As the world is progressing, so is people's minds regarding their own personal self. It's sad to see but most of us don't really feel satisfied or content with how we naturally look. We self deprecate a lot. 

 

I'd say to walk down the road to improve ourselves in a way is the best possible way. But then comes the idea of beauty filters and all other beauty apps in social media instead. 

 

Social media is a platform where everything takes place. Be it current news, meme videos and photos, lifestyles, games and even beauty standards. 

 

People spending way too much time in social media, to my believe, makes them loose self esteem, more when they come across fashion and make up bloggers, feeling small and underappreciated compared to them. 

 

One of the major causes of being obsessed with changing the way we look ourselves is beauty filters. Beauty filters in new camera apps designed by certain companies or people has the idea of how self deprecating this world has become. Instead of pushing people to learn to live themselves, they're literally taking advantage and creating and developing apps that appeals to those kind of people. 

 

Beauty filters has a range of different filters that changes the way we look at a high level. Different saturating contrast, tint on the lips and cheeks, making eyes bigger, lifting up the faces, covering all the blemishes opting for a softer look, everything changes with just a filter on an app. 

 

This is a down point in shaping a person's perspective of themselves, making them lose touch of their natural self and how improvement can be seen if you work on it yourselves without any help from beauty filters that would just give you one good Instagram picture, and that's it. 

 

Beauty filters are being so obsessively used by self conscious people. In a way it is understandable because you want to be appreciated once in a while and the world is not very kind in real life so maybe social media is the option. But it's sad when people don't understand that this is literally deceit on their own behalf and to people who know them. It's changing the way we look along with the way we think, that hiding behind beauty filters is considered okay in the long run. 

 

But it's not. 

 

Knowing your self worth is the most important life lesson a person should work on. But beauty filters just gets in the way of a person's road to improvement. Beauty filters won't change anything about a person's face if the said person does not really taken care if it themselves. 

 

So yes, beauty filters are changing the way we look ourselves, planting the idea in our mind that it's okay to use it just to look pretty when it is possible for us to be pretty without any help from it. We are capable.
