Cosmetic surgeries, diets, corsets, girdles, heels or lifts, the human being has always sought to look perfect with all kinds of methods or 'tortures' available. That our physique does not convince us is a fact. As minimal as it is, we would all change something besides the thickness of the wallet, the height, a wrinkle here, a little more hair there. This is where Instagram filters come into the field, sweeping, of course, since looking better is at hand. Free and painless.
It could be said that the Snapchat app opened the ban with this filters, but of course, at first they were not beautiful. Dog ears and tongue, cat whiskers and nose, rainbow vomit, filters more fun than anything else. Although someone noticed the 'beauty' reef in which they could become. Although there are not only filters for the face, too.
The Black Mirror series predicted that, in the future, there would be people who would like to have filters applied in real life, but they were wrong with the theme. It wasn't the dog-eared one but the one on a Kardashian's face. The expansion of this concept had Instagram and now the filters are the subject of study, debate and even star in many consultations of aesthetic centers.
"I don't hide or hide it. Since they were available on Instagram I started using one that refined the nose and put Bratz doll lips. Now I have injected lips and I had a rhinoplasty, I still use filters, but not so radical, just that they give a touch of light or makeup, "says Lourdes with 10,000 followers on the social network and rising. He doesn't want to give his full name because he hides these tweaks from his followers.
