We've all been guilty of tuning up a selfie just a little bit to make it Instagram worthy [3]. Raise the contrast, choose a filter that hides dark circles [4], and you're set. But with the bevy of apps on the market that promise to make you look completely flawless, it has been impossible to keep up with the clear-complexion competition.

This video reveals how — with some precise tweaking — you can completely change what you look like. The model here uses a Photoshop-like program to narrow her nose, widen her eyes, and lighten her complexion, then layers in a makeup-applying tool to add blush and eyeliner. The finished product looks nothing like her true face.

The fact that people don't feel beautiful in their own skin [5] is truly heartbreaking [6]. The point of sharing a makeup-free selfie [7] is to feel comfortable exposing your flaws . . . not to appear superhuman. Instead of focusing on how to change our looks to unrealistic beauty standards, we should work to strengthen our self-confidence [8]. As we go into 2016, we're using this video as a reminder to love our selfie — dark circles and all.
