We Were Photoshopped Into Different Cultural Beauty Ideals, And It Wow It Was Weirder Than We Thought It'd Be

“I LOOK LIKE A SIM.”

Even if you really love yourself, it's tough not to look in the mirror sometimes and wonder what you might look like if x body part was just a little different. But beauty really IS super subjective, and to prove it, the women of Ladylike decided to get their bodies photoshopped to fit their respective cultural beauty standards:

Here's how Saf felt after seeing her photoshopped photo:

"At first, seeing my photoshopped body was kind of an “I Spy” game of what had been changed - I noticed the size of my thighs immediately but it took me much longer to figure out the other changes. I was surprised by how similar Indian beauty standards seemed to be to American ones! And how so many small changes can add up to this clone-y version of yourself: where you look like a person who looks like you but not like yourself. Even though it was somewhat jarring to look at, the photoshop made me realize that I don’t really need to or want to change my body to look more like it."
