A woman has taken to TikTok to show us just how "fake" social media can be.
Holly Cockerill, better known by her username @hollycockerillmua, took to the platform to prove just how misleading photos can be through a series of before and after photos.
In one of the videos, the makeup artist posted a photo of herself with a full face of makeup on - lashes and all - and perfectly airbrushed skin. But that snapshot quickly followed up with the real picture that showed us she wasn't actually wearing that much to begin with.
Not only that, in the first picture it appeared that she had dark brown hair, but we soon discovered that she was actually blonde and had edited the color and style!
Is it really that easy? Of course, it is!
The makeup artist has an entire series dedicated to showing us the double life anyone could live on social media.
In the same video, we saw Holly edit a picture of herself in the gym. As revealed by the second photo, she had made her waist thinner and her butt look bigger as well as airbrushed her face to give her that flawless look we see far too often these days.
And yet again, it's all proven to be fake!
Another video shows just how simple it is to edit photos of other people too.
Taking a photo of her and her boyfriend, the social media personality showed us just how far editing can go. In one picture, she edited her boyfriend's entire face alongside hers so the pair looked completely perfect - not a wrinkle or blemish to be seen.
It was actually quite frightening seeing the difference in the two side-by-side shots.
Speaking to Bored Panda, Holly said that she started making "Instagram versus real life' videos after she fell victim to comparing herself to those on the internet.
"I’m guilty of always scrolling through Instagram and seeing ‘perfect’ selfies with the perfect life and it made me feel so bad about myself," she told the outlet. "I'd constantly compare myself to these fake images.
"I then started seeing accounts showing celebrities and popular influencers on social media versus real life, and I couldn’t believe the difference.
She then went on to add how this effects the younger generation: "Young people look up to influencers and want to be like them or look like them. And if those influencers are using an app that changes everything about themselves, then it’s making normal people question why they don’t look good enough."
So the next time you find yourself flicking through Instagram and comparing yourself to these influencers, just remember, the internet isn't real.
