General info

Images:

Although you didn’t add the images, I think that the plush vegetables before and after are slightly ineffective as were talking about people using the filters. Maybe add a new photo that is more compelling of the text next to it about the way it reshapes/smooths the face.

Lead:

History:

The more relevant history information that you added is well written. Neutral and also bringing in the use of AI strengthens the overall article as it proves that these filters are very relevant in society and are continuing to evolve with new technology.
I think a good idea would be going through a linking to other Wikipedia articles on subjects like Facebook & TikTok

Beauty Filter: see background below for insight.

Background:

I would say within this section the background part should be before the section on beauty filters themselves as it would flow better knowing the background and how manipulation photos evolved into these easy to use filters.

Effects:

You could expand the part where it speaks about the effects outside of the face - I know there's filters where it makes your hips larger and expands the butt. This could tie in also to the look of a bbl under the cosmetic section
How the increase of these filters creates that body dysmorphia it talked about and how it can lead to ppl wanting to go under dangerous procedures like this to fit in with what they’re seeing online - this aspect of it turning from face alteration to body alteration can lead into psychological effects and procedures smoothly.

Psychological Effects:

Cosmetic Procedures:

Maybe look to see if there have been any more procedures linked to filters like the ones mentioned, but finding newer ones to add into it.
This could be a spot to talk about the bbl procedure if you include that in the effects from the filters alternating bodies.

Apps:

I would move this section to below the studies and perception as it would allow for a better flow of similar content to be closer together.
AirBrush is another app you can talk about that's like Facetune, gives you options to smooth, whiten, etc.

Studies:

The last study was in 2020 I bet there have been more recent studies that you could strengthen and see the impact of the amount of people using them.
- Maybe here you could find a study connecting to people's body image problems, or how many people did procedures after seeing filters - connecting it to the other talk points prior would strengthen it
- How social media filters are Impacting Our Mental Health (aplaceofhope.com)
I think this is going to be the spot where you can put the most focus on since there are countless studies in connection to social media/the beauty seen from filters. So I think this is a great spot to really add to the article overall and connect to those previously mentioned topics.

Reception:

I would say that this could be a subsection within the psychological effects, or maybe retitle the section "Reception & Psychological Effect". It's just really small and talking about body dysmorphia again which is why I would pull it up and intergrade it with that section.

Overall:

I think that since this article is already pretty written out, I think expanding on those topics is what’s going to strengthen the article overall.
- For instance, adding more to the studies of different impacts of beauty filter.
Also, another thing to note is that although it’s not titled beauty filters, it is the only type of filter really dived into. So maybe adding the different types of filters beyond beauty ones to help shape the overall understanding that there are more than just beauty filters.
- maybe adding a section about the other ways filters are used that go beyond beauty enhancing. The overall article only talks about the background and how negative effects come with this beauty alters, so it might be beneficial to add a section at the end talking about the evolution of filters from just color to beauty enhancements, to fun filters to share with friends.
  - For instance, the ones that make it so it looks like you are on FT with a celebrity.
  - Or the different animal face filters
  - Or the filters that have dancing characters - like Shrek dancing
  - Or the crying filter that went viral on TikTok/Instagram because Drake/baseball games/ basketball games have been using it on their crowds on the big screen during these concerts/games.
