facetune:here to stay?

In my time back from college, I have been back on the subways a lot. And I have been seeing something very strange. Everywhere I go, anytime I sit down, I am surrounded by Facetune ads. 

This posed a dilemma for me: in the age of influencers being split between filters and being “natural”, which side will eventually win? Will our world lead us back to natural beauty, or will we be consumed in perfection and let the facade take over? 

I have been seeing a lot of new influencers pop up, and the new way to get popular is from preaching about health and going back to a more “natural” self. While these influencers are slowly growing, the grasp that filters have on the internet is still ubiquitous. 

But in the end, which will survive? Bellbottoms used to rule the world, and they made a comeback too. The world moves in and out of phases–is editing our pictures one of them? 

I think that the most realistic option for a world relying more and more on technology, editing our pictures will only become easier and harder to tell. But eventually, hopefully, we might phase out of it abd enter a new era or reclaiming the natural.
