women can retouch photos in a matter of minutes.

The 28-year-old blogger, Amelia, has started a body-confidence campaign to
show women that it’s okay to be proud of their bikini bodies.

In a shocking clip, she shows how easy it is to use the Facetune app to nip
herself in at the waist and accentuate her waist.

Taking to Instagram to share the results, Amelia said: “Not your usual before
and after photo on Instagram – this ‘transformation’ was done with an
app on my phone in under 2 minutes.

“It’s scary just how easy it was to change my entire body and how realistic it
actually looks.

“We all know photoshop exists but I guess you don’t expect to see it on social
media as well as the magazines and everywhere else – so being bombarded by
all these ‘perfect’ photos can take its toll.”

She rounded up her inspirational post with the words: “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, no
photoshop required.”

Since she posted the tutorial video online last week, it’s been viewed over
7,000 times and Amelia has been inundated with messages of support.

A grateful subscriber gushed: “Love this video.

“I hope lots of girls and women see this and realise what women look
like in real life.”

Many commenters also agree with Amelia’s message that it’s important to be
proud of our bodies.

One Instagram user remarked: “Girls need to stop.

“We should love to love our imperfections.”

Another YouTube commenter agreed: “We need to show more love towards our
amazing bodies.”

It’s not the first time that an Instagrammer has tried to campaign for greater
body confidence on social media.

Earlier this month, plus-size model Iskra Lawrence was determined to
demonstrate how misleading the internet can be, so she posted two pictures
of herself posing in underwear side-by-side.

In one of the snaps, the blonde bombshell is standing up straight, but in the
other, she stands leaning slightly forwards in order to create the illusion
of having a “thigh gap”.

Gorgeous model Iskra, 25, who has over 1.8million followers on Instagram,
proved that you shouldn’t always believe everything you see online.
