Gigi, step away from the facetune.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Gigi, girl - STOP EDITING YOUR INSTAGRAM PICTURES! I like Gigi Hadid, she seems really lovely and down to earth. So I was a bit disappointed when I saw her Instagram, and what appears to be a crazy amount of photo editing going on. Facetune or photoshop - whatever it is, the pictures that Gigi has been posting are not an accurate representation of what she (or any other human!) looks like in reality. WHY Gigi? Surely you know better than this! Yes, we all have the right to edit our pictures technically speaking, but is it ethical? Especially when your career is based around your looks? And you're a role model to millions of people worldwide? I personally think that editing your pictures to this extent is quite damaging to the self esteem of (not just yourself) but women everywhere. It is perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, that no one can live up to in real life, or online - except wit the use of editing tools.

    I think the problem is our entire society has been brainwashed to think that physical appearance is very important and that we all are highly flawed compared to others. Look at images of models in the 70’s and 80’s. Their faces look completely different than people look now. There were techniques even then to blur flaws and tweak photographs. But everyone didn’t look like a doll. I think with progress of technology we’ve all become too used to seeing the unreal version of public persons that we now literally all compare ourselves to something that does not exist in real life. It happens subconsciously because of what we’re seeing in media.

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.

She is competing with women and girls a decade younger than her, and I'm sure she is going to be insecure. That being said, it would definitely be cool if Gigi took a positive stand for aging, instead of erasing the natural way we all will age (sag and lines).

    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.

    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.....................!

I decided I shouldn't care because that was normal when you grow old but it felt like I was giving up on myself and on the meantime people still think I look around 22-25. I didn't even realized when I got brain washed. Watching this video I found myself thinking Gigi looked older in the non edited pictures and I hated it because now it seems that at some point I adopted the "any trace of texture or shadow on your face = unattractive" and that is not truth and it sucks. I will fight this as much as I can and hope the new generations will do too. But for the moment it seems fake and edited is "in" and reality is "out" when it comes to trends and beauty lately.

I do understand that women on general have this pressure to look always insta perfect, but that is on the society not the women. We need to normalise that those "imperfections" are normal not by putting them down or calling them out but with kind words. And u are doing a descent job at that.

Light is actually everything and with different cameras, we also have different results.

    This was a much needed and much appreciated video. I am hardly ever on social media, the main things I watch are KZread and sometimes scrolling through E! news app. But it is super helpful for me to watch these videos of yours because I would not have known/guessed that most of the pics I see on social media are photoshopped or edited because I hardly ever use social media. I never use any filters or anything with the pics that I take. Partially cause I don’t know how and I never post any pics anyways. All the pics I take are for my own enjoyment and all the people I want to share them with are people that I am close enough with to text regularly. So photoshop and editing things are all new to me. It really is a helpful reminder to see your vids and know that I shouldn’t be comparing myself to pictures of people I see online or on social media because a lot of it is heavily edited (even if I am not able to recognize it a lot of the times). I love how you normalize natural beauty and point out that they look great before and after their editing but the editing is not necessary and we are all beautiful human beings and all of the things they edit out are normal human features that everyone has. Thank you for the reminder ❤️🙂

I am a relatively young (24) and relatively new (son will be 2 soon) mother and it really helps so much to know that other mothers go through the same facial changing and ages I often see the edited pics and don’t know why I’ve always been thin and in shape to have 1 child and feel that I look like I’m going on 40 years old and look saggy, lol. At least now I know it’s not me not taking care of myself but even Gigi hadid has some skin wrinkling and nasolabial folds, which makes me more okay with it for some reason 😅 but I’ve always been someone to be hard on myself. Anyways, thank you 🙏🏼.

I'm pretty sure steph is around 30 and I'm almost positive that in real daylight and without tonnes of make-up Stephanie would also look nothing like she's being presented in her videos. So where do we draw the line? How is it fair to make videos about girls making themselves look barely recognisable when you yourself look barely recognisable IN THE VIDEO YOU'RE MAKING 😳😣🥱🤥

    I’ve mostly posted photos of myself with a little tweak, brighten etc because I’ve always been a bit insecure about my image. There has never been a thing anybody could say that would make me feel completely comfortable or pretty because I don’t feel that way about myself. Unfortunately, Gigi seems like she was raised by a narc, reminds me of my upbringing in that way. A lot of the ladies I meet that have had a narcissist in their lives, seem to hyper focus on imperfections. Probably because they were pointed out to us, all too often growing up. When the person you admire so much, is so critical of you, it hurts worse than a million awful comments.

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: ED ⚠️ As a gen z, social media got really popular when I was in my early teens - and with social media came body editing. I developed severe body dysmorphia after starting to use Instagram to stay in touch with old friends from my school. You are just bombarded with ads and featured posts of those airbrushed women with no pores, no pimples, no fat and no disclaimer that it's edited. It got so bad that I developed anorexia and watching your videos is such a HUUUUGE HELP in my healing process! When I breakdown in front of the mirror, I pull out my phone, watch one or two of your videos and then I feel like a gorgeous queen again.
