There’s an argument of whether augmented reality makeup and auto-beautification features could lead to problems with self-esteem and self-worth in teens and young adults and damage young women’s perception of beauty, as the gap between comparing photos to the original and after applying can reinforce insecurities. However, we can celebrate the authentic beauty that lies in imperfection by switching the traditional beauty idea of makeup being covering up flaws to being imperfection, strangeness and realness is beautiful.
