A new study shows that 20% of people see you as more attractive than you do. When you look in the mirror, all you see is your appearance. When others look at you they see something different such as personality, kindness, intelligence, and sense of humor. All these factors make up a part of a person’s overall beauty.

No, it is unlikely that people see you in a mirror exactly the same as you see yourself. your reflection in the mirror is reversed horizontally, so if you see a mole in your left side of the face, then people’ll see it on the right side of your face and so on.

According to multiple videos sharing the trick for taking selfies, holding the front camera to your face actually distorts your features and isn’t actually giving you a clear representation of how you look. Instead, if you hold your phone away from you and zoom in, you will look completely different.

Mirrors make us look thinner in face and body than we actually appear to people. But if we compare the selfie image and mirror, mirror is more accurate because selfie picture differes with phones and app you use to take selfie.

If a mirror is tiltied upwards, it’ll lengthen you. Lighting can completely change how you look. It’ll change your face structure’s appearance and your skin/hair/eye color to make it look different and healthy and soft or pale and uneven.

“A completely flat mirror will show an image behind it of exactly the same shape and size as the actual object,” he told Apartment Therapy. “Slight curvature along only one axis can make a person look fat or skinny. That means a thick mirror, or one which is wall-mounted, is more likely to give a true reflection.

Mirrors in retail stores are often designed to give the illusion you are thinner than you really are ,it’s to make clothes look better on you and helps sell clothes. A lot of mirrors are like that even mirrors for the home, the closer you get the thinner you look. Just an optical illusion.

I suppose it’s because the side mirrors make objects look further away—they work like wide-angle lenses. These deform the image to a certain extent. The same thing happens when you use a cell phone to take selfies. That’s why I never take selfies; they warp your image and make you look ugly.

People tend to look the best when illuminated by light bulbs that measure around 2700 kelvins. Most bulbs, whether incandescent, LED, compact fluorescent or halogen, are labeled “soft white/warm white” (2,700-3,000 kelvins), “bright white/cool white” (3,500-4,100 kelvins) or “daylight” (5,000-6,500 kelvins).

In the bright light of a camera flash, it’s a sad fact that wrinkles and fine lines can be magnified, making you appear older than you actually are. This is where injectables like Botox come into play.

So in shadowy lighting, as in photos 1-8, you’re at the mercy of however the light lands as to how your face will look. Shadows and bright spots landing willy nilly can exaggerate facial asymmetries, make your face look shorter or longer, change the size of your nose, and more.

Light shining directly from above or below makes the bags under your eyes stand out in shadow and highlights wrinkles such as crows feet and laughter lines. It enhances all the natural shadows on your face so that you look older than your years.

YOU think you look better in the dark because you don’t see the flaws that your own self-critique perceives. In that, you might be seeing yourself more like your friends do – for the person you are and not for the flaws you see in the mirror.

So why is that little built-in flash so bad, anyway? The reason why on camera flash looks so harsh is that the flash is on the same axis as the lens. Rarely (if ever) in our daily lives do we see people lit from directly in front. It’s unnatural, and therefore looks funny and unflattering to us.
