We Photoshopped Away The Features We Were Most Insecure About And This Is What Happened
Our “flaws” are not always flaws.

Ever since we were girls, we have been surrounded by pictures of perfectly photoshopped women, their skin flawless and their eyes impossibly bright.
Since so many of us feel pressure to meet these unachievable standards, it's no wonder we are constantly picking ourselves apart. A few women at the BuzzFeed office decided to reveal the facial "flaw" they were most insecure about and to find out what would happen when we removed it with photoshop. Would we feel better about ourselves? Or would we miss the unique quirks that make us us?

Susan's feelings before: Ever since I was a kid, my family has told me that I have a face shaped like a "mantou" (that's a Chinese steamed bun, lol) — and I do. People always assume I'm way younger than I am because of these chubby cheeks. But after years of cheek-pinching from my grandpa and people telling me I look 12, I've learned to accept my face shape. That said, it's still something I'm hyperaware of, especially with all the photos of models and their defined AF cheekbones popping up on my Instagram feed. Unless I'm having a lazy day, I usually don't forgo bronzer and I spend a couple minutes every morning contouring.
