It's all in the lighting. . . . .

OMG, that's exactly how it is with me! Sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like damn girl, you are one sexy beast, then I look in other mirrors and I literally look like some kind of a creature out of a horror movie. Lighting is VERY important. Generally, beauty shop mirrors are not flattering (you think they would be though, lol) because the lighting is flaurescant, which is the WORST KIND. Seriously, my eyes look all beady and it exaggerates my dark circles. The most flattering lighting in natural. Not bright sunlight, but normal, natural. It also depends on the angle of which the light is hitting your face. For example, I find that if it's hitting my face straight on, I look best, but if it's from an angle (like beauty shop mirrors usually have lighting from above), I look hideous. It's also the kind of mirror. Some mirrors make your face look longer or shorter or narrower or fatter).Most mirrors aren't very flattering, so don't worry, I'm sure you're pretty. People have told me I'm pretty too but for the longest time I was obsessing over the stupid mirror. You just got to give yourself the benefit of the doubt and trust the people;you are pretty.

that happens with me too. I think it depends on lighting, angle that you're looking from, and like the mirror could be tilted or something. I dont know. usually in clothing stores, they try to make you look thinner. well thats what I think. and it could just be your own opinion at the time, or changes in make up? I don't know. hope that helped?
