. But a mirror is what people see you as, a camera is just what you look like theough flashes, technology, pixels, etc.mirrors are more accurate for sure.
Omg thanks for asking this i have the same problem i think it is so weird anyway i look really good in my mirror but when i take pictures i think it adds ugly effect to my picture i bought a 800$ Nikon d3000 and i think that cameras can either be to high quality where it shows to much detail and gets a lot of light that you don't want on your picture and can make your skin look oily. Or you can have to low of quality and make your picture look fuzzy or not enough light in and just leaving out important details.
In real life, i.e. To someone staring at you, you look better than in a camera or in a mirror.
- Why does the iphone camera make me look ugly when the flash is off? When i take pictures of myself with an iphone without the flash on i look so bad my forehead and nose look bigger my eyebrows and whole face look uneven my under eyes look darker and i don't look anything like i do in the mirror, but if i take a picture w the same face in the same position it looks 10x better. Why is this?
- Why does my face look longer in my iphone camera than in the mirror? I know that the mirror is a flip of what I "really" look like, but why does my iphone camera make my face look long? Whenever I ask people what face shape I have, they usually say round. Buy when I look at myself on my iphone I see an ugly oval. Help! Here are some pictures of me: iice.tumblr.com/tagged/me
- Why do I look ugly in my camera, but not in the mirror? Whenever I look into my iPhone camera I look extremely pale, my zits look extremely red, and my eyes just appear "brown" but when I look into the mirror I look a little tan, and my zits look very small and not that big of a deal, and my eyes appear more greenish and hazel. And no there's no lighting of the room when I'm looking into the mirror it's just natural light. Is it just the camera that makes me look ugly? Or is my mirror wrong and my Cameras right? :/
- Why do I look so ugly on camera? Every time I take a picture on the iPhone camera and it flips the photo I look absolutely disgusting? My face looks slanted and one eye looks bigger than the other is this a joke? I thought I looked bad in the mirror but if that's what everyone sees me as that's even worse are those photos accurate?
