    Mirror or a camera?
    Hey!
    This might sound a little weird but it is happening to me all the time.
    Whenever I get ready to go out (hairstyle,. ) I find myself good looking when I look myself at the mirror. Then when I take a picture of myself I look terrible!
    So which thing should I trust?

    ( Yeah I know it's stupid :p )

    Best Regards

    Trust the mirror. Cameras still have a long way to go before they are completely honest! My brother had a GF in JobCorps a few years ago. He sent a pic and she looke pretty, but rather heavy, especially in the hips and bottom. He brought her home a short time later, and she was the littlest thing you ever saw. This was no magic diet and weight loss. The pic was only a couple weeks old when we met her.

    Haha, don't worry about the mirror or the camera... chances are, you look just fine. Lenses and mirrors mess with you.

    My problem is different... I have this mirror in the hallway that seems a bit too brutally honest. I'm a guy, and I don't worry that much about the way I look (I go to the mall with basketball shorts + ripped up shirt + flip flops) but this mirror will highlight every single flaw and accentuate it. Really.

    The lighting in the bathroom may be flattering. Check mirrors other places you go. Sometimes a camera flash can wash your face out.

    Well.. My body looks fine in both mirror and camera.. But my hairstyle doesn't look good in camera while it looks fine in the mirror. I also seem to have huge forehead when I take a picture o.O It's not like that in the mirror! :p (forehead is really bothering me :P )

    Btw.. I am a guy too :)

    Best Regards

    Trust the mirror,
    It is the extremely bright flash of the camera that is making your hair look bad. You will never be in a light this bright (think about just how bright a camera flash is)
    Try taking a photo of your hair without the flash, and you will see what you see in the mirror
    :)
