"Instagram vs. Real Life" Makeup Makes You Look Twice

A new beauty trend - "Instagram vs Real Life" makeup - is ALL OVER the social media platform. The trend involves creating a makeup look on one part of the face, outlining it with a realistic Instagram frame, and leaving the rest of the face natural. The end result mimics a real life Instagram selfie, within another selfie. Dominic Porras started the trend last month with his post titled "picture perfect". His look, which resembled Insta-ception, has inspired other artists to try the trend. These posts are shining a spotlight on the work, lighting and possible editing that goes into creating a flawless selfie that may be difficult to recreate and helping spread the word that makeup doesn't have to be picture perfect. Here are a few of our favorite "Instagram vs. Real Life" makeup looks.
