SPOTLIGHT: Beauty Face...

Just for a giggle, I thought I'd share with you a setting on my new phone camera that I can assure you I will NEVER use for my blog pics - it's called "Beauty Face". From what I can gather, the purpose of it is to remove all the flaws from your face - wrinkles, blemishes, saggy skin, freckles, shadows, enlarged pores, you name it, the camera erases them when you take the actual photo.

I think it's ridiculous - makes my skin look all waxy, like that of a shop dummy...


And apart from being all fuzzy, this silly setting seems to have shrunk my lips and blurred the outline that I so carefully create each morning...



For comparison, here's two similar looks taken with my other camera, the one I use for all my EOTD & LOTD photos...


Yeah well I admit I could certainly do without the crinkly bits around my eyes, but seriously gals, this is me, and in my opinion, my lips look better than when given the "beauty" treatment above - whaddya reckon?



There may be a place for this in the beauty world, I'm just not sure where!

Take care of you,
kats xxx

    Ha ha how interesting, I much prefer the real, perfect you - imperfections and all.
    The setting makes everything look unreal, just like a mannequin! The vibrancy of the liner disappears and the lips oh my they aren't doing your real photos justice!!

    Your EOTD is so funky & really fun nicely complemented with a gorgeous lip colour, looks so lustrous! :)

      I'm SO relieved you feel the same way themisses - honestly I couldn't believe what it did to my face, reminds me of one of those Stepford Wives lol!

    Oh dear god I hate those settings! I also hate the filters and photoshop that some beauty bloggers are so dead set on using. When I read blogs I'm looking for real life stuff, I want to really see the skin and really see the flaws, I want to know how products look on real people! These things just perpetuate the concept that perfection is beautiful.

    Kat I love this post because it gave me a good laugh but I love your imperfections more and that's what keeps me coming back! And I've just realised I'm not subscribed to you on bloglovin' so I'm gonna go do that..

      Hooray Hailey! I'm so glad you had a chuckle - I was in two minds about whether to put up such a silly post, but I think it deserved an airing. Can't imagine anyone actually wanting to use something like this, but hey there must be a market - I prefer grainy old me any day. And thanks for subscribing, I really appreciate your support sweetie xxx

    LOL what a strange setting! I've never seen or heard of that one before.
    I too prefer the real you Kats :D and the untouched photo really does look so much nicer. Your lips look much more plump and healthier in the real photo.
    Thanks so much for sharing this interesting post xx

      So much for modern technology hey gemma? Actually I will take one more pic using this setting, but I'll capture my whole face and take a comparison shot as well - I think it'll be such a hoot!

    NO NOT WHEN YOU'RE 70!!!! You will still look like the gorgeous gal we know, love and admire. Agree with the other girls but it's good to have" a fun, refusing to take life too seriously blog."
    With love,
    Trish.

    I choose the real you always, Kat !!! I didn't like the way the camera made your lips look wonky.
