Its amazing how much selfies at arms length or less can distort your face (no cope)

I cant believe how much it can change my ratios compared to the mirror.

In selfies with my wide lens camera (25-31mm) my face looks longer, narrower, my nose looks very long, UEE increases, jaw looks narrower.

Meanwhile when looking in mirrors my face is wider, my nose shorter, minimal UEE, jaw is stronger.

I even have compared my facial proportions by measuring the most important ratios both by using a selfie and by using a caliper irl, and the difference between them is so big.

BTW I can get more realistic looking selfies when I take photos at about 2 arms length. But if I go beyond that, I get the opposite kind of distortion, meaning my face looks more compact (wider) than irl.

u look like in the camera
 
I can attest for this.
My FWHR irl is around 1.9, ES ratio is 0.44, and midface ratio is 1.
In selfies, my FWHR is like 1.7, ES ratio is 0.47, and midface ratio is 0.88.

Is there a website/ app were I can see those exact measurements of my face?
 
Dude everybody knows about lens distortion or whatever here already

Do you dye or tint your eyebrows ?
 
Doesn't make any sense. Mirror is just literally you, and if it's different from camera it can't be right
A non distorted mirror has always been accurate, but people just have a subconscious bias towards themself because of the exposure effect, they overrate how good looking they are
