WHY WE LOOK BETTER IN A MIRROR THAN A PICTURE | skip2mylou

You should invent it, you'd make a lot of money!

With how technology is headed, it’s only a matter of time! Hah.

Same I'd prob be like lol this person is a weird crackhead but at least they are nice 😂🥴

Same here

I act stupid while trying to be funny (I don't even know what I'm trying to be actually). I identify myself as nice, because other people told me I am, and I'm told that I'm funny, but I refuse to believe that. I would really like to see tho what I act like, and what other people think about me as being not me, since I can't read thaughts.

I watched another video and the conclusion was that the mirror is telling the truth. Still don't know who to believe 😂

@@user123x1 I look ugly in both, but if I had to choose I'd much prefer if I was right, too 😂

I beleive in the mirror. If you comb your hair to the right, turn around, you're still combing it to the right. Idk if it's a good example but, I don't believe our eyes can flip us.

For some, its the contrary, they are photogenics and in real life not that good looking.

@Wisewoe Tiswell 🤣🤣🤣

I hope that’s true also. I think it is because Ive seen people who are not very good looking in real life but very photogenic! And good looking in real life but not as good looking in pictures. I also hope I look better in real life 😂

Well what word would you use? “Unattractive?”

this is very inspiring

LMAO!

Same here .. No one addresses these kind of issues - was great to hear something that matters to all

Lol 😂🤣😃

maryann HT I hear ya, but I'm pretty sure I get the prize for most unphotogenic human ever. Especially if I don't know I'm being photographed. My friends look beautiful even when caught talking, then there's me, mouth wide open, double chin, expression like I'm outraged and in pain all at once. 😣

maryann HT 😆

Just Chilin yess, I think so too

Same here..pop

I mean lol..hahaha

Calm down you guys really dont look that bad.

But, sometimes it has to do with the camera too, whilst I was comparing myself in a front camera mirror to a real mirror, it is different.

Skysurfer 777 the same 😔💔

Well technically no. If she looks worse in mirrors then that means she looks better in pictures. And the pictures show what you look in real life. So she doesn't have an asymmetrical face...

@@Zain12131 exactly

Once I found out my whole face was asymmetrical this bitch had a break down 🤧✌🏼

Thank you😌

ytclick What you see in the mirror is the real you. This lady is talking crap

Haley Troxell If you get a larger mirror and a compact or makeup mirror and put it at an angle where you can see it reflected through the mirror, apparently that’s your real self. it’s like a DIY true mirror

@@isabellagarcia4754 I'm ugly at that angle😭

Rose Jasmine Ikr same my eyes look all weird and stuff but it’s just because you’re looking in that direction i’m sure you’re beautiful 🥺

it just lowered my confidence w-w

That is so true!!!

good point! self-esteem 5% higher 😅

Becky MyHearteu my whole face is a flaw...👹

I think people don’t really pay attention as much as we think they do, the fact not many see your scar just goes to show they aren’t paying that much attention to your face. I think we get hyper sensitive. My partner always thinks I’m looking and judging his eyebrows but it’s like I’m looking in that area but not even aware of it im just paying attention to what he’s talking about. It’s interesting,

yup but I still wish that all my flaws could be hidden

Honestly tho

Lol same here

Keeyah! 😍

Hahahah 😂😂😂 yeah of course

lmao my mum thinks I’m ugly af

DriftFromReality - your not though

My mom said I looked like a grandma💀 though I'm only 15 lol

NEEDED THIS

1.We dont really see in 3d,that as an overly simplified statement. 2.We see ourselves better in the mirror because we are so used to seeing ourselves in the mirror that we got used to the assymetries,and then when we see a photo of us unmirrored the assymetries are accentuated ,to us only,so pretty much how people see you normally is how you see yourself in the mirror and vice versa. 3.Camera lens angle,there aren t photogenic people,its just that the lens of the cameras that people use to take photos and selfies is telephoto and your eyes see in a wider angle thats why people might look better or worse in cameras.

I needed this so bad and I’m just gonna believe this is true

Also people forget that your eyes are way more advanced then a camera or video recorder can ever be at capturing things in motion so the likelihood that you think you look better in a mirror as apposed to a camera is probably for a reason

Eyes also see you in 3d that means the brain Will remove the imperfections!

High five ✋

I don't believe I do. I scrutinize every flaw and there are many. Do I think I'm some sort of swamp creature? No but I don't believe I'm anything remotely close to a beauty queen.

Because the mirror is lieing

@AyshaPlays :3 But when I take a selfie my nose looks normal , but when anybody else takes my pic from back camera then it's looks very crooked , so I don't know how do I look in real , most of them I asked they say that my nose is crooked , like you share your opinion with your sister

aqua fina same!!!!!!

SAME

aqua fina me 2

aqua fina that's because when you take pictures of yourself, you have control over the camera, and your posing and "fixing" your face the way you want to see it. When someone else takes the photo, you are losing that control. This applies to mirrors as well, but with a flipped image.

Saaaaame

Sandra Mendes SAME !

Sandra Mendes yup

Same

Sandra Mendes Lol😂😂.

Also mirror is flipped

Same

Lunna Locca ok thos comment didn’t give me any confidence 😭

You look amazing in the photo though

Mochii Kim thank you 🙏🏾 it’s a filter lol good ole filter here to save the day

@@lunnalocca9376 When I use filter I look horrible with it

Same loool

Lmaooo

Yeah I feel u😖

basically it's just because you're used to seeing yourself in the mirror which shows your face flipped so when you see the pictures, your eyes are not used to seeing your face flipped the other way which is why everything looks weird and extra asymmetrical. However, when other people see you, they're used to seeing your face in the same way it's shown in the pictures so it doesn't look abnormal to them like how it does to you if you get what I mean.

L R 😂😂😂 same man...SAME.

garden addict That's interesting to know!

garden addict I always think I have a big nose because of selfies, but whenever I see pictures of myself or look in the mirror I don't. It was an insecurity for a while and this helped me realize it's most likely because of the lens

Ashley Vedas aww I'm glad this helped. You'd be shocked what good and bad lighting can emphasize as well.. ill see if I can find this one really helpful instructional lighting video I saw a while back, it's intended to help you find the most flattering lighting but it opened my eyes so much

garden addict thank you :)

Thank you! I always wondered why my nose grows by seemingly 10-20 percent on a closeup picture.

Same I was filming for a video and my face looks so ugly

Thought the same, i really think that this is the reason!

It's probably just because we don't feel like it looks like us. When I see my friends in the mirror, I think they look super weird.

Marni Zavaleta, Obviously. But which is right - the camera or the mirror?

Maria B I think neither one is right. The camera isn't right because we are not moving and it catches only a split second, the miŕror isn't right because the sides are switched. So i think a video would reveal the "truth" - but people (to me) look in pictures like they do in real life, although they sometimes are caught in an unflattering way, and I think it is true that some people are more photogenic then others.

So would we like our selfies better if we flipped them to match what we see in the mirror? I mean it probably also has to do with the the fact that the camera is turning a 3D object into a 2D object so the depth, light, and shadows are different. Just changing the way shadows hit your face can completely change the appearance of your face too.

LOL

😂🤦🏾‍♀️

I did that too!!!!

Matthew Abrahams yesss

Very true. Camera has one lens with distortion. Viewing in a mirror you are looking at an image with 2 eyes giving you depth perception and no distortion, however it's a reverse image.

so how do we actually look do we actually look like what the mirror shows us 😭

@@rahma8070 yes you do look more like the mirror because phone cameras always distort your face but the mirror isn’t 100% what you look like probably 80% of the mirror is what you look like

Ryan x sAme

Yeah now go cry a river

Ryan x is that u in the pic ?

A. P. No that’s a drawing I did

I see your comments everywhere!!

Because you are used to seeing her in real life (so thats not unfamiliar to you), but for her is the opposite because she is more familiar with the mirror picture of her.

Adda Elliott THE MIRROR IS THE REAL YOUUUU

A Person Excuse me? Yes it is. I have done research and I have asked all of my doctors. You are the stupid one.

A Person Nothing was flipped for me. It’s bc of the camera lenses. My dog even looks way different in the camera then what I see her. I don’t think u want to admit cus u think u look better in the camera🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I will no longer keep responding to u cuz I’m wasting my time.

A Person SHUT UP IDC

Then you probably won't see all the tiny imperfections that you see on yourself now

You'd probably see yourself pretty attractive considering you won't see your imperfection

Gaby Rodriguez same

Gaby Rodriguez Same! I hate having pictures taken. I always feel haggy even if I thought I looked good beforehand.

Gaby Rodriguez Same here girl! I feel like I look bomb in person then I take a picture and my self esteem goes down LMAO

Gaby Rodriguez me too. Lol

Dylan Wright You’re not physically unattractive.

You do NOT look ugly in ur pic :)

No not everyone is beautiful. Actually very few are

A Rivera right, mostly people I know look better in real life than pictures and look the same in mirrors but switched

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Facts

A Rivera yep they're called filters

It's refreshing

what you mean about real spoken?

Djlullaby22 Authentic probably what was meant. Be authentic and genuine. I heard a good way to hear what you sound like to other people, is to cup your hands behind each ear. Lot of women have low self esteem and try to be people pleasers because that is how we are raised. When confidence is what is attractive to real men.

Recovering Soul, thank you ..

Yeah I totally hate taking photos because I look horrible, so I always tried avoiding it

amourlashai same

I found a way you could see yourself the way people see you, if you get a smaller mirror and put it next to another side by side. Look at yourself from the bigger mirror and you’ll notice how different you are than how you perceive yourself. It’s insane lol.

That is creepy

MaryBeth Myrick idk lol

Its like everything in life if you train you get better at it, Ppl say I look good in photos and yeah I kinda think so too I kinda have a photo face or standard pose using My good side and standard smile, Ive learned what worked as mom took a lot of pictures of us and demanded us to look at the camera, if you are used to it its more likely to succeed and act natural so you train by take lots of photos and figure out what works for you.

I think we're too hard on ourselves in pics. I can have someone say, "You look good in that picture," and I'll be like, "You need to put your glasses on because I totally disagree."

Photoshop x)

thanks for boosting my confidence

Same lol i don’t see any differences. Maybe it’s bc we aren’t picking them apart?

@@beebee9681 That sounds creepy. Idk what you were looking at, but my best friend in the mirror looks exactly the same, her face is just flipped.

Bruhhh, thats so wrong XD i've done the same and they look so much better in the mirror, bahahhahaha. I swear down u look so much fitter as well XD

Lmao!

So corny😂

Just Chilin Same, I wonder if people who have had, “out of body experiences” know what they look like.. I wish I knew what I look like. But I also don’t, I think I’m unattractive in a mirror half the time too.😭

Turn two mirrors 90 degree angle and the reflection u see, is what u look like to others

I totally agree.

Just Chilin i guess only identical twins would know the feeling of seeing their looks from.an outsiders view.

I had a out of body experience but i was laying on a hospital cot lol

mikedimples thanks for this !

mikedimples WoW really interesting! That explains why models look almost always so gorgeous in pics?

The reason models always look so gorgeous depends on the type of image. If you're talking about the models you see in advertisements in magazines, then they look gorgeous for many reasons; 1. The models are generally very attractive people (with high symmetry). Sometimes models are people who look better in photos than they look in person (due to the way their features cast shadows and highlights, and the way their features look when flattened onto a 2D plane) 2. The ads you see that use models are the result of a large team of creatives collaborating to create an image designed to be visually arresting so it'll grab attention and sell product. 3. Before the photo is taken, designers and photographers pre-visualize and plan the image (the clothes/lighting/makeup/hair/location/angle), all contribute to a cohesive polished image that elicits an emotional response from the consumer 5. The model can sit for 30 min to 2 hours (sometimes more) getting their makeup applied and hair styled by industry pros 6. The lighting is carefully planned by the photographer to create sleek, visually appealing shadow/highlight shapes, then exposes the image to capture the most attractive dynamic range for the shot. 7. The highly skilled photographer directs the model to get a pose/angle that reads well on film (the models in magazines are also skilled at knowing how to pose in a way that's flattering to their features) 8. The makeup/hair stylist are constantly monitoring the model, ready to touch up the makeup and keep the hair perfect 9. Finally the best of the hundreds of images selected by the editor/advertising executives and is given to a professional retoucher, who takes the already beautiful shadows/highlights and further sculpts them, cleans the composition of the image (making it free from any distracting details), sometimes paints in additional details like eyelashes/lip gloss highlights, color corrects and styles the color if necessary, sharpens the areas of interest, and crops the image in a way that's visually pleasing. This post processing can take upwards of ten hours for a single beauty image. 10. The image is then sent for approval, sometimes being returned to the retoucher for further adjustments. It's best to view images like high end makeup and clothes advertisements as works of art instead of photos of a person. They're collaborative efforts by many of the top artists of their field. Hybrid paintings. If you're talking about pictures of models that you'd see on instagram, those are more due to the natural beauty/symmetry of the model and her skill in knowing how to pose with flattering lighting so the final image is pleasing when viewed on a 2D plane. (also most instagram models retouch their images) If you see a snapshot of a model, like taken by paparazzi, then you can count that the model looks much more beautiful in the mirror that she appears in the candid shot. Hope that answers your question lol. Fuck I'm wordy

If you watch America's Next top model, you will be amazed at how different the models look in "real life" and in the beauty shots. It's crazy. Before pic=pretty girl, After pic=gorgeous girl

mikedimples wow....awesome. makes me feel better being as I HATE seeing a picture of myself!!

SHOOK ETH yeah I wish..

It is the lighting

❤️ I dearly hope the mirror is most truthful! I need it to be! 😭❤️
