There's something very unusual about this blogger's photo – can you see it?

Sometimes social media stars are called out by their followers for subtly editing their photos.

But this time around, beauty YouTube star Lauren Curtis kept it real with her followers about editing one particular photo.

To the naked eye, the sweet snap Lauren posted of her and her boyfriend looks totally normal, but there is something unusual about it – can you see it?

When he looks good in the pic you look bad in and you look good in the pic he looks bad in 😬 #whenyouseeit

The 25-year-old actually edited two separate photos of herself and her boyfriend, Reece, together as they looked “bad” in the unedited versions.

“When he looks good in the pic you look bad in and you look good in the pic he looks bad in,” she captioned the photo.

Upon a closer look, you can see the wallpaper in the background does not align, and their drinks don’t exactly look like they are cheers-ing, it’s more like they are glued together.

Just last week Lauren, again, kept things transparent with her followers showing how angles in photos can be deceiving.

She showed the difference between a “posed” photo and a “slouched” photo, but insisted “there is absolutely nothing wrong with either side”.

I’m posting this comparison for me as much as I am for you guys… I’ll explain why, but first let me begin by saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with either side! My body is strong and healthy and that’s all that matters ☺️💪🏻 I’m not saying there’s a big difference between these photos, I didn’t want to force my stomach out or stand in such a way that made my legs look completely different to how they would normally, I wanted it to be a realistic comparison because this change in my stance, regardless of how noticeable it is to you guys, actually played tricks on my own self esteem recently. I was scrolling through my old Instagram pics when I reached outfit selfies I had taken back when I lived in my Bondi apartment. My first thought was “wow I was so much skinnier than I thought I was, look at how tiny my legs were!” which then made me reflect on the fact that a) I have always been so hard on myself and the way I look and I’m so sad that I’ve always taken my healthy body for granted, and b) I didn’t realise I had gained ‘that much’ weight since then. These thoughts really threw me, because despite bad days that we all have, I’m generally happy with my figure because I know I work hard to maintain it (whereas back then I didn’t), so to see photos of myself where I looked different hit a sore spot I didn’t know I had. Finally I realised why I looked so much skinnier in these photos than I remember being in real life – I knew how to pose in such a way that slimmed my entire figure down, just like in the photo above, and that’s exactly what I did. Is there anything wrong with posing in such a way that flatters your figure? Of course not! But just like with everything on social media, always remember to take all of the photos you see with a grain (or bucket) of salt. My own photos tricked me and caused me to feel bad about myself, even if only temporarily, so I can only imagine how many people have looked at my photos (or anyone else’s) and compared my body to theirs and felt negative emotions – when in reality, my body doesn’t even look like that a lot of the time. BE EASY ON YOURSELVES BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 😚❤️😍

That’s what we love to see on social media, keeping it real and honest.
