The left side is pretty much how I look before I put on makeup.

I mean... this is a stretch. She looks pretty much the same, but with make-up, hairdo, and maybe a little fine-tuning. But it's not worthy of mockery, compared to what's out there.

this is a stretch

Exactly why the title is subtle. Here are some of her more wtf ones before she toned it back to what you see in the OP, regardless, none of them are near what she looks like in reality.

I don’t even think it’s subtle. I know she didn’t really go into uncanny valley territory with her edits, but she tweaked all of her features and the result is that she looks like a completely different person. I can’t imagine posting a completely altered photo of myself on the internet and expecting people that know me to think it’s really what I look like.

It doesn't have to be dramatic to be problematic. I mean, it looks like she took about 10 years off her face too, which is definitely Instagram vs reality territory.

So its obvious she has slimmed her face down (especially the nose), removed all wrinkles (around the eyes), smoothed her skin quite a bit, and whitened her teeth a lot. If you zoom in & compare the before & after, you can see the difference. However, it definitely isn't as egregious as most posted on here!

Bottom right is decent, at least she still looks human! But she has put the "young" filter in FaceApp on, among many other things.
