both are unaccurate to some degree, lens distorts and ur brain tricks u into thinking ur prettier in mirrors, most accurate is an ID pic or a pic with no distortion

a picture taken from far away right? or with a professional camera

there are curved or decorative ones that can have distortion

both work but higher quality = more depth to ur face so pro camera would be best

The back-camera will probably be more accurate, and more of a wake-up call. It has very little distortion, esp compared to the selfie cam so I don't think you can cope with back-cam: that is legit just what you look like.

A lot of people look better in mirror cuz their brain just tricks them/blocks out flaws, as this is the reflection you have been seeing for your entire life. Not to mention it blocks out any and all asymmetry. You need to see back-cam footage of yourself to see how you actually look like.

mirror is accurate but reversed, exposure effect plays into why people think theyre better looking than they are

pics from phones especially are pretty inaccurate due to focal length, ig a pic with a professional camera and focal length would be pretty accurate

another good way is true mirror method

Out of curiosity can I ask about exposure effect? What do you mean by this?

you tend to ignore flaws of things you see very often, i.e. your mirror face

people you see a lot like in school tend to become more attractive over time

exposure effect can go the other way too but if its looks related it tends to distort in a positive way

Oh i see. Yeah, do agree with this 100%, you will look good in the mirror cuz thats the same reflection you see all the time, so you would defs block out flaws
