Woman Reveals ‘subtle’ Edits Influencers Do To Make Themselves Look ‘perfect’

Georgie Clarke is an Instagram influencer that talks about body positivity and aims to drop the veil when it comes to the ‘perfect’ life that Instagrammers claim to have.

In her most recent post, she revealed the tiny things that influencers do to make their bodies look more ‘hourglass’ than they actually are.

The side by side snap shows her wearing the same outfit but with a subtle difference in the edit for the two.

What she calls a ‘subtle’ edit is in fact a laundry list of things. This includes thickening her hair and altering her body

She says, “Don’t get caught out by the subtle edit!!!”

“So the subtle edit… it’s such small changes and adjustments but overall it can really airbrush and perfect an image without the audience even noticing!”

Here are all the things she edited in the one picture.

"(I) Smoothed over my armpit, smoothed over my skin, evened my arms out, smoothed over my veins (and) enlarged my hips to remove my hip dip.”

"Slightly dragged my waist and ribs in on the left side to give more of an hourglass figure.

"I slimmed my neck, thickened my hair, removed my red eye (and) smoothed over my face.”

She further adds, “When you see it as a long list like that… you don’t even realise how subtle changes like that can completely change my photo.”

“So be aware of this when you see images that look almost perfect on here, they’ve probably had very subtle smart changes to still look natural but is still totally unrealistic!”

People loved the message she was sending and how honest she was about her body.

One commenter said, “Women – especially young women and girls – need to see this kind of stuff. Thanks for keeping it real. You are beautiful!”
