According to this trend, the front camera distorts your facial features because the camera is close to your face. As a result, your selfies become inaccurate. So to see “what you really look like,” you should position your phone at a certain distance from your face and use the face zoom effect.
There is indeed a difference in the two ways of taking selfies. Makeup artist Eleanor Barnes (@babysnitchery on Tiktok) shows this in her video:
