A YOUTUBER has revealed the truth behind the perfect selfie… showing how
women can retouch photos in a matter of minutes.

The 28-year-old blogger, Amelia, has started a body-confidence campaign to
show women that it’s okay to be proud of their bikini bodies.

The app that makes Photoshop-style retouching easy is wildly popular with celebrities but has prompted a body image debate FaceTune lets users alter their selfies by adjusting the size, shape.
Facetune Video is the first video editing app designed specifically for retouching selfie videos. All your fave Facetune features are now available for video: smooth skin, whiten teeth, shape and contour facial features, add makeup and more. Creating an amazing selfie video is now easier than it’s ever been before.

In a shocking clip, she shows how easy it is to use the Facetune app to nip
herself in at the waist and accentuate her waist.

Taking to Instagram to share the results, Amelia said: “Not your usual before
and after photo on Instagram – this ‘transformation’ was done with an
app on my phone in under 2 minutes.

“It’s scary just how easy it was to change my entire body and how realistic it
actually looks.

“We all know photoshop exists but I guess you don’t expect to see it on social
media as well as the magazines and everywhere else – so being bombarded by
all these ‘perfect’ photos can take its toll.”

She rounded up her inspirational post with the words: “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, no
photoshop required.”

Since she posted the tutorial video online last week, it’s been viewed over
7,000 times and Amelia has been inundated with messages of support.

A grateful subscriber gushed: “Love this video.

“I hope lots of girls and women see this and realise what women look
like in real life.”

Many commenters also agree with Amelia’s message that it’s important to be
proud of our bodies.

One Instagram user remarked: “Girls need to stop.

“We should love to love our imperfections.”

Another YouTube commenter agreed: “We need to show more love towards our
amazing bodies.”

It’s not the first time that an Instagrammer has tried to campaign for greater
body confidence on social media.

Earlier this month, plus-size model Iskra Lawrence was determined to
demonstrate how misleading the internet can be, so she posted two pictures
of herself posing in underwear side-by-side.

In one of the snaps, the blonde bombshell is standing up straight, but in the
other, she stands leaning slightly forwards in order to create the illusion
of having a “thigh gap”.

Gorgeous model Iskra, 25, who has over 1.8million followers on Instagram,
proved that you shouldn’t always believe everything you see online.

In
an empowering post, she explained: “I’ll be the first one to tell you
pics are all about good lighting and angles.

“Always remember social media’s not real life never let anyone else’s pics
make you feel insecure about yourself.”

THE perfect bikini body once required months of disciplined dieting and regimented workouts. Now all it takes to achieve one is a few seconds and a smartphone.

An app called Facetune has made photo retouching a cinch for even the most novice of editors. With a simple tap, drag or pinch of the fingers, users can instantly score an hourglass figure — prompting droves of fame-hungry Instagram entrepreneurs to go under the digital knife.

“Everyone’s editing their photos. If they tell you they’re not editing their photos — if they tell you they’re not using Facetune — I’d laugh at them,” says Thania Peck, who boasts 122,000 followers on her fashion- and beauty-focused Instagram, @catcherinthestyle.

“I saw some [influencers] at Coachella in person, and it’s night and day [compared to their social-media feeds],” says Peck, who declined to give her age and admits to sometimes brightening her eyes and darkening her lashes with virtual assistance.

“I saw one that I thought was a mum until she turned around and I recognised her!”

The Facetune app has been downloaded more than 50 million times since launching in 2013, according to a rep from the company. Its easy-to-use tools can whiten the teeth, reshape the body and smooth the skin. And while apps such as AirBrush and VSCO also give users the power of professional-level photo retouching, Facetune is winning the popularity contest: The $5.99 version was the most-downloaded paid app of 2017.

Some users insist that their waist-slimming and ab-flattening touch-ups aren’t about vanity — they’re just part of the job.

“I feel like [photo editing is] almost a necessary step to continue your Instagram business,” says Las Vegas-based Catherine Lynn, a beauty queen who posts ads on behalf of brands including Fashion Nova and Flat Tummy Co. She figures that editing her photos saves time and money for her and the companies whose products she spruiks.

Lynn, who is prone to cinch her waist, add volume to her derrière and digitally apply makeup, tells The Post, “People can call it fake all they want, but in traditional marketing, the ads, commercials and billboards are all Facetuned.”

Part of the reason why photo editing has become so prevalent is because many Instagram users embrace the idea that social media is basically an alternate reality.

“This isn’t real life; this is Instagram,” a France-based influencer who goes by Shaya tells The Post. “I have had success in it because it turns out people don’t really care if it’s real life … People appreciate my transparency when it comes to editing.”

After adding “highlighter” to her face, she’ll elongate her legs and enhance her booty.

“It is surprisingly OK and trendy to have a flat chest, but not the butt,” says Shaya, whose Instagram account, @nxshaya, has 233,000 followers.

Some argue that digital perfection is damaging to the body-positivity movement more recently embraced by the magazine and fashion industries. About 70 per cent of Facetune users are women, its rep tells The Post.

“When I was a teenager, it was perfect images in magazines that would leave me feeling negatively about myself,” says Sia Cooper, known to her 1.1 million Instagram followers as @diaryofafitmommyofficial.

“Now we’re all glued to Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook 24/7 with a constant stream of what appear to be perfect images from friends, models, celebrities and other influencers.”

Cooper says she once privately used the app to slim her hips and thighs — but after giving birth to her daughter three years ago, she began publicly copping to the practice to set a better example.

She now creates posts on her feed that show her body pre- and post-editing as a warning to her followers that things aren’t always what they seem on Instagram.

“It is so easy to make your butt bigger,” she says. “I just don’t want people to compare [themselves to others]. You just don’t know what’s edited or not.”

Others have devoted their feeds to spreading the word that editing is rampant — and bad for your body image.

“I started to notice that these Instagram models and influencers were editing their pictures, and saw all these comments from girls saying they want that person’s body and would do anything to have it,” the 20-year-old Canadian behind the anonymous handle @exposing__ig_modelss tells The Post. More than 14,000 people follow the account, which calls out celebrities’ virtual body enhancements and looks for telltale signs
