Why do I look shit in photos or on the webcam?

I put my makeup on in the morning, I stand under a window so it's done in a natural light, I use good quality products. When I'm finished I stand back and while not a natural beauty I look okay, quite passable, reasonably attractive. So why oh why do I not take a good photograph? On photos my skin looks grey and I look older than my age, my eyelids look heavy and droopy and my nose is huge. I look like shit.

Is it true that the camera never lies, and I have a magic mirror in my bathroom telling me I am the fairest of them all.

I really want to look nice, it's been a hard year and I'm really trying to sort myself out in the grooming department.

Sorry NotTreadingGrapes but that made me laugh out loud. Apparently I have the look of someone that's had a little accident in photos.

Ha-ha-ha Grin. I wish there was one for my body! (That actually works!)

I am not the most unattractive person in the world. I am given compliments on occasion so I can't be all that bad.

BUT....I'm not photogenic in the least Confused. I always end up looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp and just despise having my picture taken.

So no, I don't believe the camera is always right but maybe I'm actually just vile and delusional Grin
