Where did the fashion of covering your face with your hand come from? What kind of fashion is it to take pictures with your hand covering your face? Body: Guitar Butt Curve

In real life, girls look completely different than they do on Instagram and Facebook. In reality, they have many more characteristics than can be seen in the photo: acne, double chins, fat asses, skinny asses, short necks, narrow foreheads, wide ankles, short fingers or small eyes, bad hair and, of course, all types of unfortunate breasts . We have put together an illustrated guide to typical methods of deception that girls of different ages resort to. Now, looking at a photograph of another languid rock woman, our readers will be able to understand exactly what defect it is hiding. Be warned: women are not what they seem!

Face: I'm so cosmic! (From 5 to 35)

1. Girls gaping in surprise or languidly opening their mouths. They seduce them and give unambiguous hints. And of course, they hide the fact that they have round cheeks and a strawberry-shaped face.

2. Girls smoke or hold a cigarette in their hand. By doing this they are telling you that they are vicious, distant and do not care about your pathetic opinion. In addition, a cigarette serves as a reason to put on a duckface and not be considered mentally retarded. The face, photographed through cigarette smoke, gives the girl the coveted witchy mystique.

3. Photos taken while eating or drinking through a tube they legitimize the same duckface and retracted cheeks and indicate missing cheekbones. Although the faces still look like chicken butts, only with tubes stuck into them.

4. Blurred focus turns the girl into an ephemeral, unattainable creature. An unclear, blurry appearance, a phantom girl.

5. Elongated neck and tilted head indicate a tremulous nature, a double chin, Venus rings and an unfortunate oval face.

6. Sacred overexposure, one of the main salvations for those with pimples, easily turns any collective farmer into a radiant goddess.

7. Hair covering the upper part of the face, arm, covering the bottom, a flirtatious facepalm or a cap visor pushed down shows that this deceitful negligence is carefully verified. Perhaps the girl has a narrow forehead, a sloping chin or an overly large nose.

8. Half of the face in the photo means an inescapable longing for the lack of facial symmetry. Rest assured - you were shown the better half, the one with a larger eye, a higher eyebrow, and a less protruding ear.

9. Taking photographs in profile with a raised chin and raised eyebrows in surprise, the girl hopes for the comment “Nefertiti!” God forbid someone should take a photograph of her lowering her head and showing the world her second or even third chin - you will be burned in hell.

10. Photo without makeup in contrasting morning light revives corpses. At the same time, the girls try to make their facial expression dreamy and childish. People should know how defenseless you can be. Sometimes. Alone with myself and the camera.

11. Squint and three-quarter turn corrects bulging eyes and an unsatisfactory thick nose. If you also look into the distance with a seemingly absent-minded gaze, the success of the photo is guaranteed.

12. A glance from under your brows makes any thing look dangerous, removes a low forehead, square face and heavy chin and gives the eyes the desired expressiveness.

13. Selfie taken at arm's length from above sharpens features and dramatically defines the oval of the face. A selfie from below with hair in the lens will create the effect of a cute, gentle creature and compensate for the lack of hair.

Body: Guitar Butt Curve

1. Even young people have ugly breasts. Sometimes the boobs are not just dull, but also vary in size. Ways to fix this: show a piece of breasts in the neckline of the sleeve of a dress, where they are guaranteed to look firm and perky, or put pressure on the breasts, making them appear round.

2. Collarbones are the dream of all modern girls. They create a neck line and always distract from the lack of breasts. You can lean forward with your shoulder (or both) or raise one shoulder, combining this gesture with a sideways glance.

3. Danger: fat hand. A fat hand, like a nightmare, haunts any girl - everyone has it, even the thinnest. It appears if the shoulder is adjacent to the body. Therefore, it is better to put your hand behind your head or pull it back.

4. Chiffon rags and translucent draperies will hide the figure of any aspiring druid with the beginnings of cellulite or short legs.

5. Thick ankles make it difficult to create a full-fledged sexy dramatic look. The unfortunate owners remove them from the frame in any possible way: hide them under a maxi, crop the frame, put on high boots, tuck their legs under them.

6. Girls know that magical arch creates an illusion a waist that never appeared, makes sad breasts look cheerful, and flat butt protrudes.

7. Taking off my own legs girls either lift them higher or manage to turn their body so that the most advantageous view of the thigh gets into the frame. As a result, instead of the carrots from the photo, a young gymnast is looking at you.

Face: your eyelids are begging for a scalpel (for older girls)

1. Wrap a towel around your head, creating the effect of a circular lift. Overhanging nasolabial folds disappear, the shape of the eyes lengthens, the eyebrows arrogantly creep upward, lifting the drooping upper eyelids. And of course, life-saving glasses for half the face if the day is not going well at all and the eyes have lost their sparkle.

2. Putting a mask on your eyes(best of all lace) to give yourself a special mystery, so necessary when you already have something to hide. In addition, the mask will hide all skin defects, wrinkles and a simply tired face. The heavily exploited image of a femme fatale is going out of fashion, so this is rarely done: rather, in order to put the photo on a userpic.

4. They hide part of their face behind the person they are taking pictures with, imitating some shyness and playfulness. It is difficult to judge from one eye and half of the nose how much the face has changed over the past couple of years, despite annual detoxes, cosmetologists and spiritual practices.

5. Unnaturally wide smile or supposedly they laugh cheerfully and carefree, with their mouths cherished by an expensive dentist, convincing others that life has been successful and will continue to be successful.

6. Well girl's main friends two trouble-free ways to improve yourself: a friend much older than you and a friend much scarier than you.

Body: gravity, you heartless bitch

Rays of light, bears, cats, emoticons and the “blur” function today they are used not just as a way to decorate a photo, but also as a means of “protecting” a child from prying eyes. Many young parents, from Sergei Lazarev and Ksenia Sobchak before and, they try not to show the faces of their children or even deliberately hide them. Some do this in order to receive a hefty fee for the debut of a baby on the cover of a tabloid - however, they usually donate the money to charity. It’s not only celebrities who hide the faces of their children: ordinary people do the same, whose photos are of no interest to gloss or fans. Let's figure out what's behind the smiley faces on children's faces and why more and more people are photographing babies with their backs.

Evil eye and safety

“Finally baptized!” - a young mother writes on Instagram, posting a photo of her baby without a sticker over her face for the first time. In Russia, it’s true that children are often “hidden” from others for superstitious reasons. For example, some Orthodox people believe that a child’s face can only be shown forty days after the birth and, of course, the baby’s baptism.

This is just a continuation of mystical beliefs such as the fact that it is better to cover the stroller with a thin sheet so that the neighbors do not “bewitch” the child. Muslims from post-Soviet countries also protect children from the evil eye on the Internet - for example, in Kazakhstan they don’t really like to show the faces of small children on Instagram. But this behavior has little in common with religiosity; rather, it is associated with everyday prejudices.

However, sometimes people are afraid of more than just “evil glances.” “I post a photo of my child with his back - as a matter of principle, I don’t allow strangers to know what he looks like. My husband has a business, and there are different competitors - I don’t want the child to end up in some unpleasant situation because of this,” says Tatyana, who also prefers not to show the child’s face on social networks.

Safety (both of the child and his personal data) is perhaps the most obvious reason why people may hide children. When posting photos on social networks, we do not always read long agreements, losing sight of the fact that other users will be able to use our photos, including for commercial gain. Activists of the international campaign “Everyone a Spy” decided to draw attention to the problem by opening the online store Koopie Koopie. On the platform, it was possible to buy cups with random images of children found on the photo hosting site Flickr, which is not prohibited due to the service’s privacy policy. So Koopie Koopie campaigned for more responsible use of social networks.

If the refusal to show a child's face is motivated by fear of kidnapping, abuse, or threats, parents usually act differently than those who fear the evil eye. For example, actress Jenny Mollen says that she would rather post a photo of a small child than an older one: “I don’t show a photo of my eldest son because I don’t want him to be recognized, insulted, or in any way interfere with his everyday life. At the same time, I can post a photo of my youngest son, because he doesn’t leave the house every day yet and it’s unlikely that anyone will recognize him.”

Anastasia says that as a public person she faces threats from readers of her materials and does not want to expose her child to potential danger. She worked as a reporter for the crime department and is sure that aggressors often track victims on the Internet: “I had a case when the press service of one of the law enforcement agencies showed me a video of the arrest of a repeat offender pedophile. And I noticed that at the time of his arrest, a video with TV presenter Elena Khanga was turned on on his computer. Then I found this program on the Internet - it turned out that her daughter was also filmed there. I became even more interested, and I decided to check if it was possible to find their address. I found an interview with Hanga herself - she told me what famous house she lives in and that she sent her child to the nearest school. We also managed to find her daughter on social networks with home photos and a dog. All! A child can be tracked from the door of his house to school! This made such a strong impression on me that after giving birth myself, I became very careful.”

Fear for a child can be completely justified, so experts offer several rules if you still want to post a photo. The easiest option is to use closed albums or a private account. “I am very attentive to privacy settings and have always perceived Facebook as a place to communicate with those closest to me, and not all sorts of old acquaintances,” says Sarah, who posts a photo of her child in a closed album.

When posting a photo of a child, it’s worth thinking about the appropriateness of the photo itself and the caption: “I’m already seeing examples of parents for some reason talking about their child’s first period or first hair on their armpits,” says Blair Keinig

However, not everyone is ready for this kind of restrictions, for example, if we are talking about a person for whom social networks are a job. In such cases, covering your face is still the most convenient option. In addition, many people do not trust social networks in general. “Even with privacy settings, I can’t safely post a photo of my child. So let the photos of my daughter be cute, but blurry,” says Katherine.

You don't have to share your child's personal information. “You shouldn’t talk about his date and place of birth - give out information that could go into a file or be contained in personal documents, and also put a geotag on a photo with a child,” says Victoria Nash, acting. O. Head of the Oxford Internet Institute. In general, experts advise reducing the amount of information by which a child can be found on the Internet or in real life.

Privacy and respect

However, even if you are not afraid of anything, you can think about the child’s privacy simply out of respect for his personal boundaries. Even the ironic term “sharinting” (from English share) has appeared to rhyme with “parenting”, implying that now parents do not educate, but mainly discuss their children on social networks and publish their photographs.

Some parents consider it unethical to post photos of their children without their permission. “I don’t consider myself to have the right to manage photographs of my daughter for her and I always imagine what she will say about this when she grows up,” says Anastasia. Actress Zoe Saldana is guided by the same principle: “I don’t want to hear sixteen years later claims that I was disrespectful and published photos of a person who could not refuse.”

When posting a photo of a child, it is worth thinking about the appropriateness of the photo itself and the caption to it. “In a few years, we may see parents sharing too much about their teenage children on social media. “I’m already seeing examples of parents for some reason talking about their child’s first period or the first hair on their armpits,” says Blair Keinig, author of a popular blog about parents’ overkill on social networks. Growing up is an anxious and intimate process, so joyful parents should remember the comfort and respect for the teenager’s personal boundaries.

Experts advise using the “blur” function not only for ethical, but also for career reasons. “I see a scenario in which photographs of a child at the age of four will be supplemented by those taken six years later, and will also be linked to his Facebook profile. It's a bit of a stretch to imagine that such a dossier would haunt people endlessly and be used by colleges to make final admissions decisions or by banks to approve mortgages, said Alice Marwick, a professor of media studies at Fordham University in New York. By the way, in this case, journalists from the American ABC channel recommend not signing photographs of the child with his name - this way, search engines are unlikely to show them on the first page.

Communities and identities

A natural question arises: why post photos at all, worrying so much about the evil eye, safety or personal space? Halle Berry says, "I try to find ways to include my kids in my feed because they are the most important part of my life, but I also try really hard to maintain their privacy because they are just kids."

Tatyana agrees with her: “Of course, I could not post photos with my child at all, but he is part of my life, and I still post especially valuable moments, even if my face is not visible in the photo.”

Psychologist Daphne de Marneffe, in her book Maternal Desire, argues that we are constantly dealing with a change in identity. But when people become parents, they are forced to combine a new role with an old image on the Internet. “This is a perfect example of the contradictions in social roles that you have to cope with when you have a child,” says de Marneffe.

Photos of a child help to mark their transition to a new quality or become part of a new community of parents, make new acquaintances, get advice and go through an important stage of socialization, in particular on social networks. And whether to cover your face or not - everyone decides for himself, based on his suspicion, superstition or ideas about boundaries.

Researchers at Columbia University have calculated that only 9% of people under 30 are completely satisfied with how they turn out in photographs. Others consider their poses unnatural, their smiles strained, and their image as a whole not true. Psychologists and photographers, on the contrary, unanimously say: the way we appear in a photograph is much closer to reality than the image in our head. Alexey Tryaskov, head of the photo service of the publishing house Sanoma Independent Media, admits: one of the biggest difficulties is that a person sees himself in the mirror all his life and gets used to this particular image. Reflection is an improved, inverted (the sides of the face in the mirror change places) version of our image. The real picture can only be seen if you look in two mirrors: the secondary reflection is that very true image - unusual for us, but much more familiar to those around us.

Besides , in the opinion of Alexey Tryaskov, during photography, all our tensions appear, which are not so pronounced in everyday life. His opinion is shared by candidate of psychological sciences and business coach Lyudmila Gorodnicheva: “Photography is a model, a cast of the behavior that we demonstrate in reality.”

LOVE YOURSELF

According to psychologists, everyone has their own photo story. We collect personal photographs and, based on what we see, draw conclusions about which angles we look best from. This is exactly how, ideally, a favorite pose should be formed, but in reality we squeeze, copy or even express deep messages hidden from ourselves - with facial expressions, gestures, body movements. Alexey Tryaskov calls his favorite pose “a stereotype of his beauty” - something that a person “invented” for himself. After all, we do not take into account that the angle in which the photographer sees us may differ significantly from what is perceived in the mirror reflection.
Lyudmila Gorodnicheva explains: the way we pose is largely determined by the appearance of our ideal self - that is, what we want to be, what we strive for. According to her, the clips in the photographs demonstrate a deep internal conflict: a person rejects himself as he is now. The ideal self is formed through the media, fashion trends, television: they dictate to us how we should look, what we should say. While waiting for the moment when a bird “flies out” of the camera, many unconsciously copy poses, gestures, and movements that are popular in their respective social circles. In the case of a global discrepancy between the ideal self and the real self, a dislike for photography arises: a person is afraid to again look different from what he would like - hence the stiffness and affectation. This means that, first of all, you need to cultivate confidence, learn to accept yourself with all your individual characteristics. In addition to fashion and mass media, the formation of favorite poses is influenced by the desire to imitate within us. We unconsciously imitate those we respect and admire. Imitation is one of the ways to achieve the desired goal: by thoroughly getting used to the role, you can really appear to be who you want to become. This was proven by their research by a group of psychologists - Dana and Amy Carney, Amy Cuddy and Andy Yap. They asked the subjects to take two poses: open, demonstrating power and strength, and closed, showing that the person doubts himself. People who adopted a pose of confidence were more willing to take risks, moreover, their blood hormone levels even changed.

But in the case of photography, everything is not so simple: you need to have time to feel the pose, make it your own, and not try to portray it for the first time under stressful shooting conditions. Photographer Anna Makarevich believes: when we want to show ourselves in a certain way, an internal dialogue occurs. Where to put your hands? How to place your feet? What position should I take? “The whole trick of photography is to have an external dialogue: between the camera and the subject, the photographer and the model,” says Anna. — Internal disputes between a model during a shoot are always bad. It shuts down all interaction.”

Sometimes it seems that taking a good pose in front of the lens is not enough, and then we start moving - shifting our arms, putting our foot down, jumping... “Conscious movement in the frame is always an attempt to stand out: dynamic objects attract attention,” explains consulting psychologist and systemic therapist Elizaveta Levina. If during the photography process you don’t know where to put your hands, this reveals anxiety, as well as ignorance of your personality, an inability to position yourself not only in the frame, but also in society. Lyudmila Gorodnicheva confirms: “People who know and feel fully themselves, as a rule, do not have problems with photographing: open poses and gestures, heads held high.” Jumping demonstrates an attempt to go beyond boundaries: those who jump in the photo are positive, open, creative. This is an attempt to express oneself through movement. For those who like to take pictures in this way, it makes sense to take a closer look at your life - is there enough creativity in it?

HOLD YOUR FACE

The clips in the photo are typical not only for the body, but also for the face. Alexey Tryaskov sees the reason in the so-called “emotional dissonance”: “The photographer wants to extract an emotion of fun, happiness, tenderness - pleasant, worthy of being captured, but a person depicts something else. But not because he’s harmful or stupid, but simply because he can’t relax.” At the moment of photographing, a strange mixture of emotions that we want to show and the feelings that we actually experience at that moment often appears on our faces. American psychologists Carol Barr and Robert Kleck argue: usually it is not possible to express even half of what, in our opinion, should be written on the face. But we demonstrate what we are not aware of: behind a grin, for example, there is often an attempt to show oneself as a cute, harmless and lovable creature.

Lips are generally our weak point - they tell more than we want to tell about ourselves. According to Lyudmila Gorodnicheva, lips in a bow are an indicator of a weak personality, unable to resist imposed stereotypes. As soon as the fashion for a sensual mouth emerged, many girls, regardless of whether it suited them, began to portray just such lips. “This is again the search for the ideal self,” says the psychologist. “We catch the wave, copy trends, but we don’t think about how much it corresponds to us, how much it’s ours.” Photos with pursed lips indicate inner stiffness.

Pursed lips, according to Elizaveta Levina, demonstrate a desire to hide one’s feelings under a mask of indifference. As a rule, they appear in photographs of those who like to control the process.

A raised chin shows a degree of self-confidence. But if it is lowered, it indicates that the person is depressed and feels internal discomfort. If the chin is constantly drooping, the person may have a lot of problems.

Some people like to make faces and grimace in front of the camera. This behavior may be the result of various psychological mechanisms. The most obvious is the same copying, which mainly manifests itself at a young age. Comics and cartoons are filled with characters whose faces demonstrate the fashion for exaggerated ugliness. Making a face in a photo is also the easiest way to attract attention and show your difference from the mass of people around you. However, sometimes a more subtle mechanism is at work: a person thinks that a grimace will look funny and amusing in any case, while his real calm face may not seem attractive enough. “It’s unlikely that the person grimacing is aware of this, but this is how he simply protects himself from disapproval, from rejection of himself,” explains Elizaveta Levina. Of course, it happens that the reason for grimacing is inner courage, a good mood and a desire to briefly relapse into childhood.

But most often people make faces that are personally immature and infantile, notes Lyudmila Gorodnicheva.

ATTENTION, PANIC!

Sometimes the clamping mechanism is quite obvious: “A minute ago the person laughed, joked, and was adequate. But as soon as you point the camera at him, his face changes dramatically,” says Anna Makarevich. At such moments, we convince ourselves that being embarrassed is unconstructive and frivolous. And thus we fall into a trap we set ourselves: the pressure only intensifies. The photographer’s task in this situation is to stop shooting, in any way to switch the person’s attention to something pleasant. Anna Makarevich, for example, offers her models a drink of coffee, unobtrusively touches their hands, shows photographs on the camera display - affects the physical and emotional sphere. Alexey Tryaskov, in a similar situation, also tries to switch attention, but activates logic: he asks the person to talk about his favorite films, family, and features of his profession. Both photographers, in different ways, do essentially the same thing: relieve tension by creating an atmosphere of comfort and mutual trust. By the way, it is advisable to take care of it in advance - especially in difficult cases. It’s good if the photographer and model can meet and discuss the concept and details of the future shoot. But what you definitely shouldn’t do is practice in front of a mirror, memorizing poses and grimaces. The worked out positions are unlikely to coincide with how the photographer sees us, and the internal panic will only intensify. “It’s like communicating with a doctor,” Alexey Tryaskov draws an analogy. “You don’t come to the doctor with the words: “Doctor, I have a sore throat, write a prescription for such and such a drug.” Let the professional decide for himself how best to show you.”

Anna Makarevich believes that an initially positive attitude is necessary: ​​“During filming, you don’t have to think about how things will go wrong again. Otherwise, all the invented shortcomings - a crooked nose, closed eyes, a fat belly - will really appear.” In a word, as long as a person thinks that the photo turns out bad, so it will be. By the way, professional photographers only partially confirm the widespread myth that a small dose of alcohol - for example, a glass of champagne - helps to relax. “This only works if we are talking about everyday photography, and the dose of alcohol should be really minimal,” warns Anna Makarevich.

NAMED NARCISSUS

Problems with self-esteem always prevent a person from presenting himself competently in a photo. Photographers note that working with narcissistic people who are in love with themselves can be difficult - they rarely listen to other people’s opinions. At the same time, between an overly strict perception of oneself and narcissism there is a fairly wide field, the existence in which
makes life much more comfortable. According to Anna Makarevich, a person who treats himself with love almost always looks great in photographs, regardless of the type of shooting (domestic or studio) and whether he is posing or not. Elizaveta Levina agrees with her: “If you don’t know your strengths, you don’t know how to position yourself, you definitely need to do something about it.” Unconscious copying of others, internal conflicts, self-criticism are indicators of global uncertainty, doubts about the correctness of the chosen path. Internal clamps not only prevent you from taking good photos, but also take away many opportunities in real life.
“A constrained person who does not work on this and does not change in any way limits himself,” warns Lyudmila Gorodnicheva. “He puts a taboo: I’m not fit here - I don’t have good looks, this partner is not for me - he looks better, the specialty won’t suit either, because it requires a presentable appearance. I would like something simpler, worse.” Take a look at your photo history: perhaps you are depriving yourself of the best because you don’t believe that you truly deserve it?

TEXT: Lana Volokhova

    It is necessary to explain to these ladies whether they are going to go over to radical Islam. First they cover their faces, then they will start wearing hijab and niqab... Under such photos you should ask more often: Girl, could you fall in love with a radical? - For what? - the girl will answer and she will be right!

    Please note that you yourself wrote that all persons under 20 years old in the photo have their face covered with their hand. So, I dare to suggest that all these people from the VKontakte site are still unformed personalities who do not understand what is normal and what is abnormal. They stupidly follow the herd effect. Someone who has a lot of subscribers could one day take a photo in such a pose and post his photo online. Subscribers started liking. But our young people think primitively: if they liked it, it means it’s fashionable. So there was a wave of photographing with a covered face. It's fashionable!

    After all, mind you, adults don’t do that. They are reasonable people and mature individuals. It’s okay, it happens to everyone, they outgrow, change, grow up.

    A gesture when a person in a photograph covers his face with his hand, or, alternatively, holds his hand to his face (touches his hair, holds his headdress, holds a glass, a cigarette) is regarded in psychology as an attempt to hide the truth.

    All people, not berms... Soviet upbringing, and countries where there is no Internet... EVERYONE IS INCLINED TO GLORY, and the second word, in this chain... it’s just terrible how they want to be in the TREND... there is, a gray mass, but then it appeared feature, and they are trending for a week.... in my opinion it’s funny...., posting your unremarkable CLOSED face, because before the trend everyone was in the gray mass on the Internet... PEOPLE, BE YOURSELF, NOT STUPID PUPPETS!!!

    A selfie without a face, when young men and women cover their faces with their hands, or half their faces, or their mouths, eyes, in photographs, is just another fashionable feature (like duck lips in past years). This fashion will pass, another will come to replace it. There is no logical explanation for why teenagers cover their faces with their hands in the photo other than the herd feeling.

    They were already tired of the duck lips, and therefore they came up with a new pose, when the hands cover the face, this adds mystery, some understatement to the face, the person does not fully reveal himself. This could be an imitation of celebrities, one did it and everyone else picked it up. And some people don’t want to show their face or some part that they consider ugly and imperfect, for example, their chin or lips. Or when part of the face is damaged, when you want to take a photo, but, say, your lip is broken.

    This fashion comes from the world of graffiti. This is how artists who create graffiti are photographed in order to show their new creation online, but at the same time remain incognito, because their actions are contrary to the law, as a result of which they are persecuted by law enforcement agencies.

    Nobody knows what most famous graffiti artists look like. They are often recognized by their style or so-called. tags, this was the case before, but now, when most people are online, graffiti artists attract their attention there, posting photographs of their works on their pages, but, as I said above, in order to remain incognito, they cover their faces in these photographs.

    Well... this is even better than a photo of a sponge with a straw

    As for me, it’s better to cover your face than this :)

    and where the fashion for a covered face came from, I can only guess: one of the celebrities, unable to withstand the light of the flash or not wanting to appear on camera without makeup, covered their face... the photo nevertheless leaked to the Internet and everyone took it for a fashion feature.

    Eh, you can’t keep up with fashion! I looked for a while and couldn’t understand why all the girls and boys cover their faces with their hands, but hand changed lips)), several years ago, someone pouted and took a selfie, after which there are a lot of such photos on the Internet to this day. And today almost all teenagers take selfies without a face, cover their eyes, lips with their hands, or even cover their entire face.

    This fashion appeared only a few years ago, no one knows where it came from, I think that someone just didn’t want to be photographed and covered their face, I did this myself when my friend tried to take a photo of me, and later it was perceived as something... that's glamorous.

    They try to be mysterious, saying that only their eyes are visible)) Or they consider themselves ugly, but they want to post a photo) Everyone has different reasons, I think.

    I think some star posted a similar photo on Instagram, and then gradually everyone picked up the style of taking pictures. After all, as you know, at first everyone took pictures with duck lips, but now it’s like this.
