While many choose to use Instagram to share their seemingly perfect lives, a select few have opted to use the platform very differently.
Bored Panda has shared a series of amusing pictures from the Reddit thread PrettyGirlsUglyFaces, where people from across the world are showing off their best and worst selfies.
In stark contrast to the glamorous pictures consisting of perfectly planned outfits, backdrops and filters, the reality snaps feature silly faces, poses and questionable pouts.
If these amusing snaps can teach us anything, it’s to not take life too seriously…
Model material! A Reddit user shared this snap of her best pose for the camera. But an unfiltered image shows her pulling a silly face and creating a rather different look
Trout pout! One lady underwent a serious transformation…just by sinking her head back into her neck and pulling a funny face
Feeling mouthy! Another Reddit user shared a mirror selfie where she can be seen in a figure hugging striped dress, alongside a more natural shot featuring a crisp in her mouth
Not such a specs appeal! This glam shot compared to the ‘relaxed at home’ look shows quite the transformation…
Spot the difference! One woman shared a selfie showing off her natural beauty, with another demonstrating the funniest face she could pull
Giving it the lip! One natural beauty shared a picture perfect shot alongside a more shocked face – which is the same expression we pulled when we saw the transformation
Band together! One woman looked completely unrecognisable after a hair band caused her eyes to puff up
Instagram versus reality! This lady’s comparison snaps show the difference between what she looks like on a night out, to how she looks chilling on the sofa
Feeling lippy! Another appears keen to demonstrate what your lips could look like before and after cosmetic surgery…gone wrong
Glassy eyed! The pretty selfie suggests this lady is at peace with the way she looks…even when she’s posing with her glasses in her mouth
Hair raiser! This before and after picture demonstrates the difference a picture can have on a good and bad hair day
Not quite the tooth fairy! This snap shows a lady flashing her perfect grin for the camera. But fast forward a few hours and the reality is a whole lot different…
