Love you so much Michelle. As a person with body dysmorphia, I understand the use of filters very well. I think it’s good to know when they are used. So I encourage everyone to say when they use filters. Thank you for talking about this.

I’m in agreement that iPhone cameras distort and enlarge features and sometimes enhance the contrast of your skin, it’s not an accurate depiction of what we truly look like. It’s hard to not follow suit with filters that correct these undesirable effects. you don’t deserve the scrutiny.

MIchelle is right. Iphone lens will distort facial features and face shape. Making the face more narrow or bigger depending on the lens. Thank you for taking the time to explain lens distortion. I have notice some people look so much better in person then in photos...and this is exactly why.

There is this fantastic woman on KZread who is a photographer and she talks about why you don’t recognize yourself In pictures like you see yourself in the mirror. Her name is sorelle amore, And I believe the way she explains the illusion and manipulation of what a camera can do just perfectly. I think everyone and Michelle would find it fascinating. I enjoy it because the way she explains the mechanism of the camera, light, angle and so on makes me realize that’s it’s not me that’s the issue. A camera is trying to do its best in capturing a 3D living thing it’s not going to be perfect. Because life is really, really hard to capture it’s full essence completely there really is nothing wrong with you and this man made tool is trying to capture something whether it’s you, nature , and all living things at its fullest. Do yourself a favor give yourself a break and don’t be hard on yourself, it’s just an warped illusion really of the real thing. And honestly It’s hard to capture gods great masterpieces ❤️

This made me happy to see that I was not the only one who thought this about our phones/cameras. For years, I have stopped taking selfies because I just did not feel it looked like me. I know I have flaws, but I also like most of my features, and most importantly love myself. I seldomly feel the need to capture a still photo of me, and if I do I make sure I only keep what I feel is the best representation of how I view myself as. Thank you for sharing this Michelle, you did not have to explain yourself but thank you for doing so. ♡

Well, again saying thank you for your transparency! As I said before, same, I used filters to try and look more like what I see in the mirror. Front phone cams usually make the face longer and I like my square fleshy face. Filters can be your ally or a nightmare, justa depends on how they're used. But always with honestly!!

Yes! the phone camera lenses distort your face! They make the object closest to the lens appear “larger” which is often why people (including myself) feel like their nose looks larger in photos. It’s like, i know my face, and my facial features seem much different than what I am seeing. Sending love, Michelle!

The problem isn't your face or the camera. It's more of mental thing with humans, (forgive my shitty science) we see our reflection in the mirror and it's reversed and that's the face we are used to seeing, but when we use a camera that isn't reversed it's weird or in human looking to us because we don't see the person we recognize in reverse. Not to mention cameras can pick up on weird areas.

What u see in mirror isn’t the same reflection as the selfie camera tho? Just human eyes capture what is important differently with lenses, when we look at actual human we focus on one point and see it as 3D, but camera try to capture it all and make it flat 2D, many things can be distorted, during the 3D to 2D process. I can even see the pic that I took for my friends are so different from what they really looks like, and I also do a experiment w my friends to see them in the mirror and compare w what they look in real life the mirror still capture99% realistic look, but the camera probably only 30-70 depends on the lighting and angle

The camera still makes a bigger difference. Different focal lengths can make you look different. The iPhone's front and back cameras have a difference too. I usually mirror my photos so it's reversed but a mirror is more true than a camera. I've looked at my friends in the mirror and they look more similar to their reflection than a phone selfie.

It is important to mention that as well, for young people that would not understand why recreating KZread makeup / r ouatine is less effective in a daily basis, in natural lights, and might creates insecurities they wouldn’t have otherwise.

This is so true. Honestly, sometimes using filters can actually make your photo look more true to your face. Obviously, it can SO easily be made to be deceptive, but it's not always the case. Filters have sort of become a necessity because the selfie camera distorts your face no matter what, and we all know our faces well enough. For me personally, the camera widens parts of my face depending on the angle, and it can sort of emphasize my skin texture even though it's actually not as visible in real life.

The internet is a hard place to explain the grey areas, props to Michelle for her maturity and trying her best to address it:)

i appreciate u so much, michelle. i do feel diff when looking in a selfie cam. the same goes when im taking rear camera photos as well. perhaps it is a feeling of dysmorphia and i do want to find confidence on all angles of my face but heck im not perfect. like u i use barely there skin smoothing but i still do use it. i really appreciate that u would be so open to talk abt it when a lot of beauty influencers tend to avoid this topic for the most part. i have embraced my pores & my discoloration and I hope that ppl arent always judged for wanting to present a beautiful canvas but i also get that u are in the business of beauty. keep it up, michelle. im proud of u

Love you Michelle ♡ been following you since I was a kid and every bit of beauty advice, life update, and moment of honesty is appreciated.

more than 10 years later and I’m still enjoying your content. and yes I have the same sentiments when comes to face filters. I adjust to make it look like what I see in the mirror rather than covering imperfections because I know my phone camera lens have its own limitations, and also of course I want to look my personal best whenever I’m on camera. Thank you for the open dialogue and video, feels like a breath of fresh air.

Man I love it when creators address these things im such a straightforward and simple manner then the outcome/takeaway is so richhh. Love you michelle

Ahhh Michelle, I've always watched your videos since I was in high school. You've always had a very mature and "old soul" outlook on things (similar to what people describe me as). You're the type of person that seems to be a good friend.

It's not just you! I feel the same way with how I show up on videos/ camera vs how I actually think I look in real life. Sometimes a filter softens the harsh shadows of your face that most people don't even see IRL. You explained exactly what I've always felt!!! Thank you for being so transparent :)

Thank you so much for being open and honest about this Mish! I agree that being transparent is the best way to do things and whether or not to use a filter is up to individuals but it would be nice to know as to not set unrealistic expectations and standards. Love you❤

Great interesting video, Michelle. I wasn’t aware of the controversy but I love how calm, mature and composed you are dealing with this kind of situations and clarifying the misunderstanding. I too have been watching you for years, so I totally get getting wiser and how our energy changes with age and experience, and it’s delightful to see. Xo.

I love you Michelle this was so open and real and I'm so grateful to have watched you and your videos for years and be inspired by you for make up 💗 ur so real, and that's why you're such an amazing creator 😁

In regards to camera phones: the focal length of a 'selfie' or front-facing camera has is ironically not optimised for capturing faces. It will make the centre of your face appear larger than it actually is, in relation to the rest of your face. I have quite a narrow nose and high nose bridge but if I take a close-up selfie with my phone's front facing camera, my nose looks huge and squashed and quite bulbous! The best way to take a selfie with a front-facing camera is to extend your arm as far as it can reach and then zoom in on yourself to best get an accurate photo without distortion. Additionally if you're able to use the self-timer or Camera Remote (via Apple Watch) the camera on the back of your phone is far superior for capturing accurate photos! I can't speak to Android devices because the hardware differs so much from brand to brand and model to model, but I can note that there's likely a similar effect as front-facing camera are almost always not as powerful as their rear-facing counterparts but I will note that I have read that often due to Android being a more open platform compared to iOS, often the camera sensor and other photography hardware is not optimised for capturing the best quality photos and really harnessing the power of the embedded hardware in conjunction with the software. This is obviously again going to differ a lot between manufacturers but because iPhone firmware is so closely guarded by Apple they are probably the most optimised camera sensors, next to other camera capable phones that are designed with high-quality photography in mind. I hope that clarifies a few things, sorry if that was a mansplanation and I'm happy to edit my comment if it was.

Thank you for clearing the air on this issue. It was a little hard to tell if a skin filter was being used in the video when it was zoomed out, but on close up shots, it was obvious you weren't blurring your skin. It was honestly so refreshing to see pores up close and remember just how normal they are (I know it's crazy to remember that pores are normal but that's how brain washed we've become).

I love you so much Mich! Been here for years and I love your honesty, you have excellent context and are a true professional but I will always appreciate your honesty the most. It’s rare, seems to be mostly found in the “classic” or “first generation” KZreadrs.

Oh there we go, i thought i was hallucinating because i watched this earlier and the video was gone after refreshing! 😂 but honestly, i feel the same about looking different on phone lens. Love you!

I did notice the warping in the last video, but seeing the amount of warping and still being able to see your texture, I 100% understood it was about the shape of your face. I feel the same way when I try to take selfies, my phone camera makes my face so much wider. I’m glad you brought up this topic 😌

I actually know what you're saying about phone cameras distorting faces and bodies in general. I've seen it happen when switching between modes. It'll stretch out with one and then the other, it might not but sometimes does.

Love this, Michelle. Thank you for your honesty.

I never knew skin filters existed and I have been feeling REALLY bad lately about not having smooth skin and feeling that even my makeup is wrong for me because I can still see my pores and fine lines around my eyes. Wow. Now I know every picture on the net is just an illusion.

This was great! Loved hearing your thoughts on it. Filters can be tough in the make-up space, because there is the concern that a filter isn't giving an accurate portrayal of what a cosmetic or skincare product is actually doing, or looks like when used. Appreciate your honesty here and just having a chill chat about it. It doesn't have to be a huge dramatic thing. Thanks, Michelle!!

You’re so awesome! I love that you just made a video showing stuff lol I love creative photography! I think as long as you label a filter on whatever content then it’s all part of the art 💜

I GET IT 1000% as a makeup artist! Sometimes the camera/lighting can be so harsh or so HD that it makes you look more rugged.

This makes me feel relieved knowing that cameras do distort our features. I have always felt weird when I see myself in photos. I can never understand why my photo self looks bad compared to my mirror self. But I hope we can all reach a point where we can appreciate every flaw we have and be happy that these flaws make us unique. 💓

I love how Michelle is upfront about this. I'm learning to love my skin and just let it breathe.

I just wish people out there don't give a wrong message when it comes to the beauty content. (Just putting it out there )

Michelle is 100% right. iPhone cameras distort your face beyond recognition which is why I avoid taking selfies because I know that’s not what I really look like. I as well take my photos with a beauty camera, I adjust to look exactly the way I look in the mirror.

Michelle, I just want to say THANK YOU 💖 over the past year I’ve been having bad skin issues because of stress and hormonal imbalance, I never felt self conscious about my skin but the last few months have been so hard. Seeing your no foundation tutorial was groundbreaking to me, seeing your natural skin with no filter made me realize that skin has texture, and for the first time in months I had to courage to go out for diner with no foundation on. And I felt amazing 💖 a little over 10 years ago I learnt how to do my makeup with your tutorials, and now being closer to 30 I’m learning to love my own skin. So, again, thank you ✨
