Amanda Steele Wants You To Stop Photoshopping Your Social Media Pics
Amanda Steele has seen enough photoshopped pictures on Instagram and she’s had enough.
The makeup maven, model and social star opened up in a series of tweets this afternoon about accepting all your flaws and ditching the need to photoshop everything.
“people edit themselves so much on Instagram it’s sad that people can’t just appreciate natural beauty,” she writes. “how is ANYONE supposed to live up to these expectations when they are false??”
“Like geez please just leave yourself be! You are beautiful enough without photoshop!” Amanda adds. “It is one thing for magazines/campaigns to photoshop photos but making your personal profile a unrealistic version of yourself is not fair! there are so many girls out there wondering why they aren’t that beautiful or skinny etc… you have no idea what you put these girls thru.”
She continues, “I totally get skin smoothing and detailing to make a more flawless photo but I know soooo many people who literally reshape themselves. I’m talking about people with large followings that are literally INFLUENCERS. Everything you do INFLUENCES thousands of people. If you put yourself out there purposely creating a following, please use your power positively :(.”
Read the rest of her point below:
So moral of the story. NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF TO PEOPLE ONLINE. Do not let it get you down. You are beautiful and the whole world knows it!

I, myself as an influencer feel the pressure to perfect every photo and post I do because my page and likes don't add up to those who do…

Like I've worked my whole life to love my flaws and now I guess publicizing them isn't proper Instagram model etiquette… smh
