Gigi, step away from the facetune. 

Yes!! Those unedited photos were beautiful. 😭😭 Imagine what that must do to one’s mental health…I’d be like, *I* *don’t* *look* *like* * that* To those not editing their own photos, and even those who do(?), it must be dysphoric?!

My thoughts exactly. I’ve never seen a bad picture of her , maybe bad in her eyes , but not for anyone else.

She's gorgeous and it's clear they're trying to make her look younger with the facetune. Really unfortunate.

@@Sarah-xw2ff Yes because women aren't allowed to age in this day and age.

She’s really not pretty. She has a pretty mom and a rich dad.

yeah everyone looks the same with the filters..

No one wants to look like a human lol it’s all these alien huge eyed huge lipped silky smooth skin beings lol

And like alien clowns

Oh but they do look unique because nobody actually looks like the clones lmao

Come on, look closer, she has quite the downfall on the beauty field...

She's 28 now I think. But I don't think she's competing. She has so many connections that she'll be a staple of the runway/editorial for a long time. I doubt she's too worried. But she'll probably get the normal maintenance nips and tucks soon.

And 26 ain't old it is so young😅

she's still very young, and one of the prettiest celebrities, girl stahp the facetune 😅

​@amira34 you're right but in the modeling world they want ppl from 16-21 anyone older is considered too old

the way the people won’t understand the difference between “old” and “old for the industry”

Couldn't agree more!!!! I like living in reality with 'real' people 😊

Isn't RU-vid also social media?

Yup. Alot of people complaining about a lot of things when all we have to do is step away from our phones and get off all these apps :/ seems so simple

I feel a lot better getting off Ig and all that other crap and just be mindful about what I consume on RU-vid

I don't think that's unpopular! Most people aren't clear headed enough, or aren't strong enough willed to do so. It's beautiful here in the real world ❤

Totally agree. But I think it’s mostly on digital media. Like we don’t expect people to look like that irl. edited pictures get more likes and engagement on social media. That’s just how it is. we love seeing the perfect version of things in this altered reality on our tiny screens. Obviously when you look like a completely different person, that’s taking it too far.

It's a fear of aging that's the problem. Appearance has always been important in society. Cleanliness and looking put together before leaving your home was common place once upon a time.

1000% agree

It's even happening to everyday people. I've seen people I know on social media that look completely different in real life because of filters & editing

Exactly. When I was growing up I always kept hearing "Everyone has flaws and if you got the money to fix it do you girl." But I NEVER saw anything about myself as flaws. Yes I make mistakes but the way I look and how I am is not a flaw. I love the way I look at every stage of my life. Idc what people say I will always promote and encourage love yourself as you physically are and take good care of yourself. I told an older woman I'm her 70s she was beautiful at a wedding celebration the other day. And she was shocked I said it. It was so sad because she really was.

I can't imagine how Bella feels. She was never considered important in her mom's eyes until she got all that stuff done and became another stick skinny model...

Stephanie's video that showed Bella's "old face" really made me tear up and finally Get It. Her old face had features just like mine at that time of our lives. Many features that I've retained because duh. It made me finally understand that "beauty" is really just access to the materials and wealth of Mommy and Daddy. 🙃

Wow tell her I said thank you so much! 😃❤️

You are beautiful Stephanie!!!!

Mums are the best ones to get compliments from! ❤❤❤❤always genuine ❤❤❤❤

She sure is ❤

That's literally how I started watching stephanie's videos😂 I saw her and I was like shes pretty I wonder what shes talking about and jus clicked and loved her accent too

My mom calls herself fat on a daily basis even though her heaviest is around 125 lbs. It 100% has had a negative effect on me and my own self image! I’m glad to hear you’re doing the work to try and break the cycle. I hope I can do the same❤️

@@Cayliente your mother isn't allowed to have insecurities?

@@canesugar911 There’s a difference between having insecurities and putting those insecurities onto others.

@@Cayliente you're already breaking the cycle just by understanding how your mom's words impacted you and how yours will impact your children. I don't know if we'll ever be completely secure in our appearances. But changing the way we discuss and project those insecurities will certainly improve the way we critique ourselves and in turn the way our children critique themselves ❤ Thanks for sharing!

@@bkk1996 You’re so sweet! Thank you for sharing!!!

So true

Agreed, and your comment made me think of the Khloe K kerfluffle a few years back. The lengths they went to have that photo removed EVERYWHERE. I can't imagine being so insecure, it's tragic really.

Exactly

its just that narcissist people are hard to live with and she is her mom

That woman is so toxic and unbearable.

@@norah4892 she surely is

Yes she is

When I saw her telling her to eat 4 almonds I wanted to pass out .. or breaking the small piece of cake in pieces for her b day . If u work out like they do trust me u can have a real piece of cake ! Won’t kill u . Toxic indeed.

I swear that trend needs to go😂

True.

Her chubby cheeks are the most beautiful

@@norah4892trust me its only the beginning

She looks so youth with that face for real. Hope she will never do that.

She also has hypothyroidism, one of the symptoms are swollen aka "moon face". It absolutely destroys one's esteem

I have hypo as well. I feel for her

​@@user-nv6ho9lk4uI had that problem when I was struggling with hypothyroidism and it was TERRIBLE, I had chipmunk cheeks, my face has changed completely now.

@user-nv6ho9lk4u True

@@user-nv6ho9lk4ueven with that she looks great though

Rightt!! Like we've made beauty inseparable from youth. As a woman gets older she stops being beautiful and starts being beautiful for her age or a lot of things other than just plain beautiful. She probably also doesn't have full control over her social media so rather than say don't edit her team will say edit some more. I think she looked better in her more natural photos though. She looked good before, she looks good now and if she takes care of herself she'll look good 10, 20, 30 years from now.

She's aging quicker than normal? I don't see it

​@@dejah2553you don't have those little, little wrinkles at 26, she ages faster than her peers. Except if ppl age fast In your area.

I second this

Are the changes permanent or can they go back? I'm scared tbh

@@me-zb7qm everyone is different. Some people’s face changes permanently while others doesn’t. Many women also get health conditions during/after pregnancy so that also makes a big impact.

Thats why you should go to the gym while pregnant and eat healthy

@me-zb Why would you want to go back? You're a mother, not a girl anymore. If you want to stay a girl, then easy, don't have children.

Buuuut there's still a difference between an unflatting photo, bad lighting, someone not smiling, vs photoshop...........

I agree! We don't know what she looks like in person!

Exactly!

Yeah I feel like that was left out and should’ve been mentioned. An IG photo vs paparazzi or redcarpet photos are so different. IG pics are controlled and lit well while the others are outside and taken by someone else

Lighting definitely helps but I don’t think it takes away dimples or the natural lines around your mouth.

@@tameikatoorie3634 it can absolutely make your lines dissapear

Right!…if Steph didn’t have great lighting, would she even make THIS video??….her skin looks flawless on here Bc she set her cam to the right angle, and made the lighting this way. I’m sure she has wrinkles and creases too but she hides them to make herself look better on camera.

Hey, just wanted to say that I'm in the same boat. 36 as well and started obsessing over aging at about 27. I am trying to accept it but I haven't found the recipe yet. Let me know if you do :D

@@Orisiya so far I got a new puppy and the distraction of taking care of it helped me get my mind off of my age but yeah... Is hard to look in the mirror at times

What most ppl do NOT get is how the evil globalists who run the world (the "powers that be" that really shouldn't be!) are in charge of all the AI systems that create filters like this and they are the ones who orchestrate, manipulate and market these products. Then, they stage the trends by using celebs as 'useful idiots'/ shills, etc., to endorse them and then obligate the public masses to fall for these dehumanizing hipster trends through the celeb usage & endorsements. It's a shame that models this young and gorgeous play along w/ this trendy BS. I think the video creator (Stephanie L) has good points about how Gigi is surprising her b/c of how she is one of those rare models that comes across more down to earth, etc...so why would she do this?, etc...but I think what she was trying to say that she didn't quite articulate is how Gigi is falling for hipster culture and how this, in and of itself, is the actual problem that needs to be further examined b/c this issue is NOT just a beauty standard issue - it's a political, religious, cultural issue all across the board that covers many subjects that affect our lives. And ppl we consider cool, approachable and humble SHOULD DEF. NOT be hipsters - hence our shock in Gigi falling for this nonsense. It's good to be 'hip' but not a 'hipster'. There is a diff in these two things and most ppl are binary thinkers who can't understand how to reconcile duality concepts like this and they fall for false dichotomies w/out nuance so the blind leads the blind. Hipsters are 'tragically hip' and fall into this hyper fad/unrealistic trend of being super super perfect and that kind of perfectionism is not only SUPER UNHEALTHY but it is a twisted way of normalizing this trend into a celebration of the fake human and this fakery is so so dehumanizing to the point of making future generations fall for much worse. Humans are def. being encouraged to be less real, and are being REPLACED by machines and robots and this is a huge step in that slippery slope that is being shaped and molded right now before our very eyes - as this technocracy is 'hidden in plain sight'. However, most ppl are deeply naive and deeply insecure w/ huge egos and don't care and like Stephanie said, 'they praise her filtered pics' instead of calling out the fakery. These are the enabling hipsters who want to be super hip as well as they are what I will call 'hipster adjacent' b/c they want what Gigi has - fake or not. Let's also be clear - this is not the same thing as cosmetically enhancing yourself w/ make-up or surgery/ procedures which is not a bad thing if done right for right reasons. These are tech filters - very diff animal! The blind fans are even worse than the celebs. This is called ENABLING folks. Stop fawning after and buying into this crap and STOP enabling narcissistic globalists who wish to turn us into robots who later on, will not have enough humanity to say no to all this evil and will just fall to their knees and worship this beastly system of fraudulence and deception to this degree. In the next 20-40 yrs, we won't recognize ourselves very much at all if this bullshit keeps trending! Come on people - STOP. BEING. HIPSTERS.....................!

Please..

She narrows he4 face and makes her lips fuller too.

Plus, just having the right lighting & angle can do WONDERS to wash out or accentuate various features or flaws. I know I can take a picture in 2 totally different light sources or change the distance by a few inches & look like 2 completely different ppl without any filters or makeup. One reason why I loathe taking selfies myself.

No they are most definitely enhanced quite a bit and she does not need it.

Still uses photoshop....

😢 I feel this way, too

Stephanie addressed your concern in her newest video.

I totally agree with your comment!

She’s a massive hypocrite, I unsubscribed to her a long time ago

@@Pink_pr1ncess LOL then why are you here?

Still a difference though, between photoshop and makeup.

@@VictoriaLehrbecause her videos are always recommended to me

No, there is no filter on my camera. It is a canon 70D. As far as I know it doesn’t have a filter option even.

@@stephanielange Do you use BeautyBox? There are many editing programs as well that blur the skin and help with lighting. If you zoom in on your videos there is clearly blurring and filtering. This is the case when the video is at its highest definition. Lighting can help with this, and, in that case lighting is basically acting as a filter to hide (blow out) any acne or lines etc. Your videos are not showing your true appearance either. So you are profiting off of exposing people for doing exactly what you are doing. If you want to do this in the true sentiment of what you claim (honest beauty standards) make the videos as you truly are. Don't hide yourself with lighting, filters or make-up. Isn't that what you truly want women to be able to do?

Lighting is not an issues in my eyes (I use studio lights to film as I film in my garage, which as you can imagine is dark and gloomy, heck even finance RU-vidrs film with studio lights lol, its part of making a high quality video), I wouldn't bemoan anyone for utilising good lighting in their pictures. That is not altering your image with editing software. And no, I dont use any filter on my RU-vid videos, you may zoom in again lol. My chest would be a lot smoother if I was. Also, most people profit from RU-vid, as do influencers and celebrities who edit their pictures.

You when lighting: 🤬🤬🤬

And Stephanie has AMAZING lighting, it's almost like a real life filter

@@amandanunyabusiness5027yes, she looks amazing, and we can’t see any imperfections.

Well doneee

She is filming a live video = NO FILTERS. Silly rabbit.

I truly genuinely only see makeup- I'm paused at the same place rn. You can see skin texture on her chest where she doesn't have makeup plus she's a makeup artist

@@whims6278 Yes, I see the texture on her chest but for example on her nose area it looks completely airbrushed to me (like Gigi's retouched pics) nobody have an airbrush nose, it doesnt have to be necesary a filter but a game of lights, Wayne Goss had an interesting video about it, but definitely she uses similar tricks. Not hating on Stephanie, I still find her message interesting but this video was strange to watch for me because of that. Make up doesn't make your nose look airbrushed.

I love Stephanie but I thought the exact same. 🥺

Stephanie goes over this in an older video. She uses various lighting to get the effect, along with her makeup, that you're attributing to facetoon, etc. Lighting makes a huge difference even for young, unblemished skin.

This is not tik tok or instagram, this is RU-vid. There are no filters. I film in my garage so I have studio lights, and I wear makeup, that’s it. There’s no editing going on.

This isn’t an anti makeup video though, is it?

She doesn’t make these videos to criticise others bruh Don’t you see the trend of her videos? It’s to people like you she has to keep saying she doesn’t dislike a celeb and has to constantly prove her point of making the videos It’s to educate young girls and people who are easily influenced by social media these days… And she never criticised her for using makeup

@@zquadd7703 I completely agree and I’ve seen many many of her videos which I enjoy. I’m just saying it’s easier to say those things when you yourself are extremely beautiful and basically perfect

My point she looks more beautiful herself than most of the girls she analyzes, it’s easier that way to tell them to stop photoshopping when you yourself look very pretty

But I agree with 99% things the says and watch many videos of her

So if everyone jumps off a bridge, she should too? Maybe instead, people shouldn't do what "everyone else is doing" , and be a role model and do their own thing and teach people how humans actually look. Maybe they should take a little more responsibillity and be a better role model since they're in the public eye.

@@VictoriaLehrhy should Gigi be responsible for other’s insecurities and jealousy? Maybe log off of social media and go outside instead of demanding everyone to take unflattering photos of themselves to stroke your fragile ego.

agree. plus, if we have to blame photography, let's blame make up too.

+++

Congrats. You completely missed the point.

She is educating other people about the truth of social media and standards If you have a problem stop watching Don’t just comment hate without knowing why she makes these. She’s openly shown her skin, her flaws and always talks about embracing them too You clearly have no idea

ikr there are so many pretty people around

I don’t think she looks older than her age, I think we’re so used to plastic surgery and filters that we forgot how normal people age
