Will a real person become ugly compared to the image in the mirror?

This is because the real person is static, but you in the mirror are dynamic. This is the frozen face effect. The light in the mirror can beautify it a little, but the lens (such as a mobile phone) will uglify it a little because the focal length is still convex. Maybe because of the mirror, the middle part of the face will be closer.

In addition, people with long faces look better in round mirrors, and people with round faces look better in rectangular mirrors. This is a visual effect, just like wearing vertical clothes makes you look thinner, and wearing horizontal clothes makes you fatter. Same.

Psychologists from the University of California and Harvard found that people perceive people in videos as more attractive than screenshots of the same video. In other words, don’t worry even if you think you look awful in the mirror, others will think you look much better in person if you can move.

Compared with the image in the mirror, the real person feels ugly. This is your illusion. In fact, when you leave the mirror, the image you see becomes smaller, but the proportions remain the same. Compare yourself in the mirror to yourself in the photo. The self in the photo is closer to reality because the image in the mirror is reversed.
