Can one ever look better than who he or she already is? You know that it is a deception. Though this is my own submission. If I use filter for my pictures, it won't affect me physically. It would only affect the pictures in the phone. That means I have not done anything. I would have love to have a real physical filter that would change my look completely. That is how I see it. Filters are good for those who love using them. But as we speak right now I don't even know where it is in My phone because I don't use it. In fact, for me to participate in this contest I have to ask my son how the filter is being used. That is because I don't use it. Even though it is in my phone, yet, I don't use it to make my pictures beautiful. I no say I no fine. I can't change it. I have accepted it that way. Hahaha 😂. Monkey no fine, but him Mama like am like that.

WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR PICTURE, DO YOU APPLY FILTER TO MAKE THE PICTURE LOOK BEAUTIFUL?

Like I stated from the beginning, I am not a fan of filter. Maybe it is because I am coming from the old testament. That is the exact words my daughter will always use on me when I tell her that her picture looks like the picture of a monkey. She will say that I don't know what is invoke. Mummy, you are old school. It is our time. Allow us to use it. We love it. Hahaha 😂. I don't stop them from using it, but I think that I will be deceiving myself if I use it.

DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT?

That I don't use it doesn't make it wrong. Some love to use it. I can't say that they are not doing the right thing. Is also the same thing as make up. When you make a lady up, she show to people who she is not. The real her may not be that beautiful. Sometimes they go to the extreme. If you want to apply make, why not just do a light make up that will make you look beautiful and your real face will still show up. I love make up too, but just make it light. I know that no matter what I do, I can't change who I am.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DECEIVED BY SOMEONE'S PICTURE?
A lot of girls today wear a different face from whom they are. Sometimes when you attend a wedding of someone you know very well, you will be looking for the person and not see her just because of make up.
When my sister was to get married in the church. Very early on Saturday morning I had to be in the house just to make sure that things are moving properly. But I was shocked when the make up artist started her work. The person that I know became a stranger before me. I had to stop the make up artist and get someone else to do a better make up that will just enhanced the beauty, not to make her look like a monkey.

In conclusion, I believe that if we want to use the filter or apply a make up, it should be done maturely. Not in such a way that people will not recognize us again. We can sure use them, but we should remember that too much of everything is bad.

Thanks to everyone who came around. Your comments will be well appreciated.

I guess you are not a fan of filters despite it being a trend these days but application of filters has been simplified to the extent that we make use of it without even knowing. For instance every phone has a automatic picture enhancer installed in it, the moment you take a picture it will be applied automatically.

Well, I have seen a similar situation before during a wedding ceremony, I couldn't recognise the groom. I don't know if it was the fault of the graphics designer that designed the wedding invitation or the make up artist that did make up for the groom, his head was completely different from the picture in the wedding invitation card😂😂

As a woman, the fact that you mentioned the female gender as the male perpetrators of make up atrocities just confirmed my point, I saw a lady around Ikeja some months ago while coming back from work around 7pm, the make up on her face was so scary that I almost jump into the drainage beside the road😂😂😅.

I agree with your point, make up is meant to enhance beauty not to completly change the person face into a total stranger.

Thanks for sharing.

You are very correct. I am not a fan of it. But I guess I also use it without knowing. But is a kind of different from using it and make it look bad instead of looking good on us. We need to apply some wisdom when using it. If I use filter, then people should still recognize me when they see my picture.
Thanks dear friend for coming around. Do have a great week ahead.

... too much of everything is bad.

I agree with this statement. Some people go extreme with the application of makeup and filter. I take it as low self esteem if someone is not proud of his natural appearance but decided to be who he or she is not.

Yes, you are right. Using it too much is where the problem lies. If we can apply them very well, it will be very good on us.

Yes dear. We look very good the way God made us. Maybe some of us feel inferior that is why we apply them to step up a little.

Thanks for coming around. Do have a great week ahead.

Hahahaha see how make up transformed your sister you knew in the afternoon and suddenly you barely recognised her when she got to church for the wedding. That's why I don't so much like filters because of the pseudo presentation of an individual

That is it. We don't know how to use them. Even the filters. We just use it to spoil our faces that even the people that knows us will not recognize us when they see the picture.
