No, the mirror is actually how you look and how others see you, not an electrical device. It makes no difference that you're seeing a mirror image of yourself. Cameras tend to add a lot of depth to your face, thus making every bump or imperfection look 3 times the size they should be. It also distorts the proportions of your face depending on the distance you are from the lens. The closer to the lens, the more your face will seem to stretch out toward the camera, showing the closer parts of your face as being larger than the parts further away. What you're seeing through a camera is an electronic approximation of your face with simulated depth. Some people are photogenic, usually people who have very smooth skin and plain features.
Je suis d’accord avec vous. Je m’apprécie dans mon miroir, et me trouve moche en photo de près (moins d’un mètre). Au delà d’un mètre de l’objectif je me retrouve comme dans le miroir. C’est pour cela que je prends mes sujets de loin et que je les rapproche en développant. Ainsi tout le monde est satisfait. Mais ces histoires de les gens te voient comme si comme là me fatiguent. Les gens nous voient comme nous voyons notre reflet du miroir, point 😊
I think the mirror is more accurate and here's my own evidence for that conclusion. My 7 year old daughter takes a good picture about half the time, but she always looks absolutely beautiful when I see her face IRL. And in the mirror, her face looks exactly the way I see her IRL, regardless of her face being flipped. Even her good photos can't come close to capturing her face the way it looks in person..so what is telling the truth? A mechanical device or my own eyes?
@@tanveeerahmad yep, front camera photos = selfies. I had a time when i could not take one without putting a filter first because of how wider my face and nose looked without them. Selfies give the worst / most untrue presentation of what a person look like because of the fish eye effect they have.
Mirror is accurate I've asked everyone I've known in person and they said I looked symmetrical. Then I showed them my photos and they where like wtf lol. So don't worry the mirror is how everyone sees you
@@acefrosty4411 Dont you guys have any friends?? Your friends look the same in the mirror but often times they look different in pics. Pics are not accurate representation of how you look in real life.
Definitely a mirror is accurate. As a photographer, it all depends on lens, light and dimensional imaging. To add onto it, people have always said I look different and better in real life then in photos. I personally have about two photos I like. Others look all different! I can take about ten photos, all same light and each one is different.
I believe mirror more than photos, because everyone always tell me I dont look my age - I am 32 and people mistake me for 25 year old. Meanwhile photos give me extra 10 years, I look weirdly serious, make my face look more square and when I smile, my eyes get ridiculously uneven. I look like a COMPLETELY different person. IRL I have an oval face, kind of a baby face and even if my eyes are not symmetrical, they are not THAT much.
When you take a selfie with your phone, the image is initially displayed as a mirror image, which is how you're used to seeing yourself and how others see u in real life. However, once the photo is taken, many phones reverse the image to match how others see you in person, and this is wrong because no one sees you as the phone reverses you, when we interact with people in real life, they see us as we see ourselves in the mirror
This, I think camera lenses are so attuned to getting the images they want that mechanically that can focus on whatever they're going for. Where as Mirror quality is made to reflect the clearest true image of the room, fun Mirrors excluded.
Hold up something with text on it and view it through the mirror. You are in fact seeing a mirror image but it makes no difference as to how you look or others see you. The mirror is exactly how others see you.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You hold all the power. Just keep telling yourself in the mirror you are so lovely. Personally personality overrides image all the time. Be kind and patient and nice to others and smile at them to make them feel good. You will forget about yourself and focus on others thereby being happy and o so lovely 🎉❤.

Very educational video. The part about needing to step back 5 feet when taking pictures so they dont widen your features explains why the mirror selfies I take look better than the pictures I take while holding the phone at arm's length.
The mirror is geometrically accurate and most people look at it from half the normal distance for every situation. It doubles the distance so it is how you look to others when they are looking at you face to face.
I ask my mother and sister which I look better, mirror or irl and they said ofc in real life. The video explains why we prefer our reversed image but yeah mirror is much more accurate that view yourself to other rather than photos which can distort our face.
Since both mirror and camera seem to modify ones REAL look (according to the clip), why would people assume the camera photo is more accurate? And there are of course instances when we take camera pics (selfies) with the help of a mirror (i always do)...how accurate is that? I think there are just too many variables to take into consideration that one can not conclude which one is more accurate. If people say you look good you probably look good. But then again, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder so its impossible to say.

i think what he means is that they see the flipped mirror version of you. a camera flips your face but doesnt quite capture it like an eye would if that makes sense
Nah I have a mole on the left by my nose and whe I take a selfie it's on the right I believe the mirror is accurate. With the lends it depends how you angle.
Anyone who is familiar with photography knows what focal length and depth of field does to an image. The cameras in phones are set like a wide angle lens. That way you get a greater depth of field which is what the manufacturers would want because you have no ability to focus the camera. That's great for landscapes but lousy for portraiture....especially at close range which is exactly the way most people use these cameras. It distorts the face elongating the nose and basically exaggerating the features as if you were looking through a peep hole in an apartment door. It is not what the eye sees. Better to take your face shot from more of a distance and then zoom and crop the image.
Dude all mirror does is reverse your image, not alter your face shape or features, so if u have a perfect face in mirror then irl u have perfect face too
Consider having someone take photos of you with a full frame camera that has a 50mm lens mounted. If the photographer has an APSC sensor camera they need to mount a 30mm lens. If the photographer has a micro four thirds, ask them to mount a 25mm lens. These will all achieve the same look as your mirror image (without the reflection of your face; and from any angle and pose you desire). Simply put, the photo will look like the way others see you in real life. To find the appropriate lens, know the camera’s approximate “crop factor”.
@@cameronh0701 No it isn't its only for all the 12 yr old who are growing up with terms like "mogging", "mewing", "looksmaxxing",etc... Typical brainrot 😂
A possible explanation may be that mirror photos, the subject is prepared for them and can adjust their facial expressions. But mirrors are often going to have curvature, especially cheap, thin ones, and exaggerate features. A typical problem I notice is excessive widening of the face/body. Another problem with some mirrors, is that they don't reflect the proper light back, making one either two dark or with the wrong hue.

How to see your real face : -Selfies dont show real face also the mirror. -Back camera of Mobile shows your real face but it creates your parts bigger than it seems in real life. -The true mirror shows real of ypu ❤
@@nirogalactoid8398 Google "true mirror" takes about 10 seconds to find 😊 Its basically tree mirrors, one in the middle, the other two with a 45° to the middle one
*Just take a 85mm/90mm lens mugshot to see the real you or to see what other people see when they see you.* If you have a smartphone with a 3x telephoto lens, they generally have a 77mm lens so still very close to the real thing. But I don't trust smartphones due to their AI trickery. *Now about choosing your face side:* The side to which your nose tip is tilted or the side with a smaller eye is the side you should face the camera. Smaller eye side is more important than nose tilt or side with the hair part while choosing you photogenic face side. *But as a rule of thumb to choose your face side:* Smaller eye side > Nose tilt side > Hair part side > Strong jaw side. *It's generally the left side of your face that's more photogenic as per science as the right brain controls the left side and it's more expressive as a result.* But the above aspect I stated is more important along with this. *Btw, as per science, people look at your right side of the face the most due to looking left bias of our right brain.* Lastly, it's not the face shape but facial symmetry and facial features that makes a beautiful face. Golden ratio stuff basically. *Unsymmetrical faces can also be beautiful depending on the facial features.* Cheers 🥂

So... couldn't you just stand with someone by a mirror and see for yourself how the mirror distorts or does not distort someone's image? We see the same things reflected in the mirror as anyone else whether it's ourselves or someone else.

okay I understand that the mirror flips everything, but if I used 2 mirrors and it wasn't flipped... then would that be accurate? or is it true that I make up some things with my brain when looking at myself in the mirror? am I uglier irl than in the "non flipped version" mirror?
But the image we see in mirrors is the reverse one compared to how people see us in real life. So the image we see ourselves in mirros is not how people see us irl. It is all wrong guys😅
In a world where most people are obsessed with selfies and posting photos of themselves everywhere on social media, I highly doubt this is true for everyone anymore.
Would be better if mirror was showing true image so we would be more accurate at grooming ourselves. Is there a way to see true image besides using a phone?
@@hirengamer9746 a true mirror is a mirror of 3 showing you how you actually look to others, now I have no real proof if that’s true so I can’t say much.
Here is the real reason: Your mirror lie to you because he knows that he is cheap and you can break him. But your phone knows that he is expensive and you will not break him so he shows you the truth.

Yes but if someone looks at you at the other side where the mirror is then when you lift your right arm it will be your left arm in reality that you are raising The best experiment would be to use a true mirror so that you get a proper conprehension
One of the reasons why we can look better in our mirrors or some other mirror ( like pubic bathrooms such as restaurants, etc ) is because of the lighting. Looking YASS and looking into a crappy florescent lit bathroom at some rest stop may make you cringe. It's all about lighting and most of us have good lighting in our bathrooms.
Yo simply ask yourself how often when you’re out and about about does someone face look distinctly asymmetrical to you and the answer is rarely…if ever. The same applies to you and what you see in the mirror. Our brains naturally correct for minor asymmetries in the face. The only reason we get shocked by the inverted filter is because our brains aren’t use to seeing and correct for our face that way.
The image from the camera always makes you fatter because the lens, the image in the mirror is always more beautiful because it is an inverted image. When I create a hairstyle that looks good in the mirror, I redo it in the opposite direction.
So when i post a picture of my self do u post it as flipped which looks bad to me or the otherway which looks good to me but its flipped for other people ????
OMG well.. i did suffer from bad acne as a teenager, especially on my forehead and my skin looks exactly like when in some lighting! at 8:12 , its the acne scars, & i think i got some slight pitting and it just looks all bumpy on my forhead. Strange thing is people have always said i had really amazing conplexion, almost like porcelain. Im very fair skinned, but i think it looks terrible :/
using hand held mirror. While looking at my phone camera app and I look better with the mirror. Certain features I see better in the mirror. While on the camera i don't see those features and blemishes. So for me to stop looking up this topic. I look better in the mirror and in real life vs camera phone/tablet. Maybe if I had a professional camera I might look different. I also look fatter on camera but in mirror I look buff.
Ok but how much distance should we make from mirror to get more accurate representation like when i came too close like only 20 cm is left between me and mirror i look too creepy and ugly but when there is decent distance like an arms length away from mirror i look too handsome so which one is real
@@mehak7086 yeah, techically the image is reversed but you still look the same but in camera even if the photo is not reversed, you dont look like that
im kinda in shock rn i was talking to someone for a bit i saw her in person and she said I looked diffrent but I dont really understand how cause inverted or not inverted I see myself the same on call the same, on pics the same but why not in person even in random reflections I look the same so honestly I dont know whats real anymore can someone help me undertand
Phone makes you look weird it distorts your facial features so just trust the mirror version its 100% accurate its just inverted which doesnt change your heads shape so people wont notice the what you do when you see flipped
Alright then, use two mirrors. The second reflection should be how you actually look. Cameras make your face 2D. Front cameras are the worst. They distort your features
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You hold all the power. Just keep telling yourself in the mirror you are so lovely. Personally personality overrides image all the time. Be kind and patient and nice to others and smile at them to make them feel good. You will forget about yourself and focus on others thereby being happy and o so lovely 🎉❤
The back camera of a phone provides a more accurate representation of how you appear to others in real life. Mirrors show a reversed image of yourself, which can be different from what people see. Here are the key points: - **Back Camera**: Captures your image as others see you, providing a true-to-life representation. - **Mirror**: Shows a reversed or mirrored image, which can be different from your true appearance. Therefore, for an accurate depiction of how you look to others, the back camera is the better option.
I have made my brother stand in front of mirror, he looks exactly in the mirror what he looks in real life. I also asked him to check me and he said I look ditto what I look in the mirror. I did it with more than 14 of my friends and they all said I look like exactly the same as I do in the mirror and they do too. You push a lot of BS because you need content for your videos. Most of it is cap.
When comparing a camera vs our eyes, we humans have two eyes and there’s a paralax effect. When we look at something, our biological camera lens is about 10cm in diameter. The best camera ever.

That's great for landscapes but lousy for portraiture....especially at close range which is exactly the way most people use these cameras. It distorts the face elongating the nose and basically exaggerating the features as if you were looking through a peep hole in an apartment door. It is not what the eye sees. Better to take your face shot from more of a distance and then zoom and crop the image.
I want to ask when I take a photo why the shape of my face becomes oval, when I look in the mirror I am more perfect, so which one am I?
Someone noticed

Dude all mirror does is reverse your image, not alter your face shape or features, so if u have a perfect face in mirror then irl u have perfect face too
Consider having someone take photos of you with a full frame camera that has a 50mm lens mounted. If the photographer has an APSC sensor camera they need to mount a 30mm lens. If the photographer has a micro four thirds, ask them to mount a 25mm lens.
These will all achieve the same look as your mirror image (without the reflection of your face; and from any angle and pose you desire). Simply put, the photo will look like the way others see you in real life.
To find the appropriate lens, know the camera’s approximate “crop factor”.
Mirror image is actually accurate i asked all my family members they said i look same irl
If more people new this there would be alot less sucide rates
Relax bro it ain’t that serious

No it isn't its only for all the 12 yr old who are growing up with terms like "mogging", "mewing", "looksmaxxing",etc... Typical brainrot 😂
A possible explanation may be that mirror photos, the subject is prepared for them and can adjust their facial expressions. But mirrors are often going to have curvature, especially cheap, thin ones, and exaggerate features. A typical problem I notice is excessive widening of the face/body. Another problem with some mirrors, is that they don't reflect the proper light back, making one either two dark or with the wrong hue.
Certainly better than Brett Maverick's one.
Means a lot, thanks! Shoutout Brett
Ok but why do I look different in different mirrors ? Light refraction ? Size of the mirror ? WHAT ????
Its lighting and quality of mirr,or every mirror create with different things the ,flat mirror is the most accurate:')
When you take a selfie with your phone, the image is initially displayed as a mirror image, which is how you're used to seeing yourself and how others see u in real life. However, once the photo is taken, many phones reverse the image to match how others see you in person, and this is wrong because no one sees you as the phone reverses you, when we interact with people in real life, they see us as we see ourselves in the mirror
@@Dead00017
Nope the true mirror is the most accurate one by far
Mirror be looking hot tonight camera me looking like a snack but a bad snack

Give a proper explanation since reversed is actually how people see you, having a mole on my right cheek... In the mirror on the left and with inverted cam on the right 😂
Just accept the harsh reality or teach me something new
@@Levi-AoT Your problem i know the true the same way the people of my area too
@@Levi-AoTthe camera distorts the width of your face on your phone which can make look ugly af it makes the bad symmetry pop out more and just makes you look ugly I general try looking at your reverse self using mirrors theres a trick for that i think 😂
@@rafasevenk
As expected not one argument
At this point I don’t believe in nothing 💀💔
I know right?! Some people say the mirror is the accurate answer of how we look, then some people say that the camera captures how you look, or some other stuff.. I don't know what to believe!! 😭
How to see your real face :
-Selfies dont show real face also the mirror.
-Back camera of Mobile shows your real face but it creates your parts bigger than it seems in real life.
-The true mirror shows real of ypu ❤
I don’t get it wdym by true mirror.
@@nirogalactoid8398
Google "true mirror" takes about 10 seconds to find 😊
Its basically tree mirrors, one in the middle, the other two with a 45° to the middle one
i feel insecure taking selfie but not the the normal one taken by others
*Just take a 85mm/90mm lens mugshot to see the real you or to see what other people see when they see you.*
If you have a smartphone with a 3x telephoto lens, they generally have a 77mm lens so still very close to the real thing. But I don't trust smartphones due to their AI trickery.
*Now about choosing your face side:*
The side to which your nose tip is tilted or the side with a smaller eye is the side you should face the camera. Smaller eye side is more important than nose tilt or side with the hair part while choosing you photogenic face side.
*But as a rule of thumb to choose your face side:* Smaller eye side > Nose tilt side > Hair part side > Strong jaw side.
*It's generally the left side of your face that's more photogenic as per science as the right brain controls the left side and it's more expressive as a result.* But the above aspect I stated is more important along with this.
*Btw, as per science, people look at your right side of the face the most due to looking left bias of our right brain.*
Lastly, it's not the face shape but facial symmetry and facial features that makes a beautiful face. Golden ratio stuff basically.
*Unsymmetrical faces can also be beautiful depending on the facial features.*
Cheers 🥂
because of people like , i always make sure i go to comment section of every video. ty buddy
Tldr
Trust the mirror.
So the way I look in the mirror is how PPL see Me in my photos ??? Do they notice the symmetrical flaws that we see in the photos ?
They don't notice it since their brain doesn't recognize it ass odd - unlike you who see the image as "flipped".
@@looksschoolofficial what about in real life people see me like, they see asymmetrical flaws in my face ? i don't talkling about camera or photos i ask for in real life how people see me .
I look good in a mirror but terrible in my reflection in a window.
So... couldn't you just stand with someone by a mirror and see for yourself how the mirror distorts or does not distort someone's image? We see the same things reflected in the mirror as anyone else whether it's ourselves or someone else.
The mirror is more accurate than a picture/camera! I have tested this on myself and others!
I look so fucking good in the mirror but why camera brooo
Is this like when the camera adds 10 pounds and Chandler asks you just how many cameras were on you???
I god damn hate the invention of mirrors and cameras
Thank you for the awesome video! Very much needed! 👏

Never comment stuff like that again
@@melodysafo5437 what if it’s true
okay I understand that the mirror flips everything, but if I used 2 mirrors and it wasn't flipped...
then would that be accurate? or is it true that I make up some things with my brain when looking at myself in the mirror? am I uglier irl than in the "non flipped version" mirror?
But the image we see in mirrors is the reverse one compared to how people see us in real life. So the image we see ourselves in mirros is not how people see us irl. It is all wrong guys😅
In a world where most people are obsessed with selfies and posting photos of themselves everywhere on social media, I highly doubt this is true for everyone anymore.
Does putting hand mirror far away will distort my face??why do i look ugly when i see my face from distance in hand mirror
Replyyyy??
So pretty much only other people know how we look
Would be better if mirror was showing true image so we would be more accurate at grooming ourselves. Is there a way to see true image besides using a phone?
You could use true mirror.
@@Pooja-uo5zt true mirror ?? . Can you please explain it in detail cause i have big confusion about photo vs mirror
@@hirengamer9746 a true mirror is a mirror of 3 showing you how you actually look to others, now I have no real proof if that’s true so I can’t say much.
Get two mirrors and place them at a 90 degree angle. The image you get is what everyone sees
@@hirengamer9746 a true mirror is a type of mirror which doesnt reverse ur image!!!
Here is the real reason:
Your mirror lie to you because he knows that he is cheap and you can break him.
But your phone knows that he is expensive and you will not break him so he shows you the truth.

Idk about ur mirror but when I lift my right arm I see my right arm lol and when I do my left.
Yes but if someone looks at you at the other side where the mirror is then when you lift your right arm it will be your left arm in reality that you are raising
The best experiment would be to use a true mirror so that you get a proper conprehension
One of the reasons why we can look better in our mirrors or some other mirror ( like pubic bathrooms such as restaurants, etc ) is because of the lighting. Looking YASS and looking into a crappy florescent lit bathroom at some rest stop may make you cringe. It's all about lighting and most of us have good lighting in our bathrooms.
Pubic bathrooms? 😂
I look fat in pictures without my shirt on, but when I see myself in the mirror or reflections while at the water park etc, I look hella good 😂
Great video I learned a lot thanks
Appreciate it! :)
Yo simply ask yourself how often when you’re out and about about does someone face look distinctly asymmetrical to you and the answer is rarely…if ever. The same applies to you and what you see in the mirror. Our brains naturally correct for minor asymmetries in the face. The only reason we get shocked by the inverted filter is because our brains aren’t use to seeing and correct for our face that way.
Godbless everyone Amen
Great analysis and very informative video. Subscribed. 👏
Instruction unclear: i look different in different mirrors
The image from the camera always makes you fatter because the lens, the image in the mirror is always more beautiful because it is an inverted image. When I create a hairstyle that looks good in the mirror, I redo it in the opposite direction.
So when i post a picture of my self do u post it as flipped which looks bad to me or the otherway which looks good to me but its flipped for other people ????
I want to know this too
Answer this looks school please
@@_THE_FBI when you post a picture by flipping in horizontally it looks good to you and other als
I don't get it. When I look at people's reflections, they look different than they do when I look at them face to face.

OMG well.. i did suffer from bad acne as a teenager, especially on my forehead and my skin looks exactly like when in some lighting! at 8:12 , its the acne scars, & i think i got some slight pitting and it just looks all bumpy on my forhead. Strange thing is people have always said i had really amazing conplexion, almost like porcelain. Im very fair skinned, but i think it looks terrible :/

@@MeadeFatLoss I hope not. Because I'm sure one of those people who looks better in the mirror than on phone camera.
@@KevvaPMcK just perception
@@MeadeFatLoss LOL I look like crap on phone camera 😂
I look way uglier in photos than in mirror 😅.
just put another person in front of the mirror and look at them in the mirror and compare how you see them
using hand held mirror. While looking at my phone camera app and I look better with the mirror. Certain features I see better in the mirror. While on the camera i don't see those features and blemishes.
So for me to stop looking up this topic. I look better in the mirror and in real life vs camera phone/tablet. Maybe if I had a professional camera I might look different. I also look fatter on camera but in mirror I look buff.
Why don't other people look odd when you look at them in the mirror though? They don't. They still look normal.
@Trabsol
Worst explanation 😂
Ok but how much distance should we make from mirror to get more accurate representation like when i came too close like only 20 cm is left between me and mirror i look too creepy and ugly but when there is decent distance like an arms length away from mirror i look too handsome so which one is real
@Trabsol
Bit still flipped meaning reversed...
Yahhh each phone has different camera
guys technically the mirror shows a reversed image but logically people generally see you in the way you look in the mirror
it's just that your life side is the right side and vice versa. Otherwise everything is same, right?

im kinda in shock rn i was talking to someone for a bit i saw her in person and she said I looked diffrent but I dont really understand how cause inverted or not inverted I see myself the same on call the same, on pics the same but why not in person even in random reflections I look the same so honestly I dont know whats real anymore can someone help me undertand
Phone makes you look weird it distorts your facial features so just trust the mirror version its 100% accurate its just inverted which doesnt change your heads shape so people wont notice the what you do when you see flipped
I always thought my wife was more beautiful in person than in pucturee
Alright then, use two mirrors. The second reflection should be how you actually look.
Cameras make your face 2D. Front cameras are the worst. They distort your features
The world has reached Mars, and I'm still wondering if I look good or not.🤡🤡
Sure it has
i just wahcing video of cat having camera in her neck and walk around neighborhood,how the hell im ended up here ?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You hold all the power. Just keep telling yourself in the mirror you are so lovely. Personally personality overrides image all the time. Be kind and patient and nice to others and smile at them to make them feel good. You will forget about yourself and focus on others thereby being happy and o so lovely 🎉❤
The back camera of a phone provides a more accurate representation of how you appear to others in real life. Mirrors show a reversed image of yourself, which can be different from what people see. Here are the key points:
- **Back Camera**: Captures your image as others see you, providing a true-to-life representation.
- **Mirror**: Shows a reversed or mirrored image, which can be different from your true appearance.
Therefore, for an accurate depiction of how you look to others, the back camera is the better option.
Well, none of this applies to me, cos I’m good looking anyway 😬
I'm look better in mirror
whats that tiktok filter called ?
My face in mirror 😍🥰😘
In back camera 😐🤮😫🥴
Same thing but I am confused😢😢😢
I had to search for this because i took a pic of myself and i was like wtf is this 💩? Is this how other people sees me!?
😂😂😂
I look ugly either way😂
Why does everyone look like a fucking cartoon in selfies?
I’m still ugly no matter what l0l
😢 i feel the same
I have made my brother stand in front of mirror, he looks exactly in the mirror what he looks in real life. I also asked him to check me and he said I look ditto what I look in the mirror. I did it with more than 14 of my friends and they all said I look like exactly the same as I do in the mirror and they do too. You push a lot of BS because you need content for your videos. Most of it is cap.
When comparing a camera vs our eyes, we humans have two eyes and there’s a paralax effect. When we look at something, our biological camera lens is about 10cm in diameter. The best camera ever.
