Is there a gap between selfies and real people? Maybe it’s not because of the p picture

Some people are obviously not fat, but their full-body photos are much inferior to selfies without too much photos;

Some people look okay in real life, but they look weird when they take selfies. Own.

Well, after some comparison, let me summarize the two root causes of this problem:

These two points together cause a gap in aesthetics. And in reality, there are many people who have both of the above problems.

Let me first explain the inconsistency in appearance and figure.

Cheng Xiao’s face has a lot of inner corners exposed when viewed from the front, her eyes are small, her lips are thin, and her chin slopes steeply. The combination of these features makes her a "real-life version of Fu Jiang", and I wholeheartedly agree. ▼

(Praise for this sharp upturned eye makeup)

The eyes, the tip of the nose, and the face are all very pointed, plus the middle part of the upper part is flat + the nose bones are thin, which gives a "thin-skinned feeling" , it can basically be said to be the opposite of Lisa's thick sense. In terms of the sophistication of the face, it is really superior▼

And when viewed from the side, the nose bridge line has a slight hump, and there is almost no alar groove (because the nose base is high). This This kind of profile can easily give off a sense of coolness or even immortality▼

(This profile is a bit like Liu Yifei)

Seeing this, we can extract the key words of her appearance and temperament: sharp, sharp, Refined and cool.

These three words all point to the refined feeling of being far away from fireworks.

It can be said that not only does her facial features match the "cartoon face", but her appearance and temperament are also right.

However, looking at the figure, it is completely "solid".

There is nothing wrong with such a voluptuous figure, and there is nothing wrong with having big breasts. If you don’t believe it, look at Zhang Yuqi. Half of her beauty is due to her figure.

The real problem with Cheng Xiao is that both the look and feel of his limbs and neck, as well as the ratio of his waist to hips and hips, are very down to earth.

Such a figure must be seamlessly combined with an ungrounded and sharp "cartoon face" + a cold look▼

So what is an ungrounded figure? Let's take a look. Guan Xiaotong and Zheng Shuang will understand. This ratio can be called a three-dimensional "comic-like" figure▼

If Cheng Xiao wants to focus on the "girl who comes out of comics" character, then her figure must be like this Perception is convincing. It doesn’t matter whether you have big breasts or not, it’s best to have them.

This may be called forcing others to do something difficult

However, the real situation is even worse. Many of her fans also like to boast that she has a cartoon face and a plump figure.

As a result, her temperament in my mind is sometimes fierce, sometimes solid, sometimes cold, sometimes sensual, and the temperament and image are split in multiple ways▼

Of course, Cheng Xiao’s appearance is me Still highly recognized.

At the same time, because the temperament of appearance and figure are too strong and contradictory, it is difficult to integrate the two.

So I think her better approach at present is to focus on the temperament advantage of her face and put as little emphasis on the sensuality of her body as possible.

The following looks are all based on looks to create an overall cold and sharp look. I really like them and they are very recognizable▼

Except for Cheng Xiao, This kind of appearance and body and temperament are inconsistent, I also want to cue Shen Yue.

After careful comparison of her early eye-catching photos and updates (including passers-by and non-beauty videos), the face may only have been retouched with facial details and skin color, and there is no big difference in facial features.

(This is a picture I took from her behind-the-scenes video▼)

The key to really making her look good is the Japanese filter, which greatly strengthens the salty boy in her appearance. It creates a sense of lightness and lightness, and reduces the "rough" look and festive feel.

However, when the camera captured her short figure, the lightness and youthful look on her face were thrown out of the window, further amplifying the disadvantages of her appearance.

As a result, the contrast between the close-up of the facial features and the body and temperament is too great, and the audience will certainly feel that they have been deceived by her portrait.

Looking at Li Randi with the same body type, why is it generally accepted by passers-by?

In addition to her good acting skills, her appearance, figure and temperament are all very unified, warm and generous. There is no sense of lightness in her appearance▼

In other words, she is not. Beauty lies in the aura with a sense of agility, so it is expected that this kind of appearance does not match the slender figure▼

Therefore, when we usually dress up and take photos, we should also refer to the body style. .

For example, if you have a petite and cute figure, then if you retouch the selfie in a sweet and cute direction, even if you retouch it a little more, the difference between the selfie and the real person will still be very small.

On the contrary, as long as you go a little bit towards the cold lady feeling, it will easily make people feel like a completely different person, which will inevitably give people the illusion of excessive or tough p-pictures.

Let’s talk about the second point: Cheng Xiao’s face is very suitable for close-ups. It is definitely not as stunning when viewed from a distance as it is when viewed up close.

The more obvious reason is that the bridge of Cheng Xiao's nose is indeed very long.

For close-ups, the stunning half-profile angle cannot be avoided. However, when viewed from a distance or from a full-body photo, especially from a frontal angle, this advantage is not so obvious or even disappears▼

On the other hand, people with average nose bridge height but good facial proportions tend to look better in long-distance shots than in close-up shots, and selfies are less stunning▼

This point also involves another secret. point.

We mentioned before that Cheng Xiao’s facial features are very delicate and pointed. This feature made me think of Tang Yan and Zhang Tianai at the first time, but the overall feeling between Cheng Xiao and them is completely different to me.

In comparison, it may be because the distance from the end of her eyes to her temples is much wider.

This characteristic, like the wide distance between the eyes, has a great impact on the three-dimensionality of the face when viewed as a whole.

The fundamental reason is that it will lead to loose proportions and more white space on the face.

For example, Lin Yun’s face is very flat when viewed from a distance, as if only her nose is protruding, but in fact she has a very good three-dimensionality, and she is also the type who looks more stunning in close-ups than in full-body photos▼

The distance between Cheng Xiao’s eyes is not bad, mainly because the distance from the end of the eyes to the temples is far, which not only leaves a lot of white space on the face, but also the kind of white space that easily makes the face look bigger.

This naturally also makes her more suitable for close-ups.

Because when we look at a close-up of her face, we will focus most of our visual attention on her facial features and ignore the distance from the end of her eyes to her temples. Her face feels small and three-dimensional.

When you look at the face from the whole body, you mostly look at the proportions of the outline▼

Then, the distance from the end of the eye to the temple becomes as conspicuous as the facial features, and the face will look better than the close-up It looks a little flatter and a little bigger.

This distance can be hidden by selecting an angle when taking a close-up. Compared with not selecting an angle, it will really look like two people▼

Girls who have the same problem should learn how to make up their eyes. Lengthen the ends of the eyes, and leave transitions on both sides of the bangs for modification. Try to be more particular about common photo angles▼

Finally, we still have to talk about Cheng Xiao’s hairline and head shape.

Generally, this problem is not noticeable when taking close-ups of faces or selfies, but it is difficult to hide it when taking full-body photos.

Just like we have said before, the problem of large silhouettes in spring and summer also makes her full-body photos less stunning in close-ups▼

And I mentioned this in the end not because it is unimportant, but because It is difficult to deal with Cheng Xiao.

She is different from Chun Xia. Not only does she have a low skull, but she also has very little hair, a high hairline, and thin, soft hair.

This means that the bangs are high and long, and the hair is thin and thin. It is easy to stick to the forehead one by one, which is very uncomfortable▼

It is slightly better at this stage. The best hair style direction is to make the bangs more "airy". Move the starting point of the bangs in the picture above downward to reduce the amount of bangs. You can make it curled (but it cannot be oily, so it is still impractical)▼

The only complete solution may be to wear more hats▼

In short, girls with the same problem should not arrange their bangs into a bowl. 99% of them are not as pleasing to the eye as the casual hairstyle on the right▼

Okay, that’s all for today.

In fact, I have always found that some straight men or people who have not studied individual facial features feel that the selfies of girls are much different from real people. If I look at the facial features from my meticulous perspective, some The facial features in the selfie and the real person have not changed much.

It may be that the overall temperament is not as good as the facial features, so as long as the selfie is slightly retouched, it is easy to be labeled as a "photo scam". If these girls want to go further, they should focus on the outline of the head and face. Work hard on proportions and body shape. < /p>
