Blogger Mel Wells Rips Samsung A New One For Their Default 'Beauty Level' Filter -- Read Her Scathing Message!

Way to stick up for what’s right, girl!
About a week ago, blogger Mel Wells called out the phone company Samsung for their “beauty level” filter. Wells discovered the automatic photoshop feature after celebrating her new phone purchase with a cute selfie.

Unfortunately for Ms. Wells, after she took the photo she realized the phone airbrushed all of her natural beauty without her consent. Surprisingly, the “beauty level” filter is a default setting for every new Samsung cell!
Check out M.W.’s pissed off response to filter-gate (below)!

Wow Samsung. When you get a brand new phone and go to take a selfie and realise that the default setting on the front camera is automatically on “Beauty level 8” which evidently means: seriously airbrushed face. This means everyone who gets a new Samsung phone and flicks the front camera on is automatically being told “Hi, we’re Samsung and we think you look way better when we automatically airbrush your selfies for you, x 8!!” Thanks @samsungmobile for the vote of confidence, I think I’ll keep my freckles and imperfections since this is how I look in 3D and this is how all my friends see me in real life. I hope young girls are buying iPhones instead of Samsungs. (Wait, do iPhones do this too?) To clarify – no apps here – this is Samsung’s DEFAULT FRONT CAMERA SETTING. ├░┼╕╦£┼╕├░┼╕Γäó╦åA photo posted by M E L W E L L S ├░┼╕┬ªΓÇ₧├░┼╕┼Æ╦å (@iammelwells) on Jun 22, 2016 at 5:28am PDT

Wow! The gorgeous gal really went there — it’s clear she’s really angry!
While a lot of fans were inspired and pleased with Mel’s message, some users wondered why the author chose not to turn off the filter which could have solved the situation.
In response, the blonde explained:

Thanks @cosmopolitanuk for picking this up. For those people saying “What’s the problem, just turn it off,” that wasn’t the point I was making. Of course you can turn the setting off/on as you please. The point I was making is that when you first buy a brand new handset, this setting is already automatically applied to the front camera and to beauty level 8. So already assuming the consumer wants to be airbrushed. I wanted to raise this point as I think it’s one thing for us the consumer to decide to edit our photo after its been taken, but it’s another thing for the manufacturer to do it for us before we’ve even taken the shot. The more we are told that we are supposed to look flawless, the more unhappy we will feel in our own skin – because none of us are flawless! On the contrary – it is our imperfections that make us most beautiful. Social media comparison has a massive impact on anxiety levels in young people and half the problem is we are being presented with flawless airbrushed photos constantly. In #TheGoddessRevolution there’s a chapter called ‘The Instaperfect Highlight Reel’. We all use filters and want to look our best, and this is not a rant about never editing photos because we’ve all done it – just remember when you’re scrolling that usually what you’re seeing is just an orchestrated and edited snapshot into someone’s Instalife. ├ó┬¥┬ñ That’s all.

All great points, girl! Airbrushing is not the norm!
