Beauty filters not only do what they’re supposed to – make people look more attractive in photos – but they also make people appear more intelligent, trustworthy, sociable and happy, according to new research.
For a study published in the British scientific academy The Royal Society, participants were shown only one version of a face, either the original or a version enhanced with a common beauty filter in, order to avoid bias.
