Apart from heavily editing photos with Photoshop, there’s now an increased interest in video editing, especially with apps like SNOW and Facetune2, which permit editing one’s body and filters that can make the lips appear bigger and the skin unrealistically flawless. As a result, most Instagrammers continually fakes it, attracting attention while showing that their lives are worthy of being looked at. 

It’s saddening that most tend to get away with the mentioned above while others don’t, thanks to the Subreddit named Instagram Reality. The community has since been on the mission to expose Instagrammers who have taken their edits way too LITERALLY. To really understand what we’re talking about, we’ve compiled some of the best photos the group has to offer for your perusal. Enjoy, and we do hope you don’t get manipulated in between.
