Instagram models and other social media influencers are all starting to look the same. Known as the “Instagram Face,” the selfie-ready mug is a common look for many female celebrities. It also includes the kinds of features that many cosmetic surgery clients ask for in their appointments. What is the “Instagram Face,” and who has it?
What is the definition of the Instagram face? Per writer Jia Tolentino in the New Yorker, it’s “a single, cyborgian face.” She continues:
It’s a young face, of course, with poreless skin and plump, high cheekbones … It looks at you coyly but blankly, as if its owner has taken half a Klonopin and is considering asking you for a private-jet ride to Coachella.
Tolentino continued that while the Instagram face is “distinctly white,” it’s also “ambiguously ethnic.”
A top plastic surgeon, Dr. Demetri Arnaoutakis talked to Showbiz Cheat Sheet about the concept of “Instagram face,” too.
“We’re now seeing uplifted eyes that appear ‘catlike,’ the lips are pouty, and the eyelashes are overly long,” he said. “Plus, the person’s foreheads are typically wrinkle-free.”
In search of the social-media-approved face, many wanna-be models are already perfecting their Instagram posts with filters and apps.
“Art directors at magazines have long edited photos of celebrities to better match unrealistic beauty standards; now you can do that to pictures of yourself with just a few taps on your phone,” Tolentino explained. Apps like FaceTune make blemishes a thing of the past. One make-up artist told Tolentino:
“I think ninety-five percent of the most-followed people on Instagram use FaceTune, easily. And I would say that ninety-five percent of these people have also had some sort of cosmetic procedure.”
This is why, as he explained, plastic surgery is also getting “trendy—like, everyone’s getting brow lifts via Botox now.”
“Social media has played a huge role in the rise of cosmetic procedures,” Arnaoutakis agreed. He went on to explain why that mattered:
We have access to our favorite celebrity or influencer 24/7 now. And more importantly, a lot of them are open about which treatments they undergo. This has removed the taboo label from undergoing plastic surgery and has made it more commonplace to undergo certain procedures.
So, which celebs have the face everyone seems to want so bad?
“When you look at Kim, Megan Fox, Lucy Liu, Halle Berry, you’ll find elements in common,” a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon told Tolentino in the New Yorker. “the high contoured cheekbones, the strong projected chin, the flat platform underneath the chin that makes a ninety-degree angle.”
Tolentino also wrote that the Instagram face “suggests a National Geographic composite illustrating what Americans will look like in 2050.” Well, that is: “if every American of the future were to be a direct descendant of Kim Kardashian West, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner (who looks exactly like Emily Ratajkowski).”
Cosmetic surgeons report that the Instagram face features — “high arched brows with Botox like Kylie Jenner or high cheekbones like supermodel Bella Hadid” — are super in right now.
Still, one celebrity, in particular, stood out as the most-requested face at cosmetic surgery clinics.
“I’d say that thirty percent of people come in bringing a photo of Kim, or someone like Kim,” the surgeon explained to Tolentino. “She’s at the very top of the list, and understandably so.”
Arnaoutakis advised anyone interested in a potential procedure “to seek out an expert in the procedure they are considering having done.” Not to mention, hit the breaks on social media use, when you need to.
“There can be heavy psychological impacts from Instagram, as well. It is such a visual platform with a variety of filters that may, unfortunately, mislead our teenage population,” the doctor said.
You can’t trust everything you see on the Internet.
An influencer from Amsterdam is showing off how camera angles and good lighting can significantly alter how good (or bad) someone looks in a photo. Based on the number of followers she has, it seems that social media appreciates the honesty.
Rianne Meijer has been posting the images to her Instagram account, which has about 678,000 followers. While her account includes a variety of images, including shots from her daily life and even some conventionally posed photos, she regularly includes photos that reveal the truth behind glamor shots.
Many of her photos are actually composites of two photos, placed next to each other. One will show a photo that would normally appear on a typical influencer’s page. These shots are well lit and have perfect angles.
Next to that image, however, the camera is slightly altered and Meijer has adjusted her pose, showing just how dramatic a difference that can make.
While she’s getting attention for her work now, she’s been doing it since at least 2019. At that time, she said she wanted to show that photos from influencers aren’t ever really real, MSN reports.
According to the news outlet, she also said that she’s found her voice through this project and that she’s building a community around a positive message.

Kandi Burruss and her family live busy lives, with managing and continuing to build up their empire, as well as school for the younger members of the crew. So it’s not often that we get to see the whole Real Housewives of Atlanta fam together in one place.
Luckily, Kandi and her family were able to put all of their other commitments aside to spend some quality time with one another this weekend. Kandi even commemorated the special occasion by posting a series of family photos on Instagram on June 21.
The pics show Kandi’s daughter Riley Burruss, 17, and her stepdaughter, Kaela, 24, standing to the left and right of the Atlanta Housewife, respectively, as her mom, Mama Joyce, husband Todd Tucker, son Ace, 4, daughter Blaze, 7 months, dad Dr. Titus Burruss, and stepmom Brenda Burruss sit on the couch in front of them.
Kandi captioned the snaps, “Today was a good day! #FamilyTime.”
Todd also showed a lot of love to his family on Instagram. “Family is forever! I love my kids so much! [Blaze, Ace, Riley, and Kaela] and my amazing wife!” he wrote in the post. “[Kandi] thank you for the best Father’s Day!”
Kandi returned the love by showing her gratitude to Todd for being a wonderful father. “Happy Father’s Day my King aka #DaddyDayCare aka [Todd]!” Kandi gushed in another post on Instagram on Father’s Day. “Thank you for being such an awesome father to our blended tribe. I love you!”
She also honored her own father and her stepfather, Leroy Jones, who passed away in May 2019. “Happy Father’s Day to my dad [Titus and] Happy heavenly Father’s Day to my stepfather #LeroyJones!” Kandi shared in a post on Instagram featuring photos of herself with Titus and Leroy. “I hope all Fathers are enjoying your day today!”
Kandi and her loved ones got in more family time earlier in the weekend as they supported Black-owned businesses in honor of Juneteenth. She also enjoyed a Juneteenth celebration with Kenya Moore and Eva Marcille.

As you figure out the best organic Instagram growth strategy for your profile, it’s going to be important to know pretty much everything there is to know about one of the world’s most popular social media platforms.
You’ve got to make sure that you have the right information on board so that you can make a real difference.
Let’s take a look at some of the most important Instagram statistics to have in your portfolio as an Instagram grower and influencer.
Can you believe that Instagram is the second-most downloaded free app in the Apple store? The only platform that has been able to surpass it and take out the title for number one is YouTube.
This is a pretty good idea of what to expect when growing your Insta – it’s going to keep attracting more and more users, so if you do the math, you’ve got a great chance of doing really well.
Did you know that people love to Google search about the weather – still? They don’t just love to talk about it, they love to Google about it. Do you know what else they like to Google? Instagram.
Instagram is the 10th most popular thing to Google these days, behind Amazon, YouTube, and Facebook. However, because Instagram is, of course, an app and not something that you tend to Google, this is still a great sign.
Did you know that there are seven countries in the world where Instagram has to decide to hide their views and likes? It wasn’t that long ago that Instagram started hiding likes in Canada, but they have since moved on to other countries, too.
These include Ireland, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. While this does mean that if you live in any of these countries, or your Instagram followers are from any of these countries, they can’t see your engagement, it doesn’t mean that you still can’t be popular.
How many people do you think use Instagram every month? Would you believe us if we said one billion? This is a heck of a lot of people, which means a heck of a lot of traffic for your page, potentially.
This officially makes Instagram number two in terms of active users. What’s number one? Facebook, of course.
However, Instagram is owned by Facebook, so what’s the difference, really?
This is a pretty impressive amount of users, which means that the sky’s the limit in terms of your exposure.
Instagram Stories is a relatively recent feature that Instagram has decided to implement, as other apps like Snapchat attempt to stay updated and relevant. Nobody saw the writing on the wall with Instagram Stories, but needless to say that it’s popular.
In fact, it’s 500 million people popular. This is how many people use Instagram Stories every single day.
It’s only been three years since Instagram added this feature to their list, and it’s clear at this point that Instagram Stories are a pretty integral part of your overall presence.
How many of the people that you follow as influencers or role models on the gram are from the states? Probably quite a few.
However, you might be surprised to know that the vast majority of Instagram users aren’t actually stateside.
In fact, out of the billion people that use Instagram every month, only 110 million of them are from America. This means that 89% of Instagram users are outside of the states. The top country is Brazil, followed by India, then Indonesia, and lastly, Russia.
This kind of information is vital to know what your target audience looks like so that you can accommodate them in your content, and post at the right times.
When was the last time you asked your mom or dad if they use the gram? If it’s been a while, there’s every chance that they’ve jumped on the bandwagon since. This is because 37% of American adults are on it.
So, how many of our parents’ generation are actually using the social media app, then?
Of that 37%, only 23% of them are between the ages of 50 and 64 – the vast majority still fall into the younger generation’s category. This doesn’t mean that they’re not on it, though.
How often do you find yourself checking the gram to see if someone has commented or liked your latest post? You might have been feeling a bit trigger happy lately, and if so, you’re not alone.
This is because 63% of people on the gram log in to the app at least once every day. While this isn’t everyone, it’s still a lot of people.
This means that if you’re putting more content out there every day for your community to see it, you should be able to receive a lot of attention for it.
Have you changed your Instagram profile to a business profile yet? Well, maybe now is the time to do so.
This is because 200 million Instagrammers check out at least one business page every single day. Business users are also starting to use services that send automatic direct messages to new followers.
This is a lot of eyes on your product or service, and a great chance to bring more traffic to your website.
So, there you have it – some of the most important stats about Instagram right now.
If you’re serious about your Instagram growth, you need to know what’s what. You need to know who’s using the gram, and where they are.
You also need to know what’s good with Instagram business profiles.
Clearly, there’s room here for growth, and the opportunity to turn your brand or online presence into a wild success. Get started with Insta today and discover the endless opportunities it offers.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s brother, 33, posted a series of pictures of the latest addition to his pack to mark Father’s Day. His new puppy, called Nala, is the daughter of one of his other dogs, Zulu.
James said: “Happy Fathers Day Zulu. Whether you are teaching Nala how to wag her tail so fast it spins her round or how to pose for photos… you are a fantastic daddy and we are all lucky to have you in our life!”
The cute photos show little Nala posing on a mini tractor.
The post prompted a delighted response from James’s followers.
One commented: “It’s a fantastic family.”
Another said: “Happy Father’s day, you are the best doggy daddy.”
A third added: “Cuteness overload.”
Kate’s brother took to Instagram to introduce his new puppy in May.
He has five other dogs – spaniels Zulu, Ella, Inca, Luna and golden retriever Mabel.
Posting pictures of the tiny brown spaniel, the entrepreneur said: “Introducing Nala Middleton. She is daughter of Zulu & granddaughter of Ella.
“I cannot wait to share many adventures with her and the rest of the pack.
“Ps more very exciting news to share soon.”
Earlier this month he posted a “first family photo” of Nala with his other dogs.
The 33-year-old said: “First family photo. It took a while but Nala got the hang of it (see next photo!) but it was a special moment capturing three generations together happy & healthy.”
Along with the photo, he shared a hilarious video of the pup running around while his other five dogs sat for the camera.
James’s pooches regularly appear on his Instagram.
He has previously opened up about how his dogs helped in his battle with depression.
The 33-year-old is an ambassador for the charity Pets As Therapy and he recently launched his own dog food brand Ella & Co.
James is spending the coronavirus lockdown with his fiancee Alizee Thevenet at his parents’ house in Berkshire.
Beyoncé has many founders, owners and entrepreneurs of color jumping for joy after including them in her directory of Black-owned businesses.
In addition to releasing a new song, “Black Parade,” on Juneteenth, her website was also updated to feature an organized list curated by her go-to fashion stylist, Zerina Akers.
On Instagram, Akers presented @black.owned.everything and encouraged people to register their business.
On Beyoncé’s website, the list includes Black-owned business across several industries including beauty, fashion, restaurants and more.
One of the businesses featured, Hanahana Beauty, showed immense gratitude for being included within the list. “Y’all last night was a dream, and we’re still living it in,” the brand captioned a photo on Instagram. “When @beyonce recognizes your brand, just know it’s real.”
Another wellness platform, Black Girl in Om, celebrated by thanking Akers and Beyoncé with heartwarming words. “We appreciate this powerful affirmation of Black women standing firm in our power and our healing — in our elevation and our expansion,” the company captioned the post.
The caption continued, “When Queen Bey acknowledges you, know you are indeed a reflection of that sovereignty. “
Along with the news of the “Black Parade” song, it was also announced that proceeds from the new tune would benefit BeyGOOD’s Black Business Impact Fund administered by the National Urban League, to support Black-owned small businesses in need.
Following the global movement for social justice, many people have been finding ways to stand in solitude — and supporting Black-owned businesses is one of many ways to do so during this revolutionary time.
