đŠ You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
I thought that I was just bad at doing makeup for YEARS because, no matter what I did, it looked like makeup. Influencers had me absolutely convinced that there was a way to wear foundation and it look like normal skin đż
Influencers typically use way too much foundation and concealer as most of them are trapped in the drag queen style make-up which is the only one they really know how to do. That only looks 'good' on a stage, under stage lights, or on video, heavily lit with bright white light, and a digital filter slapped on to make it look 'normal' and 'glowing' and 'poreless'. if you saw them off camera in that make-up you'd understand how they look as bad as anyone else. I suggest following a MU like Lisa Eldridge who has professional make-up skills and doesn't rely on drag queen make-up looks. She uses as little foundation as possible, She's the creative head of Lancome and has worked as a MU on major films. One thing she says which stood out for me is that in the real world of professional film, nobody contours. Nobody. It's a stage technique to either feminize a male face or to make a face stand out to the back rows and looks appalling IRL or in a film situation where you want an actress to look beautiful but natural.
Same! I thought I was so bad and unskilled because even my basic makeup never looked like theirs. I just gave up and accepted that I was doomed to sub-par mediocrity. I've always preferred a more natural, understated look, anyway. But you see all these people literally painting on foundation like it's spackle to get that "flawless" look, but just imagine how awful and cakey it would look in normal life.
The turning point for me was when the massive concealer triangles were everything. I have genetic dark circles, and even I don't need a fraction of the amount of product they use. From that point on, I was more aware of reality vs. expectation, and of the constant blurring of any semblance of humanity. No one is flawless. We all have pores. Our hair gets frizzy with flyaways. Our "imperfections" aren't imperfections at all.
@@littleblackpistol Can confirm. I've never had them contour and the look is 'no makeup, I just wake up like this' (I don't lol). They make it look SO good though and I'm always like 'damn, I wish I wasn't so tired/ it's so late and we have to be back here early, cuz I don't wanna waste this face and wish I could go out!' lol. Even in the few 'glam' scenes I've done, no contouring. Funny, I also call it 'drag makeup' since I believe I heard it was mainly invented/popularized by them.
That's exactly why I started a channel for women over 30 who enjoy natural light makeup looks. I will never use filters. You can see my acne oily dehydrated skin as it is. Take it or leave it. I'm not into Nikkie Tutorials or JS makeup but to each their own
Omg me too!!
What bothers me more than filters (which are too obvious many times) is when some skinfluencers despite having fillers, regular derm appointments, and skin procedures (what have you) and they still claim that itâs because of specific products or a routine. Instead of disclosing what really helps (like prescription products or derms) they use it to promote sponsored products. I would suggest Cassandra making a video like that...
There's lots of videos about that on this channel, no?
the only p
QQ was
I mean you should never buy a product you saw some IG model using rofl. Literally every week they have a new skincare product, which should tell you they aren't actually using them. It's mind blowing how they get paid so much. The question is who are the people buying that crap?
@@nukiesduke6868 My point was that imo promoting skincare while using filters may not be as much of a fake advertisement as when they undergo all the procedures while claiming it was the product. If that makes sense...
Having watched Nikki's videos in the past, I had always wondered how her makeup looked so flawless all the time and it never dawned on me with the filters until your video pointed it out. I'm floored...but so thankful for your content bringing these things to light!
I first became aware of the body filters when Stephanie Lange did a video about it. I was blown away and I immediately sat down with my daughter and we had an in depth discussion about it.
Deepfake should be BANNED. I do not give a damn about what anyone else has to say. The dumb argument that "oh but it helps to creat funny hehe-haha memes" isn't good enough. This is EXTREMELY dangerous and needs to be stopped immediately.
How does one ban deepfaking? Itâs literally something that person has to create themselves with software, images and videos.
Sadly people are having a real hard time keeping up with the tech. One thing that really scared me was adults using young kid filters then doing lewd things. They would then say ohh it was a filter! I think it actually got Snapchat to legally write across that filter that it was an actual "youth" filter if I am not mistaken! How scary!!!
but it makes haha funny memes
true
@@oshifish2 very, also Imagine being accused of a crime etc very worrying indeed
OMG tiktok had me so depressed I didnât know about tiktok filters and I saw all these beautiful people with perfect skin it made me feel disgusting! Specially the because my ex bf followed them! But I am learning to differentiate blurred skin and real skin - this video really helps me a lot! Thank you for bringing awareness about this
Aw im so proud of you love! â€ïžđ€
Tik Tok is so triggering in a way, it used to be fun lol
Yes same !! For a long time I thought everyone making skincare and makeup content have literally perfect skin all the time but now I can see that there's a difference between healthy/ clear skin and blurry skin with a filter on.
100000 hugs!
Yup blurred skin and even baby face filters. That make you look like a ... Baby. Or doll like. đ That's a good example, the first few Chinese TikTok videos. At first I thought ppl looked super perfect and then I realized... Yeah they look blurry or strange.
As I look at my Zoom makeup filters that just come pre-installed đ đ It's begun to be normalized!
Wow look who's here!
Thankyou for calling out Nikkie, I think it's crazy how much filtering she does to her videos and yet no one says anything about it. It's gotten to a point where I've had to unfollow because it all just seems so unrealistic and unattainable.
And I thought that's effect of cosmetics !đ
Itâs a lie
I remember when Snapchat came out the filters were more natural, as years go by we see more and more excessive blurring along with new platforms and itâs honestly not cute anymore! were not cartoons đ
The first time I saw a snapchat filter my friend turned my face into a bear!
I never laughed so hard because I had never imagined it. But snap filters were definitely always EXTRA EXTRA
Ever since the flower crown filter!
It's really scary and kind of depressing to see the diffrence without filters... but what really shocked me, was when I saw that nearly all Snapchat filters make you nose smaller. I didn't use Snapchat for a while and once I did, I was so sad that my face looked weird with the filters on (And on everyone else it looked so good). Came to realise that it made my already tiny nose even more tiny and it looked sooo weird. The fact, that it took me a really long time to realise this...was very scary to me. An with the nose job "trend" going on, these Filters are really bad for ourself.
@@romcom5 I think that was one of the first ones that slimed chins and noses and made the eyes bigger too
@@a.b.c.d.v.v6254 Yep. Snapchat filters made my daughter suddenly ashamed of her nose and not be happy with it, despite it being a totally normal nose.
The way you say women need make-up at work to look "professional and presentable" also shows how ingrained this is into our minds. When I started a new job, I wore full make-up the first few days, something I literally never do, before I felt like I was not enough, looked too young and not professional. It took me a few days to realize that this is not who I am and stop. Because I never wear make-up and I shouldn't be seen as less professional because of it
It's a really US view, tbqh, this idea that women in the workplace are not 'professional' without a faceful of cosmetics, while men are perfectly professional with just their bare skin. And a stupid one, come to that. It's not an ideal in many other countries, the more sexist and conformist ones, yes, to some degree (parts of Asia which are insanely conformist spring to mind), but I hear it most from US people in the Anglosphere.
@lara I agree with you
This!!!!
I donât wear make up anymore not even to work.
In Mexico we have a word "arreglate" that could translate as "get ready" but the literal translation means "fix yourself" and i HATE it, what and why do i need to fix myself? im not broken, there is nothing wrong with me. I hate that we have to wear makeup and do our hair even for the most basic works. I work as an architect in a construction, with all the dirt, the concrete, polution the hot weather, the sweat they still wanted me to wear makeup. All male architects and engineers "suggested" that i need to at least wear "natural makeup" i asked them why and they could never give me an answer, they just knew that as a women i should do it. I never wore makeup, i wore a messy bun underneath my safety helmet and thats it, my work was still as valuable. We need to change our minds about it.
@@zami2525 it has to be changed as a mass change, i also hope it does. i also speak spanish and it is so sad how this word makes women feel and even women tell other women this word. tell me if i am wrong but i feel like there is also a pressure put on women because of this because of that other phrase "te tratan como te ven" i have also in a way hated that phrase because it is sad that "people will treat you like they see you?" like, why is the world so superficial??
Hyram is the worst filter fail considering he has pretty much been elevated to a âgod of skincareâ for some reason.
Can you tell me what happend?
Even I'm curious to know, what happened?
What?
yes! he'll talk about how red his skin is or how he's got a breakout but as I look closer I think girl where? completely blurred. it's a joke especially since he's selling SKINCARE products.
God, heâs a fraud. Is he even licensed??
This is so accurate. James Charles is also way up there with Jeffree Star and those pesky Kardashians that NEVER seen to dissappear once and for all.
Hyram should've been called out too. He uses filters and gives so many young people false hope that they can get perfect glowing poreless skin which is anatomically impossible.
yes heâs the ultimate hypocrite too!
Yes! Someone needs to call him out and stop kissing his đ
Also he is the worst at undisclosing sponsorships
I don't understand why people follow him, he doesn't have any credentials to give skincare advice. Seems like a pretentious skincare enthusiast nothing else

It was years ago hearing Cindy Crawford say âI wish I looked like the Cindy Crawford in the magazinesâ.
:-(
hehe i guess so and as a person who remembers Tom Cruise since the 80's i could tell that was a fake because the face was too "young/smooth" and the VOICE. Dead give away that wasn't him.
If most of these deep fakings are of people from the 90's and earlier times then its to "mainly" fool those who were born in the 90's and now. They wouldn't know to tell the difference.
When I see Cindy Crawford today you can see all the plastic surgery she has had done. Yes she's beautiful but her face almost never aged. She still sells the same makeup and is still trkng to convince us that what her skin care did all the magic..... Can I just puke right now.... Let me just add I'm not a big fan of filters I don't even use them.
@@nicholerin Cindy Crawford has been open about plastic surgery and skin treatments. She even said living healthy isn't enough to maintain a youthful appearance. Not a fan of hers in any way, but she's not pretending.
The moment I started watching no filter tutorials, I started to accept a lot of my flaws. Human faces have texture and that's okay. Also, I would respect more MUAs and influencers who do this if they were honest.
Haha. I caught the filter you put in the video! đ 10:48 (I know it was done on purpose, Iâm just surprised I donât see any comments about it yet).
Lol thought Iâm the only one who caught it
I was looking for this comment! Lol
@@Mama.Gemini same
Haha I saw that. đ
Even I saw
I have to disagree with the not blaming the influencers They are selling us products constantly so All of them should be held responsible when using these filters, They are setting standards for skin/body and know it. I think they should have to disclose that they are using filters
Beauty influencers should be required to disclose the use of filters.
Exactly
That moment when you edit your comment to add what other people commented so you can get more likes.
@@almag0410 The moment you say something Stupid or Rude and Hope to get A Like
@@katieh5604 that moment when you donât even care about likes and you get likes anyway
Being informed is the best thing we can do as consumers!
It really is. Informed, skeptical, and to realise most of what we see online is a fantasy supposed to sell us something.
What if even the best we can do is not enough? This is my fear
@@littleblackpistol yes youâre right
but the problem is that the majority of people still believe in everything they see in the internetâŠand itâs harmful
I always suspected that big CZcamsrs like Nikki and Jeffrey Star used filters on their videos but I thought I was wrong because nobody seemed to talk about it. Thank you so much for addressing this problem.
I love how real Cassandra is. Itâs so refreshing to watch a channel thatâs real and honest and not fake
The fact that the Kar/Jen people have convinced us that it's beautyful to look like a bratz doll and this has become the beauty standart of the time is just... We're going to look back at this in 20 years and be like 'we looked crazy'
I don't think... In 20 years people will get crazier and more hungrier of surgeries...
Deep face is really Hella terrifying
As someone who has had people trying to take my pictures without my consent during my middle schools years and even uploading some of them online on their blog (as crazy as it sounds it did happen and I'm not even an influencer/celeb) I am legit terrified of people using my face without my consent
** it's "deepFAKE"
Wow, thats terrifying! People really wish to be like you then âș
Exactly, it looks so real and itâs so dangerous
Same!
Thank you Cassandra, for being an honest person in a world of liesâŠ
Thank you for telling it like it really is. Iâm 59 and through the years my face has betrayed me many times. When I have a lot of stress it shows up on my face. Not my butt or my legs or somewhere else you canât see no right on my face! Nothing helped so I just hid inside until makeup was able to hide most of it or it went away. I found you on CZcams by doing a search on of course how to get rid of acne and I just love the way you bare it all and so honest about your struggles. More of these âcelebrities â need to come off their high horse and be honest with their fans. They would gain such a following that people would respect them a thousand times over. Keep doing what youâre doing itâs so refreshing to finally see and hear honesty in all its glory! đâ€ïžđčđđ€đ
I'm so glad that I was taught at a young age that what I saw in magazines and on tv was fake. Now I worry about the younger generation due to them growing up in the era of social media and filters. Wish some celebrities and influencers could ban together especially women and start the #NoFilter movement to break the unrealistic societal standards of what beauty is.
That's so pretty cool. People lives as if they never seen humans around them.
What scares me the most is that I may not be able to sufficiently educate my 10 yr old about this crap and the knowledge buffer to her self esteem that I'm trying to help her build will not be thick enough.
My oldest, 28, came up right as social media was hitting a stride and it was tough then... This is next level skynet status stuff
My daughter is 12 and I'm trying, too. It's really hard! Because even though I had her young, she still thinks I don't know what I'm talking about.
@@jennifers1040 that was my oldest & me. Thinking your parents don't know & don't get it is part of being a kid & growing up.
Yeah, I am also worried for my kids :((
My 23 year old daughter has the most realistic body image and self esteem. She has taught me a thing or two. Your body is designed to be healthy and as long as you feel good, it's doing what it's supposed to. Don't underestimate their ability to distinguish fake from real. I grew up in the era of the supermodel 80's/90's when these things weren't discussed at all. They're better off now.
Don't use your phone too much. Children copies parents. Less phone less exposure.
I do freelance Bridal makeup and had a client and her friend who was also getting makeup done ask me why she could âstill see her skins texture and poresâ and ask if I put on a primer.. I said yes I did and itâs Skin..?! To me I didnât understand why and seem confused about what she was asking. The girl then pulled up the picture of the look she wanted and pointed to it saying.. âher skin looks flawless, I want that..!â I kinda laughed and said After Zooming in on the photo-âShe has No Pores and it probably has 2 filters on it.. thatâs not what makeup looks like on Skin with pores and texture..â đ€đ€đŹđ€Šđ»ââïžđ€·đ»ââïžđ€·đ»ââïž
Love that your sharing this information about Filter and how many Fake images are out there on the internet ! Crazy!
social media filters and photo editing made me hate my skin texture even when it's normal. This channel makes me feel confident again thank you so much Cassandra
you are the only skinfluencer for me who goes in front of the camera without full glam when she wants to and it is really really EMPOWERING. thanks for trying to change this fake world in the social media by always telling&showing the truth đŠ
Her and dr dray
She is so awesome
Cassandra is beautiful inside and out she doesn't need filters
I agree
When I was just getting into makeup I was completely fooled by these filters. I was always so confused and upset when I followed recommendations for different products and the foundation didn't give me that "airbrush" look. Which is ironic because that's literally what that was! Thanks for sharing! I would be interested to see a side by side of you using a skin filter and your normal video lighting etc.đ
Coz they selling lies...đ
I love that you're not using a filter and we can see your natural skin. I noticed it as soon as I saw the video. It's really good to let people see what real skin looks like so I really appreciate it. You can still be beautiful without having ridiculously smooth, all around the same colour, wrinkleless skin, like most of us have. I think you have proved that.
The un-edited versions of yourself is who you are in life. Unfiltered and totally beautiful Just the way you were made.
I watched Bernadette Bannerâs video on the history of retouching which basically points out that human beings can never be trusted to make a realistic portrait of themselves because no royal duke would ever have a painting of themself made without creative liberties to mask their acne
I just commented about how this video pairs so well with Bernadetteâs! It really goes to show, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
And I hinted at her video (waist retouching) in my comment!
Good point !
Haha! Roman era's Caligula the Psycho did that, his effigies always made him look hot - but history said he is actually hairy and insecure.
That was an amazingly revealing video! Made me look at all the family photos with a closer eye...đź
As a child/teenager I was so obsessed with how people look in magazines, thinking I need to look like that to be worthy. I had no idea they touch up every single hair, pore or whatever and slim the celebrities. It took me so long to realize that no one looks like this. Honestly I am glad I am not a teenager anymore with all the tiktok and Instagram filters going on. Even worse then, that adults with access to all these amazing products and procedures still use them to turn themselves into a "perfect" version
Thank you for this. Im an Esthetician/Makeup Artist and I have to explain this to clients constantly. I wish filters would go away and we could just accept our flaws as perfection.
Wow thank you so much for bringing stuff like this to light. These kinds of videos are so important as the technology gets better. Keep us posted and keep them coming!
I'm an artist. I have drawn portraits and people in general for years and I almost always can tell if something is photoshopped, filtered etc.(yes, the deepfakes still have flaws too). What I see on social media makes me sad. I can't imagine the amount of people who can't see those filters and get insecure.
As an artist myself, I also learned over time that for me personally, flawless faces with model poses and perfect skin just don't bring me the joy or excitement of drawing them. The real challenge is to catch the small imperfections and silly faces, wrinkles and hairs, pimples and ditches and scars and so on. This is what makes portraits alive and this also helped me a bit to appreciate the different looks ppl have and to get myself away from that filter perfection standards. I love drawing old ppl, screaming ones, imperfect ones, like people, normal people :)
@@pinkbluepanter2374 Yes! I tell people this all the time- the best gift an art degree gave me was to appreciate every kind of age, body, gender expression etc... and that the most beautiful portraits never came from the most "conventionally attractive" person sitting for the session. It was always a face that had time etched into and distinctive features.
I asked my friend's 13 yr old niece what her favorite tree and flower were and then asked "do you wish the flower looked like the tree" and she said of course not trees and flowers are different- "Is the flower less beautiful because the tree exists" she replies no that's silly. So I followed with "so do you really wish you looked like that tiktok person - do you wish your best friend Emily looked like her?" and she had an Aha of- No my friend emily is really pretty in her own way and I said so are you. I really wish figure drawing was mandatory for young people to help w/perspective.
Are you telling me that people actually have some hd quality zoom cameras? The one built in my semi-new computer blurs me out fine as is, it actually decreased my insecurities đ
Pro tip: if your camera is higher quality, put your finger on it a couple of times, it will get blurred lol, helps me when I don't want someone to see me in detail for some reason xD
The way I look in zoom is basically the đ emoji but in lower res
Yeah my laptop blurs out my eyebrows
@@rebeccajones9757 Yeah that's the downside of it, I have to fill in my brows before zoom so it doesn't look like I don't have them đ
I have been a subscriber for a long time to your channel Cassandra, and I must admit that you are one of the kindest pure hearted people on this platform â€
I just started listening to you, and you actually saved my self-esteem, not only that but you are just a wonderful human being and I love everything you do.. And I hate to admit that i would constantly compare myself, and wonder how all these celebrities or just any type of human being on the internet would have the cleanest skin. This video helped me so much because on top of having issues with âloving myselfâ Iâm so behind on what the internet is doing because Iâm not hip to technology too much, so a lot of this was a huge shock, but also so life changing. Thank you again for what you do. I needed this. And I wish I could give you a gift.
The deep fakes are horrifying
Iâm glad Iâve kept my face off the internet entirely
It honestly sucks all the joy out of following someone's content when they post all their content with filters or super powerful lighting. I wanna see what they see otherwise what are they influencing me to buy? Crap that only looks good in professional equipment and filters?
Thank you so much for exposing this⊠I, too, always used to think why does my make up look so different than expected even after my skin clears up and I did it step by step according to the tutorial
This is why I love your channel: you are honest. Thanks for pointing out these allusions.
I have had such a difficult journey towards loving and accepting myself. These kind of filters made it so much harder. Especially with snapchat and such. I don't necessarily like how I look with the alterations the filters make but it hurts that that is how society thinks I should be.
Me too! I use to model and had to quite because I felt so ugly and off because I would see people online and think that's not me! I also have bdd (for almost 10 years) and it makes it hard to be online.
@@jennifers1040 I wish both of us never had to go through that kind of pain. Unfortunately, we can only do so much against those toxic beauty standards in today's world and even then, we can't protect ourselves from the mental impact it may have. I just want to let you know that you are gorgeous and remember to keep your head high because you are stunning
Omg đ€Ż and here I was thinking for the past 6 years that Jeffree Star had the most amazing skin on the planet đź
With all these tattoos...botox...fillers? đš no way...
I died when she put a filter on her face at 10:47 đđ I dont know if that was an accident or if sheâs making a joke HAHAAAA
I grew up really after all of this craziness, I am an old head and proud to say that this is about narcissism. So much time and energy just to look good and now we have a serious problem with suicide among our youth. I will tell you, this is about making the money and conning people to do so. I am glad that they are people who address this because this will probably save a life. Kudos to Cassandra in addressing her own insecurities in her past and present and being brave enough to buck what is popular.
I thought this subject is spot on. I sent it to one of my granddaughters who recently became a teenager, and I hope she really thinks about what you said and presented. I (when a teen) got sucked into believing women had to have perfect bodies, faces, etc., to have worth, and it took time to unbelieve this B.S. Wish you had a clone back then!
I grew up in the 90âs and I remember the big billboards with ads with Cindy Crawford. I remember that even though that was when someone astute told me about photo retouching, what airbrushing was about, I still looked up at that perfect woman and thought to myself: sheâs absolutely gorgeous and I couldnât ever look like that. Iâve struggled with eating disorders pretty much all my life. And even if there are many forces at work when you have an eating disorder, the images that weâre fed every day do have an effect and body images are distorted. I also have BDD - body dysmorphia (body image disorder) as one of my more âintrusiveâ symptoms. Even when my eating disorders are better, like a more healthy BMI, my body image still plays cruel tricks on me.
iâm sorry you had to go through that. I have even seen people online who have social media accounts dedicated to pictures of these photoshopped models, which feed into the negative thoughts about ones body. When i was at my lowest, it was like i was chasing an image that isnât real, but i thought i was so close to getting there. This online filter and photoshop culture feeds into peopleâs insecurities and ED struggles.
@@leebear387 đ I wish you recovery from the EDs. đŠđ
this world is crazy, right? and tbh cindy crawford wasn't all that pretty.
Thank you so much for being a real, genuine person who cares for others & educating us about filters. This is going to help so many of us to stop comparing ourselves to something that isnât real, & to beware of the dangers on the internet with impersonation filters. Stay safe young people!
I knew about photoshop, and Snapchat filters⊠had no idea about filters on CZcams! Blown away
Even when you're pointing it out I still can't see most of the filters on the beauty creators đ”âđ«
Yeah, I only recently were able to start recognising them, it's as if for the longest time my eyes just couldn't calibrate properly and know what I am looking at.
One of my favorites, I can't even watch half her videos because her face is so blurred it freaks me out. Makes me think my eyesight is even worse than it is. When the video comes on, & her face & hair are blurry as hell, I switch off immediately. I find it very frustrating. "Can you figure out what's going on here Algorithm? Didn't think so!" đ
You know the moment I heard of deep face I thought of people editing the faces of the actors in adult movies and sex tapes to the person they have a crush on which is creepy and I don't think people are above doing this
This is exactly what I thought too!
Same here!! We are not safe, especially, women.
I love your content! Going from being a bullied teen for skin issues to becoming a doctor, I can relate to everything you say while also learning so much! Thanku!
I adore you Cassandra. Thank you for keeping it real for all of us.
I used to hate myself still do kinda cuz my skin isnât perfect I know itâs fake but itâs hard when u see itâs perfect all the time u kinda sometimes believe the fake is true đŁ
There are people who have perfect skin, lots. Though, we can't all be perfect.
@@chaoswitch1974 Have you seen models with no makeup on? No one is actually perfect it's just a conspiracy by companies to make everyone feel shit so they force you to buy makeup, clothes, hair products, skin lightening, tanning. Nothing is ever perfect enough. And the ones with a perfect body have an ED. I can't believe as a teen I spent so much time being upset over my body only to realise a model who I thought was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON EVER was dying of an eating disorder and drugs. Thankfully she is healthier now, but her photos did a lot of damage to my growing brain.
@@lauren8627 I have seen actual ppl who looks that good in real who looks like they have clear and over all pretty
@@lauren8627 who's model?
This is one of my favorite videos that Cassandra has ever done! I am so glad that she speaks up about this when nobody else will. This information needs to be known so we stop comparing ourselves to others. Thank you Cassandra!
Thank you for this, I wish more people would realise this madness. Beauty standards are just impossible to keep up with. I hate that children are now obsessing over makeup, selfies, bodies.. when I was 12 I used to care about who was coming out to play tag, football, mums and dads oh lord :(( x appreciated this video x
I love how REAL she is!! â„ïž
Since I started watching you I really leaned more about my skin, you taught me how to listen to what my skin needs and what can I do to help it, my breakouts are now in control and now I know how to deal with them.
And oh my god, my weekly exfoliation routine has literally no words to describe how thankful I am to you! âš
Keep up embracing your genuine spirit and raise skin awareness, love you! đđ
Omg, I knew that there is plenty of photoshop around me but filters changing skin texture in the videos is just highly inappropriate from people who presenting not only make up but skin care aswell. In my opinion at this very moment is just laying.
Thank you for educating us. Love you
Hi Cassandra! As a fellow Aesthetician, (21 1/2 years), I really have to commend you for doing these videos to help clarify the truth about these influencers & filters. I appreciate your professional integrity.

Thank you for doing this for our young girls - and our grown women! They need to see this so that they realize not everything is real. Many blessings for you doing this!!
I love that u bring the discussion to the table, specially when u say u hope skin texture starts to be more normalized.
Thank you Cassandra đđ because of you I now know that the skin I have right now is totally normal and there is nothing to be bothered about. I also slowly get my mental health back to normal when I started accepting the fact that this is really me. I always watch and admire your videos . Love youđ
Like seriously..Cassandra you are effortlessly helping me a lot by making these amazing vdos which keep me away from feeling insecure about my apperance đ
Thank you for the great information, weâre honestly living in a sick world and Iâm glad that some people like you are showing the truth and talking about it
You are such a good communicator with strong core values. Quite inspiring. Not only do we learn from your content but also from your values
The mannerisms on the (edit: impersonator with the) Tom Cruise deepfake are so....... Tom Cruise-y lmao
I'm pretty sure the deepfake tech takes care of the face, but the actor still has to mimic Cruise's voice and mannerisms, and he does it impressively well.
He actually is a Tom Cruise impersonator
@@2012theladybug yeah omfg I meant the actor with the deepfake face. Like they're so good at the impersonating hahaha
@@nelle5339 yeah ofc they're the one acting, I meant that the impersonator was rly good
subscribed. love what you're doing here Cassandra, you are saving girl and women's self-esteem's and showing them that comparing themselves to ppl on social media is futile and harmful bc it's all fake and unrealistic beauty standards
I just want to hug this girl. Her honesty is refreshing. đ
Well this was eye-opening! Thank you so much for keeping us informed!
"I understand [Jeffree Starr's] formulas are great, but are you selling makeup or are you selling a filter that we can't achieve?" Most of us don't need to achieve the not-a-r@cist-piece-of-sh*t filter because we can do that on our own with no tutorial needed.
Was just recommended your video. So glad it was! Love your knowledge, openness, communication skills, and personality! Thank you for putting your knowledge out there!
I SO love to see people's real skin and features, unedited, just themselves--it's beautiful to see the real person and TRULY refreshing!! I read that every youtube vlogger/influencer uses a camera that has at least SOME type of filter, even if very minor. It even looks like Cassandra has a bit of a filter here in this video. Ever so slight, but it's like you can see very subtle blurs on the face here and there. Just me?
i know how i feel about itâŠi despise it. i despise the beauty standard and i despise the influencers and celebs perpetuating it and selling products whilst using filters. i do blame them, they know full well what theyâre doing, they just donât caređ€·đ»ââïž
Thank you. I am always wondering why I never ever have an airbrushed look even when I get my makeup professionally done.
Once of again Cassandra has done it again! Amazing!! I love her realness!
Yess! This has been bothering me for so long. And I love watching your video's and seeing your actual (beautiful) face, instead of those blurred out looks we see everywhere nowadays!
Deep fake is the most terrifying than regular filter. I'm a kpop fans and Deep fake become very serious issue cuz there are irresponsible people who edited Kpop Star face into a p*rn video and the victims are the female idols. This is disgusting!
it's indeed worrisome and can bring identity theft to a whole another level..I wouldn't be surprised at some point a law is been made that forbids to impersonate someone else in any means
Transparency queen đđŒ love ya Cassandra! Thank you for making this video!
Love how you are true to yourself
Regardless of knowing this, it's still affecting people with body image... I hate filtering my skin but I still feel pressured to do so! It's really sad đ„
I am truly shocked. I mean I knew they edit but this is really simply dishonest and shocking. Thanks so much for making this video
Oh my gosh so shocking! I am beyond shocked. Thanks for exposing these. I honestly canât even tell any filter for Nikki if you didnât tell us!
I think that influencers like you are becoming more popular, helping more people realize celebrities are not what they seemâŠitâs just sad because kids and teenagers are so influenced by social media that Iâm not sure how this cycle will stop..just keep putting your beautiful content out there! Thank you
My brother came into the room while I was watching nikki and he immediately went "ewww, what wrong with her chin. The filter is awful". I don't know why he is so good at spotting that, I didn't notice đ
This video is so necessary. Thanks for making it.
The Tom Cruise one was literally scary.
Right? He even has Tom's mimics...
You have no idea how great it feels when someone tells you most things you've been hating about yourself are part of being a totally normal human being with average skin. I was having an awful week and this just made me feel so much better. You are very funny and naturally charming. Loved the video
It's really sad that people
"want" to be deceived
I just found your channel about a month ago as I was researching serums and creams that might be helpful for my aging skin. I first saw the natural skin face that you show in your recent videos. Until I looked into some older videos you reference periodically. I love that you look so much better to me with natural skin and less makeup. I love that you keep it real. And I love solid, scientific information. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a crazy cat lady, business owner and athlete. #unfiltered
and people wonder why I have trust issues
FOR REAL! Your words are like MEDICINE! Thank you for keeping yourself and your videos so damn real and authentic!
Wow. Thank you so much for this information. I was unaware of how serious all this was.
I notice since TikTok, blur filters have became a huge thing. Even now, most of the popular and viral TikToks always contain them. ALSO Hyram 100% uses the blur filter on his videos and you always catch his necklace chain glitching on his neck. This is where I draw the line, because its not right to promote skincare, including his own brand, using blur filters on their videos.
He was using filters in all of his brand videos, too. Very disappointed that so few people are willing to call Hyram out when he's potentially causing a lot of harm to people's self esteem
@@sunscreenhoarder6558 very true
His stans have 100% drank the koolaid. Itâs actually kind of scary in his comments on his videos. They treat him like heâs the second coming of Christ. Thatâs not healthy either.
I always wonder if heâs got a filter bc it seems like his skins always smoother than possible in real life
@@sunscreenhoarder6558 if you notice, his recent videos he now wears his chains on top of his shirt so you cant see it glitch. I called him out so many times on his vids and he must have took note lol
she's so confident in her own skin!!:D I love the kind of vibe she is giving and her reactions to the contour videos! Respectfully critical if that makes sense? Please have a good day:))
I just wanna say thank you, it is my first time really seeing how many filters are people like celebrities and influencers are using, i just thought there are some pro tech cameras that just make you look younger but this is a whole another level.
WooooooooW!!!!!! I don't know if to laugh hysterically or feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad for these people who must think they are absolutely pathetic looking in real life that they would resort to such extreme measures to "look good". I LOVE that you made this "expose" video Cassandra. Bravo!
