That awkward moment when you don't look good in both
Yep sad life for us .
.
the ones that look better up close
Fr malnutrition messed me up 😢😢😢
I relate
Wondering why I looked hot in mirror but like a goblin in camera shots
You are just narcisstic and a women thats why
I still don’t get why the flipped/inverted image of myself is so crooked and asymmetrical! People say “oh you’re just not used to your flipped side” but there’s something more behind it… my eyes, nose, cheeks, look extremely disfigured lol
@@hungergameshub don't try that inverted image filter. That's pseudoscience!
Same
@@hungergameshub becouse the tilt you see on mirror is on the other side and when you see the flipped it kinda ”doubles” and looks extreme to you + youre not used to seeing that unmirrored image. there you go.
So the mirror is the real one, Thank god!
Yes it is
It's flipped, but otherwise yes. Everything else is how it actually looks to other people.
No unfortunately
omg thank goodness 😅
so happy now
For the longest time growing up, I absolutely hated how I looked in photos and always avoided joining in group photos with friends and family. So much regret looking back with all those captured memories and me not being in them. My self esteem was basically rock bottom as a teen
If it's any consolation, supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri hated her looks so much as a teen that she didn't have any pictures of herself as a teenager.
100% same
@@iamshadowbanned699 she's capping hard
dude same. i still have a fear of it and theres only a few photos of me in existence to this day.
I'm glad I sucked up to my insecurities and took the damn photo because y'all I wasn't about to bring attention to myself like the girlies who had to bitch and scream anxiety and not at all feeling anxious on how others around them are perceiving their bullshit again. Its 1000% embarrasing and an annoying burden for everyone to deal with, there's more to the world than how you feel, you all have main character syndrome.
You have anxiety about bringing attention to yourself yet you bring attention to yourself by noting you have anxiety everytime of every moment when there's a camera, or godforsaken a PE class 😂😂
When I was studying photography. I was told the perfect lens to get accurate face portrayal was a 50mm lens.
Thank you! Do you know what is the focal length of the phone’s cameras? Btw I LOVE your profile picture! W.I.T.C.H and the Winx Club were everything to me growing up.
@UCRIIGjwDkI24hjjyzPeC0Ng they are up to 12-28mm focal length.
@@ellobopoderososdl4596 thank you 😊
@@winxclubstellamusa woah thanks I did not know exactly where this profile pic came from. I just got it from Google because wolves are my favorite animal.
@@ellobopoderososdl4596 sorry, I thought that you were OP, lol. But I think your profile picture is really cool too 😊 wolves were my first favorite animal growing up, and I still love them.
It's not possible to be attractive in a mirror & not in real life people need to stop worrying! Yes it's a reversed image but look at someone you know in a mirror they essentially look the same to how you see them IRL, same applies to you.
That’s the thing!!! A mirror is really quite accurate, all it does is flip you, so if you look good in flipped version, I swear to god you look good un flipped too, it’s just not possible to look good flipped, but bad unflipped
Thanks Jackson, but I only look good from one specific angel 🗿
I win(even though I knew it) (but I look trash when I keep my hair really short)
There's a place in my house where two mirrors are in a way you can see your real image, like the one that is not inverted and has the same proportions. And honestly I look better in the real one than I see myself in mirrors.
You completely missed the point! Look at someone you know during a video chat with camera all up in their face and they don't look the same as if they were standing next to you staring in the mirror. There are distortions that happen as explained in the video. How they look in real life or in the mirror is different from how they'll look on your phone during a video chat or taking a selfie.
damn no wonder i look 10x better in the mirror and look horrible on camera 🗿 this is why i hate taking pictures of myself
Ikr same here!
Same here. Another thing, it's not only the proportions that are off in pictures, it's the lighting too, depending on the quality of the camera. And the frontal camera of a phone is...not great.
Same . That's why I only take videos of myself :)
Same here
Literally me 🗿

Okay I look absolutely disgusting in pictures, but I look acceptable in the mirror when I get ready. It’s given me serious photo-insecurity. To the point when I see someone taking pictures I duck out or have a bathroom emergency.
Same. I think I look ok in the mirror, but the pictures are never good. Messed my perspective up. I wonder what I look like to people, if I'm ugly after all sometimes and want to hide.
Same. I loon decent irl and on wedding pictures taken with a good camera. Other than that I look like Gollum and the Grinch had a lovechild that's me. I feel betrayed. Also it took me until 30 to realize I'm not actually ugly, just my selfie camera sucks.
I’ve heard that people with flatter faces tend to be more photogenic, whereas your standard front facing camera distorts features like angled cheekbones or jawline which are generally very attractive features in person
The pictures aren't accurate either
Uh you might need to see a therapist
This is one of those rare CZcams shorts that actually contains useful information…
I was thinking the same thing!
The disappointment of doing this trend with a wide face 😂I was expecting to look cute, instead I’m a potato
I feel you at a deep level my fellow wide face😂
A potato is way better than an egg bro 😂
@@benravenwood8535Nah I would rather be an egg
@@benravenwood8535 oval faces are more attractive than extremely wide faces imo
Shouldn’t you already know how wide your face is from the mirror?
I truly believe that a mauve larger percentage of humans are actually beautiful and would look great in films. Most of us just never get to be filmed with such high quality cameras, lenses, and oat of us ever get professionals to light the set, most of us don’t have companies and designers sending us free fancy clothes to wear. Most of us don’t have a professional editor to edit and color grade. If everyone had what famous people had, then most of us would be just as captivating on camera. And the masses would come to know our faces and see beauty in our features that they would have never noticed had we just walked by them or posted an IPhone selfie online.
That's so true
Agreed, I think a lot of "average" people have lovely facial features and would clean up nicely with the things you just said.
I wouldn't say "most of us" but I definitely would say some
fabulous comment
@@AB-he3pp a lot of us, not “some”
I look weird in selfies. This explains a lot. My nose isn't my best feature, but in selfies it looks like I need emergency plastic surgery.
Same! Now that i think about it, I never thought my nose was big my entire life until I got a front facing camera phone in like 2006 lol
Same 😅
Same, my nose looks small and pretty in the mirror, in selfies it looks bigger and unflattering on my face. Similar with my eyes, they look pretty and big in the mirror but small and boring in selfies
BRO SAMEEE
Me too!I My nose !
that's why I could ruin my day just by looking at the phone camera to see if my hairs ok and see a musty squished bean just to get home to a mirror and it turns out to be completely fine
bro it's why I don't even look in my camera anymore, i be ruining my own day 😂
Hmmm
A musty squished bean 🤣💀
😂
Finally someone said it!! Lots of videos trying to explain the difference between mirrors and phone cameras solely focus on the habit of the reverse image. While it's also true, this lens deformation thing is a much better explanation
The video is misleading. This actually has nothing to do with the lens. It's called perspective distortion and is caused by distance.
I *only* look good in selfies. Not regular pictures or mirror
Us
That doesn’t sound like that would be a thing but hey
Samee
I'm guessing you're fat and the distortion in the camera makes you look more "normal" and not like a pancake like in the mirror 💀
my face looks terrible in full body shots
That’s true. This is why dating profile experts recommend a professional picture or someone take the picture for you rather than a selfie because the selfie distorts the facial features.
That seems common sense, a selfie would seem very low effort especially if you don't have any other photos
But almost no one knows the why. Hence why so many ppl have complaints about "they didn't look like their pic". Then you have filters... They only came about to combat those lense distortions, but it's still a whole extra element of fakery. Like a smoothed distortion over another distortion.
I knew my phone's camera wasn't doing me any favors!
This may explain fifty percent of modern anxiety and depression 😂 cellphone cameras.
True
Solution: Put the damn cellphone down and actually do something constructive like build a deck.
@@joansmith7649 Are you yelling at yourself? 🤷 😂
What are you talking about? I'm not the one staring at selfies and whinning about my appearance in mirrors. I am too busy to be depressed and worrying about my nose. Of course, the under 40 crowd has nothing but time to do these things. So yeah, they are depressed because they are average looking and not all that attractive. Is this news?@@A.Rose.G
@@joansmith7649 It was just that you were on the internet, not building a deck.
Technology literally making people insecure
Also that last girl is a doll 😍🥵
Fr
Photography has existed for like 200 years 😂
omg yes...
Yeah
Well that’s a relief, I often wondered if the mirror was making me look better
So it isn't?
Wow, the girl backing up from the camera looked like 2 completely different people!
this relates to my "theory of photogeneiety". i always wondered why some people look quite like themselves on pictures while others go from a 8 in real life to a bare 5 on most pictures. my hypothetical answer was always that some people have their features structured geometrically in a way that they appear more invariant under these projection changes.
guess you are photogenic
@@marceldavis7306 im not, i look like a potato from every angle, in both pictures and in real life
@@amarug stf 6 reference
@@marceldavis7306 ahh sorry, im too old, only played stf 1 😅
This is why i always take mirror seflies. I wish i could look the same exact way in the mirror as i do in photos, it's frustrating asf.
I already have a round face and the widest bits are my cheekbones and my eyes are (I think) kind of narrow for my face. I go from feeling confident in the mirror and then pretty terrible once I see a photo. I have a couple of friends who are extremely photogenic. I’ve taken photos with them and I feel pretty bad afterwards. This video makes me feel a little better though! At 33, I know it shouldn’t matter, but it is what it is. We all have our moments where we’re not feeling as grounded in who we are and what life has given us. I’ve been pretty down on myself for a while so videos like this really helps.
Same. I'm 28, my cheekbones are wide and looking at mirrors I see an ok oval/heart shaped facial structure but in pictures I look like a freaking alien 👽. Makes me feel ugly cuz some of my friends are extremely photogenic and while I feel great having fun time with them, I spiral down and sometimes even cry when I see the pics we'd taken during the time...
I look good in the mirror but when someone takes a photo of me I look horrible. Its gotten to the point where I avoid parties or social gatherings because in this day and age, everything has to be pictured or filmed.
yes exactly, it's so annoying. Like I love capturing memories and I get taking pictures but people can't go do anything fun without shoving a camera in your face at some point, and then they go post them all over facebook or snapchat and tag me in them and then I see them and they're super unflattering and it stresses me out cause the whole time I thought I looked cute : (
Doesn’t that mean people with overly wide or proportioned faces would actually look better close up in selfie mode, since it distorts them back to a theoretical ideal standard.
yeah, i gained some weight and look like a pancake, but in selfies my face elongates and looks waaay better
yeah it does kinda make rounder/shorted faces look better (depending on what you see as better), it's also true for the opposite that people with longer faces (oval, rectangle, diamond etc) would look like a bean like the guy in the example
@@bubbletea-v4717 Not every diamond face is long. I have a diamond face shape with really wide protruding cheekbones but not proportionate facial height. It looks abysmal
@@shreypatel9379 i'm pretty sure we call that a heart face not so much a diamond face, right?
@@namak7547 Heart face shape has wide forehead. Mine doesn't. Mine has a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones coupled with a narrow jaw. So i am pretty sure it's a diamond face shape
that’s why i never take pics with the back camera
I can if its a small phone ..but if its a larger phone it gets hard to get all of my face in for some reason ..or im not centered in the photo. i tend to look best when someone else is taking the photo.
My face looks worse with back cameras
I modelled for years and was told all the time by both agencies and photographers that I photograph harshly and look far better in real life, it sucks in a way cus it means I can easily take a bad photo but I’d rather have it this way than the other way around as some people look way better in photos and I guess that can be bad for online dating situations haha. Lighting and angles are a complicated thing and some faces just compliment the lens better than others.
us chubby people with a round face don’t like this trend…
I HATE ROUND FACES SO MUCH BRO I WANNA DIE 😭
You are not alone sis
Me with my square face too 😢
I was just doing this with my dog today and she looks so cute in person but when I took a picture of her she just looked different and wasn’t as cute, so I totally agree with this .
😢
Yeah but my problem is which mirrors in my house are distorted lol
I have a distorted mirror!! It's a new mirror we bought for us and I was like "wait...I'm not this tall" and my aunt was like "wait...I'm not this thin." We felt so lied to. "Is this a prank? One of those carnival mirrors? Why are you lying to us? w h a t i s r e a l i t y ? 😭
@@pelesaudavel7655 heeeeeyy,,, one of those mirrors can help you lose weight, no joke.
If you keep seeing yourself thinner every day, your body will eventually comply. (And hopefully will stop wanting pizza n such) 🙏🏼😂
My daughter dropped about 15 lbs bc she just kept telling herself she was getting thinner bc the mirror showed that to her (she was about 15).
@@rocky1raquel our minds are full of surprises, huh? :)
I look great in the mirror, ok up close on a camera, and like an ugly egg with the zoom filter!
😂 my apologies to anyone who's ever laid eyes on me, I blame it on my parents, its essentially their fault.
Actually dont blame it on your parents bcs youre born out of your parents its your faith to born not good looking 😂
@@jonathanman8299 lol 🤣 you're right, plastic surgery exists
Yikes
@@tasha4400 learn to laugh, life's too short to be serious all the time.
This isn't lens distortion but perspective distortion.
It's both
@Jason Phan No lens distortion is a different thing, usually on very wide angle lenses that warps an image, creating a fish eye effect. This video specifically demonstrates how the distance between the subject and camera creates a different look, but this is entirely due to how closer objects will appear larger relative to further objects in a frame which doesn't change with a different different focal length lense.
@@fan8432 There is least distortion in the very center on the lens, being really close with your face is going to take up more space & be outside of the center & around the coners which distorts the image. Try taking mirror selfie then tilting your phone slighting purposely placing your head at the corner of the shot, it will elongate or widen & distort your face. Most smartphone cameras especially front facing, put wide angle lenses to fit more people in but distorts a whole lot. Girls play with this angle & distortion to get longer legs in pics & stuff. That's why smart phones are now adding tons of cameras on the back. Back then they only had one camera & went with wide angle lens for best picture in most senerios but now added larger mm lenses for those portrait shots.
@@fan8432 This video is about why you look better in the mirror looking back at yourself than looking at yourself through selfies. Like you said wide angle lenses cause distortion & most smartphone front face cameras use wide angle lense.
@Jason Phan just because a camera uses a wide angle lens doesn't mean that it has lens distortion. You can tell if it does by taking a picture of gridlines and seeing if those lines bend. On my phone, even at the widest option, it doesn't have lens distortion on the front or back camera.
Just don't flip your phone to the back camera. It makes my face more asymmetrical and I fear it's how I really look.
It just shows you the asymmetries that you have gotten used to from looking at yourself the same way
@@planckismus But which way shows how you look to other people.
@@jadesmith7983 It's not like there's a difference to other people they are just flipped and only look really different to you
@@planckismus Oh ok.
The girl in the beginning looks absolutely majestic
So you're saying I'm more handsome in real life than my phone shows.
Usually, but not always, yes. Some people might benefit from the distortion of the camera lens.
Yea youre gorgeous and i personally attest to that anyone who disagrees can fight me
When I look in the mirror, I am good looking, good facial expression but when I take a picture or camera I look like Stephen Hawking....I never understood this....This is why I never want to take a picture of myself....
because selfie cameras are bad. if you want nice pictures go to a professional photographer.
omg i cant LOL stephen hawking
Stephen hawking💀💀
Explains why I don't look good on camera lol
This explains why i hate nearly all my photos! Yet in the mirror I'm a model lol!!!😅
Nah picts or bullshit 😂
As someone with a long face, I hate that selfies make your face look even longer and your nose looks bigger. I’ve always liked photos of myself taken from more of a distance not because I think I’m busted and need to be further for that reason but that my face gets distorted otherwise. But I think some people take advantage of this and I see people with weak midfaces make use of this feature of the front facing camera to make their midface or jaw look more developed. And then you see them irl or in a tagged photo and they look so different.
doesn't matter how far away from the camera I am, still look ugly 😿
But I look different in different mirrors too
I look thin face in some and fat face in some
...
You have got me concerned now.
Some mirrors are crappy
Its because you dont really look the way u do on camera.... obviously. Filtered thru a camera lens. I mean have u ever noticed that u look different in photos taken by different cameras or camera phones? That is just how u look through that particular lens. The Mirror is how u actually look
Nope its not dont fool people..
yep! I've even noticed some will totally change the way my skin color looks. I have a warm undertone & a cool overtone. If a camera pics up my warm undertones, I look red & splotchy. In real life, I'm more on the pale side. With a decent lense & good lighting, my skin looks like porcelain & that's without any filters. It can be very confusing to the brain though.
That transitioning was so good at the end
THEY LOOK GOOD BOTH WAYS
I can only look slightly socially acceptably on phone camera shots due to the default filters. When I once had a virtual video call with a doctor over the phone, I saw myself on video and the had turned the filter off. I looked like a gargoyle. Then I learned a bit more about why we look different in mirrors vs cameras. I think there's more to it than just the distortion of your face shape and facial features.
For years i beat myself up for this. Thanks for enlightening. You’re bringing lot of our confidence to life. ❤❤❤❤

Same. Most pictures tend to capture my Gollum side.
I like how that last one gets hotter the further away she gets from the mirror.
When watch over how I much changes gotten after some photos or selfies captured turns me to be an anti self captured, until I joined a band and knows how good is memories, it makes me don't want to regret tons of moments will fades vainly. We know today camera is easily accessible just grateful for it.
Guys mirror is of course the real one. Who the hell would think cameras are?
Bro I swear I feel good af and then my front camera humbles my ass ☠️
That's correct, I'm old, so I remember playing with camera lenses, but I don't know if people look better but definitely different
Thank u. I've been telling myself that the mirror is more accurate than a camera lens but no one has ever validated that theory till today
I believe I look better in my mirror then I do in photographs.
This kinda thing saved me $10k cuz now I don’t want a nose job anymore lol
Take a picture with the back camera and flip it
How to find this filter in TikTok? The proper name?
bump
i like myself only on close-up photos. when i move away from camera, my head becomes big and features like eyes, lips, small. i’m glad many people realise that they look better irl, but i’m not one of them xdxd
Yep, a close camera emphasizes the difference in distance between your nose and the camera and your eyes and the camera. When the camera is further, the relative difference is smaller compared to the distance to the camera
Me who thinks I look better closer on selfie than in mirror or far lense
Is this why we look heavier/fatter in pictures too. These phone cameras mess with our minds
Ahhh thank you, I seriously needed this video. The other day I almost freaked out bc of a selfie I took and I just looked so weird, my face shape and my head looked so so different, that I got like "🤔🤨, do I looked like this? Why do I look different in the mirror?!?" Haha
But then I also find that in different mirrors I look different. Could you explain that as well? TYSM! Blessingssss
If you have brown eyes and really fair skin it does a weird contrast thing where your nose definition or any definition disappears like an alien or something too. Those cameras definitely alter things pretty badly.
Why I never take selfies, because I know I’m way more handsome then what the phone is showing me 😂
I'm not a selfie person so I didn't even noticed any difference, and when I do I just tend to move my camera the farthest as my arm can go
I prefer my mirror image. It’s weird though bc I look good before I take the picture but it’s awful once it’s taken 😂
So, i mean i am acutally beautiful 🗿
What if you look good in the zoomed in version lol
That’s what I’m thinking lol I think I look better in selfies
People are better looking when further away from the camera
Lol I had really severe body dysmorphia growing up, I was always asking google if you really look how you do in photos.
I look ugly but skinny on closeup and then i look kinda cute but fat in the far away pics… idk i prefer the mirror
Thank goodness I look good in the mirror. I hate taking pictures because I always look like shit.
Being zoomed in also lowers pixel quality so , we all look better that way
so all we need now is a mirror that takes screenshots 🤞🏻
Thats why I rarely do the video call, because of that thing. I dont look exactly like what I thought I would look like in the mirror. When I found out the truth, my face is actually asymetric. 😭
i still will never know how to take a good picture 💀
So which is the perfect camera lens for accurate photography?
It depends on how much of your body + background you're trying to capture. For portraits, it's 85mm+.
Okay listen Everytime I look at the mirror i feel I am pretty I am just insecure and when I take pictures oh my gawd 🦍 that’s how I look 😭
I didn’t know bout this, my mirror be making look hella pretty but I try to take pictures with my camera I look like fish, not the koi or jelly fish type but like a catfish😂, so I was giving the name at work “mirror selfie Queen” 🤣
nah bet its your own bullshit 😂 mirror selfie queen you wish will never come true, deluded “queen” indeed
Name of the filter please?
This was the excuse Mikayla peterson used to denu her plastic surgery
Yes!! I always think i look better in the mirror than in photos
So you look better the further away you are. Good to know for my more introverted days
This is why there is exactly 2 pictures of me in existence. Yes, just 2. This is exactly why I avoid taking pictures and I don't care for other people's pictures. I much prefer REALITY and MOVEMENT. Not some 2D snapshot variation of a human's existence. People have this weird automatic thought process of what a person is like based on a picture i.e. someone smiling in a picture with a group of "friends" gets people automatically thinking "Oh, they're a happy friendly person who is social and/or has lots of friends". Seriously, it's an innate response. Almost like common sense flies out the brains of people, and in that moment people seem to forget that 1. people generally tend to SMILE in posed photos, and 2. It's not difficult to stand next to people. *In reality, the "happy, social" person you see in the photo could be a depressed, depraved, antisocial people-hating maniac* 😊
real.
You can always draw yourself instead of taking a photo. Or commission someone to
Thiiiis! Humans rely far too much on photos to make decisions these days. One of the many reasons I believe online dating is nonsense.
Okay, so you can't trust cameras but can you trust the mirror?
