Kara Del Toro exposes secret behind Instagram influencers\u2019 perfect \u2018mirror\u2019 selfies Instagram, @karajewelllWith social media discovering that Instagram influencers\u2019 mirror selfies are apparently faked, Kara Del Toro (known as Kara Jewel on TikTok) has revealed the secret behind mirrorless, perfect \u2018mirror selfies.\u2019 The mirror selfie has become a ubiquitous feature of the modern world, as the MySpace bathroom selfie trend of yesteryear has evolved into millions of dollars spent on sponsoring influencers\u2019 Instagram mirror shots. But, in what appears to be a dystopian revelation of sorts, social media is discovering that the spotless, high-definition selfies scattered across curated IG grids are, in fact, faked. Following a Reddit post on r\/Instagramreality, Twitter has joined the confusion \u2014 wondering if it\u2019s true that influencers\u2019 perfect mirror selfies don\u2019t actually involve\u2026 mirrors. The person best-suited to answer that question? Influencer Kara Del Toro herself, who boasts over 1 million followers on Instagram (as well as another 1-plus million on TikTok). In a detailed video, she puts all of Reddit and Twitter\u2019s questions to rest \u2014 perfect, spotless rest. i swear to god u guys are making this up bc there\u2019s NO WAY https:\/\/t.co\/RvC7l4Iv2h \u2014 sarah lugor! (@sarahlugor) March 14, 2021 As seen in the original Twitter reaction to Reddit\u2019s confusion, people are visibly confused. Reddit\u2019s u\/ffrhcp brought the information up, explaining the discomfort they\u2019ve felt after discovering the mirrorless aspect of mirror selfies: \u201cmy life has not known peace.\u201d On Twitter, others responded by saying \u201cwhat\u201d and, more colorfully, \u201cI swear to god u guys are making this up, bc there\u2019s NO WAY.\u201d Well, on the contrary, there is a way, and Kara has the expertise to share precisely what that way is. People have dug up an older TikTok of hers, in which she reveals the truth behind these \u201cperfect\u201d mirror selfies: \u201cThere is no mirror.\u201d For a series called \u201csecrets bloggers don\u2019t want you to know,\u201d Kara goes through pictures of her own mirror selfies and explains why the images all look so perfect. There are never any smudges and there seems to be a mirror in every room because there is no mirror, it\u2019s just a separate phone or camera set up with a timer. Additionally, Kara shares that the phone is just used as a \u201cprop,\u201d a sentiment that many people seem to understand. Not only are mirror selfies just an incredibly comfortable sight on social media by this point, but holding a phone also means you don\u2019t have to worry about what you\u2019re doing with your hands. View this post on Instagram So there you have it, if you\u2019ve ever wondered why influencers seem to take spotless mirror selfies against every possible background you could think of \u2014 it\u2019s not because they have incredible cleaning solutions or portable mirrors. It\u2019s because they\u2019re not using mirrors. Like the magic tricks at a child\u2019s birthday party, it\u2019s all an illusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
