is this normal?

whats more accurate... mirrors or phone pics???

Answer 1

the reason why u come out pale is bcuz of the flash of course the mirror is more accurate i always think i look better in the mirror then when i take picture i look all weird but its all about angles the way u take a picture and stuff idk  

Answer 2

Well obviously the mirror is more accurate, because it's exactly what you look like. I have that problem too sometimes, we're just not very photogenic! X(

P.s. Turn the flash off

Answer 3

It is normal because with cameras, the are not accurate.  They alter certain features, plus when people take pictures on their own, the flash makes their skin look bright or pale.  That's why when you went to a professional, everything was okay because of the lighting and it is professionally done.

Answer 8

that happens to me alll the time!  and it kind of makes me conscious, lol.  but i think it's completely normal, it's just a matter of being photogenic or not.  i would say a mirror is more accurate, because phone cameras can't take a sharper image.
