‘Instagram Vs. Reality’ shows how ridiculously fake those ‘perfect’ social media photos are

WHETHER we own up to it or not, we’ll all guilty of comparing ourselves to others on Instagram from time to time.

But while we all know that people like to present their most idealised versions of themselves online (i.e. indulging in bottomless brunches on the regular), these shocking photo fails prove that there’s a lot more that goes into some of these “perfect” pictures than meets the eye.

From a flawless complexion that only Photoshop can achieve to unbelievable bikini bodies that simply don’t exist, plenty of influencers have been called out for editing their photos to shocking extremes.

Tell-tale signs include wobbly backgrounds which have accidentally been altered when nipping in a peron’s waist or accentuating their behinds.

Meanwhile, other influencers have been caught out when their pals forget to edit them to the same shocking degree…
