60 people whose Instagram photos are so fake we can’t help but laugh

On the internet, we can be anything we choose to be. Thanks to tools like Photoshop, that is more than just possible.

So, do we go smaller, do we go bigger, or do we go for a poreless look? Or do we do our best to be our authentic selves and admit that we all have flaws that make us uniquely beautiful?

The following are sixty people who did not choose the authentic route, not even a little.

Check out these Instagram photo edits that will have you avoiding the use of filters forever.

#1 A little taller, a little thinner

Photo editing takes a lot of practice to get perfect. Before you reach that skill level, you may accidentally turn yourself into the undead girl from a horror movie.

#2 In game character

We all want to attain perfection. However, there is such a thing as too much.

When you start looking like someone from a video game, you have not actually reached perfection. You have actually gone too far.

#3 When you see it

Yes, she added filters to her face. That’s not what we’re looking at. Look at the face on the billboard.

#4 Intervention required

One filter might be okay. Using two filters is pushing it a little. This, though, this is going way too far. We guarantee she looked better without the filters.

#5 In the mirror

When you decide to photoshop your waist, make sure you’re not standing in front of a mirror in the picture. Or at least photoshop your reflection in the mirror too.

#6 Caught!

A whistleblower claims to have taken the second picture. We do have to admit that the legs look chopped in an attempt to keep the car’s lines perfect. Who would want to be caught distorting that car?

#8 It’s time to put down the crayon

Seeing what new hairstyles will look like can be fun. However, unless your stylist specializes in yarn hair, this photo editing technique will not be showing you what any future looks may be like.

Okay, it’s not just the shadow that gives it away. The wood is bending to the gravity of her new butt shape as well.

#10 Straight from a comic book

A little photoshopping is understandable. After all, who wants a profile photo with a zit on their nose? However, photoshopping yourself from head to toe might be pushing it.

#11 A few changes

Her photographer posted one of these pictures. She posted the other. Can you spot the differences? Really, the editing was completely unnecessary.

#12 Stretchy

Long legs are often considered attractive. However, in this case, they might also be an advantage when it comes to needing to step over tall fences.

#13 The limit

Photo editing is used a lot for slimming. The key is subtlety. SUBTLETY. This was just unnecessary.

#14 The magic

Photoshop can make you more chiseled, younger, smother…pretty much anything you want. However, do you really want to go that far?

This is supposed to be the same guy.

The more you look, the more bizarre photo editing you will discover. It’s like a never-ending gift.

This photo seems normal. The waistline seems realistic enough. So, what’s the problem? Look in the reflection in his sunglasses…

#17 No one is exempt

With all the money the Kardashians have to spend on physical trainers and plastic surgery, you wouldn’t think they would feel the need to edit a thing. You would be wrong. Look at the doorframe.

#19 He’s a doll

The problem with over-editing is that you eventually turn the subject into a mannequin. He has reached that level.

#20 Geometric

Sometimes, we like to see what we would look like with a little plastic surgery. It’s a good idea to stop editing at the point where the plastic surgeon would rather quit their job than attempt to continue.

Mugshots and license photos have one thing in common – they never look good. This woman decided that finally needed to change.

In a lot of shots of couples, only one of them will be edited. At least these two are sharing.

#23 She “nose” nothing

Noses are almost as weird looking as ears. We can understand why some people don’t like the ones they’re stuck with. However, erasing it might be going a tad too far.

#24 A little help

This is what happens when you don’t give the photographer any credit and say you took the picture yourself using a camera timer. The photographer’s friend rats you out.

She almost got away with some last-minute pixel makeup to hide a blemish. If only she had remembered that rays of the sun don’t normally bend like that.

When editing yourself into a picture, remember the shadows. Shadows are important. This Instagram user didn’t get the memo in time.

#28 No organs required

While organs can ruin the perfect picture, we all know you have them. We’re going to know the picture is fake if you’re missing a few vital ones and are still standing.
