But sometimes you don’t look very attractive in the photos. And, of course, if you’re going to post them, you want to look your best. What can you do? Instead of posting a photo you don’t like, you can turn to photo retouching. When you retouch an image, you improve its appearance. Many apps offer you the ability to do that. Their easy-to-use tools help you smooth your skin, make your teeth straighter and whiter, and more. Within the apps, you can also change your facial features. You can make your eyes rounder and brighter. You can change the shape of your face or your nose. You can also change the direction of the light source or add highlights. All in all, you can make yourself look like you wish you looked. Now you’ve uploaded your retouched photos to social media. People leave positive comments, and you get a lot of likes. That’s great, right? Maybe not. With so many people sharing personal images of their lives, it’s almost like a contest. Who looks the best, takes perfect selfies and lives up to social media’s standard of beauty? You need to be part of that crowd so that you don’t feel left out. Worse yet, you feel if you’re not part of that crowd, you may be criticized for your looks. Maybe you think that if you don’t look like the influencers you follow, you’re not good enough. People generally retouch themselves to have larger eyes, thinner chins and brighter skin. Does everyone now look the same? It seems like a lot of people are trying to match up to unrealistic beauty ideals. That isn’t good for anyone’s self-image. Perhaps it’s time to post the real you and only lightly retouched, if at all. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
