Why do I look so different on webcam vs my pictures? S Pics included?

So um, basically when I take a picture on webcam and than when I take a picture in general.

I also look pretty different in the mirror just it's weird how on webcam I look actually cute, I guess cause of the bad quality or the way it captures light?

Anyways, Webcam pics:

Iphone pictures/camera:

Maybe I know how to pose my face? I don't know. It's just depressing.v _ v

BUT YEAH MY QUESTION IS WHY DO I LOOK DIFFERENT IN WEBCAM/PICTURES?
It's nothing to do with my self-esteem or why I look different from the mirror, just I don't know why the webcam makes me look cuter than average. Does it just hide flaws or something?

You look pretty in either web cam or Iphone. Maybe the web cam has a better quality and are using a filter on your phone? That could make a big difference.

You look pretty in both… I just think the braces are the only difference.of course braces don't add a lot of greatness to a pic, but youre still pretty in both!

Well let me start of by saying you are very gorgeous. The webcam has always made people look different vs a regular camera/. The light plays a key in the pic too. Web is a staged self and cam is a real time self. Either way, work it hunni!

  • Why does my pictures look alot different on my iphone than on my computer? When I take a photo of myself it looks a lot better on my iphone than on my computer. Why is this? I think it has something to do with the brightness on my iphone and computer but I don't know. How do I fix this problem? And my photo looks different on different computers. Like when I use my computer my photo will look completely different from when I use someone elses computer Its definitely the brightness but how do I fix the problem
  • Why do I look so ugly in pics? I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I have an ok face shape. Like I'm ok with the way I look. I take a pic on my iPhone and WTF WHO IS THIS UGLY PERSON like my cheeks look huge and my face is so long, my eyes look small when I have huge eyes, my nose looks bigger, and when my nose comes down the lines are crooked everything is uneven. I'm def not photogenic but how do I make myself look better
  • Why do I look different when I take pictures on my iphone horizontally and vertically? So I realized that every time someone takes a video or a picture of me, I end up looking really short (though I'm already short to begin with) and my legs look very chunky and look less like they do in the mirror. But if I take a picture horizontally, then everything looks kind of proportionate and more importantly, my legs are a lot more nicer looking and slimmer. Is there really a difference between taking pictures horizontally or vertically or is it just me?
  • Why do I look different in pictures taken in the mirror? Compared to pictures taken of me or on my iPhone(front facing camera)? I find when I'm in front of a mirror taking a pic I look different. Is it because of the refection? And which one looks more like me? I'm guessing the one taken in front on the mirror?
