I tried Face App once, and was amazed that I could make my face to look like a mid 20 years old. And that is the problem for some people. They start to fall in love with a dream face that is totally unrealistic. I can never look like a 20 year old in real life. My daughter knows how to do contouring., and she did this kind of makeup to me once. I looked way younger once she was done, but I also felt as if I was in for treatment in an auto body shop, with thick layers of makeup on my face. That is OK for a photo op, but not for my daily life.
I think all those filters are critical, if the looks cannot be achieved with simple makeup.
They just create dreams that never can be achieved, and thus are always a source of lots of stress.
Let's face it, there are great looking natal people around, and not so great looking, why should that be different with trans people?
If I would doctor my picture up, and unexpectantly meet a person in real life, who knows me from my fake picture only. I think that person would be in shock, and any possible relation could suffer.
