30 Instagram Photos Compared To Reality Showing How Far They Are From Being Perfect

Everything looks perfect on social media: the food, the hair, the makeup, and even nature! But if everything is so perfect, then why don't I look like a Calvin Klein model and my reheated 2-day-old Chinese takeaway doesn't look like a five-star Michelin meal? The reality is that most of the "perfect" stuff we see on social media is altered in one way or another. Good lighting, the right angle and a little photoshopping can go a long way in turning a plain photo into one that will gather hundreds of thousands of likes on Instagram. And remember that many celebrities have whole teams whose only job is to make them look flawless on social media. So cut yourself some slack and check out the "perfect" Instagram photos compared to reality in the gallery below!
