It drives me mad because my daughters keep on comparing themselves with those fake people

About maybe 12 to 14 yrs ago (could be longer) I donwnloaded a filter to see what the deal was. Everyone around me was talking about how great they were etc. I picked a picture I thought I looked really good in to try the filter out. With in about a minute of messing around with it, when I looked at the comparison of the original pic to the filtered one I suddenly thought OMG I look horrendous in the original pic. I sat there depressed and hating myself picking apart my looks for a good hour. I then deleted the app and the filtered pic. Personally I had never had anything make me hate myself so much so quickly than the filter did. I would rather look at a bad pic of myself and laugh now than have a fake one that would make me hate myself when I look in a mirror.

As a person in my 50's, it is hard to watch yourself age in the mirror every time you wash your face or put on make-up. You see the subtle differences in your skin and how your make-up sits. So many things change! With that said, a lot of how we age is how we care for ourselves (diet, exercise) and DNA. What's disappointing is that people are so judgemental about looks & youthful appearance, & celebs have higher expectations since they have enough disposable income to combat it! We judge them about how much plastic surgery they get, or how old or overweight/underweight they are. There's really no way to win. But if someone like a KK or JLo was more honest about how they're aging, it would be refreshing to the rest of us of similar age struggling with it. I think to see yourself with a filter, then not, is a bit of a hit to the ego, hence why people are so keen on using them. Sometimes I even feel guilty using a Snapchat filter 😕 The approach to aging is up to each of us how we want to navigate this unpredictable journey, and how we feel the most confident and comfortable doing it.

I also am against false advertising with filters. But my main concern with filters is that it can damage people’s self image and self esteem. Give them a false sense of reality they can never live up to.

I knew JLo’s skin wasn’t that perfect. We’ve seen paparazzi photos of her and they show all her flaws. She still looks good for her age, but the fact that she promotes a skincare brand and uses filters is shady.

This is why i love what Wane Goss does with his make-up brand. I'm not sure if his models are completely unretouched, but he himself said that he wants people to see real skin in his campaigns. And indeed the models had pores, fine lines, bumps. To add to that his product before and afters never look like "OMG THIS IS A MIRACLE", the afters look better, but they never look very different from the original. I think none shouldn't even be ALLOWED to do ANY retouching or filters on skincare and make-up adds it's just false advertising and for some reason it's still skipped over in todays day and age. Also just to add to that, i recently was talking to a korean dude who has a large following on insta. All his pictures are that typical pale face, pore-less perfection that they love over there so much. And we ended up talking about something where he snapped a photo of his face and went "i have skin texture" and was like "yeah, well everyone does, so?". I was so confused. Like i know you're a human, I'm one too, I know we all have it it's not news to me. Am i supposed to be appalled by that? It's crazy how filters and retouching are a norm now and even if you don't want to use them, the human nature of wanting to be liked and accepted and be a part of that image just unconsciously drives you to. I do wish we would stop demonising REAL skin. This stuff gets especially daunting when you're getting older.

All of those things are a possibility for anyone and everyone.. even if mobility impaired one can still exercise (modified of course) and eat well.

Don't forget all the cosmetic and/or surgical help they have allegedly had, let alone skin filters online....

I’m in my mid-50s and am aging awesomely by focusing on movement, nutrition, and learning. I also like how Jamie Lee Curtis refers to it at “pro-aging”.

I actually thought everyone looked so cute WITHOUT the filter. As I’ve gotten older (37 next week) I really see beauty in everyone. No filter needed.

Why this is problematic is because Jlo is selling skincare products.. that's like selling exercise programs but using surgery and filters.

Promoting skincare while using a filter on your skin is proper cheeky. Jlo looks absolutely fantastic in reality too, but I definitely feel that huge pressure to keep my youthful appearance so for someone in the spotlight it has to be immense. Still a no no to sell a product

for me, filters are only fun when they are silly and exaggerated. i don't use then to make myself look perfect.

Oh my god the Bold Glamour filter is so wild. I’ve been experimenting with different wigs, color contacts, and levels/styles of makeup to see the different ways it filters me. So wild that it gives me more makeup with a long ginger wig than with a dark “perm” bob!

The camera on my iPhone 13 did this automatically and it really annoyed me. I still don’t know if I managed to turn it off. It blurs the hairline like that vid of JLo and made my skin paler and more pink looking. The filters are probably making us all feel bad about ourselves more than we know even

I personally have never taken a photo myself using a filter, but two occasions I've been in photo's with a friend and one with my sister and they used a filter and it confirmed my bias against them. They changed my features "enhancing them" to make me look "prettier" I believe they'll give us a complex about our natural self's and cause even more insecurities. My nose was made smaller, my eye's bigger, my skin poreless and airbrushed. That's not how I look and I don't want to get hung up on how an app thinks I should look but never could. I'm not knocking anyone for using them, I just think they'll cause more harm than good to our self esteem.

I hate makeup and skincare advertisements having filters. I think it's terrible that people in general are so fricken mean about how anyone looks, especially these gorgeous celebrities. They're self conscious so I understand the filters.

I just want to take a moment to thank you personally James on how lovely and appropriately you spoke in your intro. Not only addressing the pressures women go through whilst at the same time acknowledging the issues of mental health that men go through, and then linking to videos that address the women's viewpoint.

you hit the nail on the head: these filters are really a signifier of deeper societal issues. there are so many facets to this conversation, and the nuance gets lost in a lot of the back-and-forth that happens on social media. ultimately, these filters exist due to some truly troubling standards of beauty that have been manufactured by corporations so that they can sell us more product, but yelling at the everyday people using them isn't helping anyone. until we get at the root cause of these things, we're going to continue to see more and more sophisticated technology developed to hide what we really look like online, and it's going to hurt us all.

It’s incredibly obvious that JLO uses filters. I can spot them pretty easily nowadays but so many young people have no idea. I don’t like celebs lying and profiting off that lie. It seems like no one cares about honesty and integrity anymore.

Can we stop shaming women for having skin texture? I remember when images of SJP started appearing online for the new Sex and City reboot. The amount of criticism about how she should "dye her hair" or "wear make up" and some even made mean comments about her skin texture, and what's sad was it was all mostly coming from WOMEN. I saw the JLo video and I honestly don't believe she even noticed. Then we wonder why celebrities are always adamant to let their hair down in the name of relatability.

I absolutely understand using a filter to do things like removing acne or rosacea, because those things aren't permanent features on the face and tend to come and go (and for most people, eventually goes away altogether). But it does bother me when people use filters that completely alter their appearance so that they look like a totally different person... I just kinda feel really bad for them, and mad at social media for creating these toxic standards in the first place.

That’s all I do when I edit my client’s photos. Remove pimples, and spots that come and go, maybe a couple deep wrinkles(and wrinkles I don’t remove 100%, I use the healing tool on 70% opacity or so) and I don’t reduce texture more than 10%. I believe in very subtle and realistic enhancements.

Love love your channel! Great idea! It’s so good for younger audiences see how ppl use filters to make them look just a better version of real life faces. They need to know influencers also have texture & pimples. & other normal skin lol! Xxx

You discussed the expectations put on women vs. men so eloquently and without minimising men's issues, I wish more people could look at these issues calmly and rationally without pitting one gender against the other.

I recently discovered your channel, and I am obsessed! I love your content and skin products recommendations. Especially K beauty!

Besides the fact that she's in her 50's and no matter what skincare products you use your skin at that age isn't going to have absolutely no wrinkles or discoloration at all, unless you've had work done or use filters.

I love this series!! 🥰

The Bold Glamor not only adds a “beautifying” filter, it adds an “uglyfying/old” filter when the filter allegedly “lifts”. No one is talking about this, but I know I don’t look like what it shows me when the Bold filter is off. Basically TikTok uglifies people at baseline before they apply a filter, so it makes them feel old and insecure and dependent on those stupid filters.

The part that bothers me is my neck starting to visibly age. Right where the underside of my chin starts to curve into my neck the skin is getting thin and crepe-y. I know face care products can slow it, but I can't reverse it without surgery.
