Why does my skin look bad on my iphone camera?

I don't have acne but I have a few blemishes (not many at all) yet my skin looks dull and blotchy on my camera! Even my friends say my skin doesn't look like that in real life.

Maybe its the lighting…

Its probably the lighting.also, do you wear make up? Even if you only wear a little or if it looks flawless in person, the camera can pick it up differently based on how it may or may not reflect light differently than your skin, etc.
Mine?

  • Why does the video quality look bad when uploaded to the computer? [iPhone 4]? When I upload my video to youtube in HD directly from the iphone, I go on the computer to watch it on youtube and the quality is perfectly normal. But when I copy the file from my iphone and onto my computer the video looks grainy? I wan't to put it into after effects and do some editing but how can I go about KEEPING the quality of the video? I don't get why it gets all grainy when I put it onto my computer vs. It being perfect when I upload it directly from my ipod to youtube?

But for some reason the iPhone camera makes my nose look huge and my face look fat! I started crying when I saw the picture. I've taken pictures in the past on a regular film camera and my nose looks completely different. Does anyone else have this problem?
