It’s just another reason why we are living in a world of FOMO, sadness, increased anxiety, and Snapchat dysmorphia. We couldn’t have said it any better than Rankin himself: “People are mimicking their idols, making their eyes bigger, their nose smaller and their skin brighter, and all for social media likes. After snapping a picture of five teenage girls, each of a different ethnic background, Rankin gave them the image on their phones to alter until their face was “Instagram ready.” The results are astounding.Įach of these teenage girls altered their face to where the original photo is almost unrecognizable.
