40+ Influencers Who Went Above and Beyond in Photoshop, and Invented a Totally New Version of Themselves

A little photo retouching never harmed anyone. However, it’s important to make sure not to lose yourself along the way and become a fool for the world to see. Some influencers and social media users fall under that group! They have gone the extra mile to redefine the anatomically impossible results just to invent a whole new, unrealistic version of themselves. Here are a few examples...

Imagine you’re scrolling through your Instagram feed when this gal suddenly pops up! Yikes! Surely you'd be taken aback, are we right? Her legs are photoshopped to such an extent that they’re hardly recognizable. Maybe having unrealistic limbs online is the new thing in town. Or perhaps, the new fad is wearing shoes that are bigger than your thighs. That’s something to think about right there. So, next time you see something like this, don’t let the first half of the picture fool you!

Flexing can be cool as long as you don't end up making a fool of yourself. This particular influencer, or social media user, was caught red-handed when he claimed via Snapchat that he would never sit in the economy section of an airplane, all whilst sitting in economy. This hilarious moment is a reminder to watch yourself before doing something like this — ya know, if you don’t want to get caught by internet trolls!

This guy's motto is probably something along the lines of "the more unrealistic you make it, the better it is!" After all, body proportions are so outdated nowadays, are we right?! Who cares about looking realistic when Photoshop exists? Being famous and presenting the best, albeit edited version of yourself is what social media is all about, isn’t it? Sarcasm aside, this guy seemed to take this sentiment a little too literally.

Forget all the graceful ballerinas you've ever seen! Nothing can beat the shock this one offers you. This side-by-side comparison shows what the original photo looked like when it was uploaded to the photographer's Instagram page, in comparison with the influencer's version. It's quite alarming to see what kind of beauty and body expectations people have for themselves. Enough is enough, people. It's time to start loving yourself for everything that you are!
