Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have become a popular hub for influencers to showcase their lifestyle, products, and services to their followers. However, not everything on these platforms is what it seems. In recent news, two Chinese influencers were exposed for using heavy beauty filters on their social media posts, deceiving their followers with an unrealistic portrayal of their appearance.
It is no secret that many influencers use various techniques and tools to enhance their images and videos to create an image of perfection. Filters, editing tools, and even plastic surgery are common ways for influencers to present an idealized version of themselves to their followers. However, this can create a sense of insecurity and inadequacy among those who compare themselves to these influencers and their seemingly perfect lives.
