I thought the rules for this submarine didn’t explicitly say no photo editing or filters of any kind, but so many of these posts have goddesses without pores, that I think I’m losing my mind. Do we have an influx of rule breakers, or am I just ugly?

I chalk it up to not knowing that there’s usually a filter built into your cell phone camera. I think default sets it up to smooth your face and people just don’t notice or realize. I think you have to go in and turn it off for it to take an unfiltered photo. I don’t actually.know how to turn mine off, but I don’t post photos, either.
Iām in the same boat. Iām middle aged with pretty bad bags under my eyes and pores the size of the Grand Canyon. I keep trying products thinking something is not right since I can still see my pores. I try every pore filling primer and nothing. No matter how hard I try foundation always sits on top of my skin, yet I have no idea how essentially skin paint is supposed to truly blend in. Over the past few years I am spent thousands at Sephora and Ulta trying to find that one product that makes me look like what I see. Either that or I am the world worst at applying makeup.
I wonder the same thing about myself sometimes. Then I think I must be wearing the wrong foundation or something.
It’s not always photo editing or filters. A good lighting and angle could make someone’s skin look nearly flawless. And anyway, it’s not a good look to assume that someone is skirting the rules just because they happen to have better skin, everyone’s skin is different and we also don’t know how much work they’ve put into their skincare routine too š
