Amongst all the seriousness of social media - the carefully chosen outfits and locations, the perfect poses and facial expressions, the filters and photoshopping needed to craft that perfect image of oneself - some people choose to do things differently. These people like a laugh and don't take themselves too seriously; they are also confident enough to show their friends and followers their silly and, dare we say it, ugly face.
Because although a brief skim through Instagram might leave you feeling that every pretty girl is just perfect except for you, nothing is further from the truth! Even the most attractive people can quite easily uglify themselves, and this is celebrated on the subreddit r/PrettyGirlsUglyFaces. As a follow up to our previous post on this hilariously funny photo trend, we decided to share some more of these face transformation classics with you, for your viewing...pleasure? Scroll down to enjoy these hilariously gruesome girls for yourself who can turn from ugly to pretty and vice versa in a second, and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Move Over Fiona
Did you know that this kind of hideous facial contortion is actually a sport? Inevitably founded in Britain, gurning competitions have been happening since way back in 1297, when people at the Egremont Crab Apple Fair took turns in pulling grotesque poses while eating the super sour apples.

My Mother Told Me I Shouldn't Keep Posting This Just In Case A Boy Saw. Helloo, Boyz

If a man doesn't love you making a goofy face with no makeup on he is not the man for you anyway. Seriously your eye makeup there is really well done and you're clearly lovely, no need to be serious 100% of the time.
This rural English tradition now has it's own World Championships, with people coming from across the globe to try and win the title of ugliest face. Traditionally gurners frame their faces with a horse collar, in a procedure that is known as "gurnin' through a braffin'. A typical gurn involves projecting the lower jaw as far forward and up as possible, and covering the upper lip with the lower lip.

I Am Very Proud Of The Photo On The Right
The World Championships are held in mid-September each year and there are competitions for men, ladies and juniors. England's best-known gurner is Peter Jackman, who won the world championship four times from 1998, with a face called the "Bela Lugosi."

Photos Of Me Taken Within The Same Week

It's amazing what bad lighting and angles can do to a person. Add a little makeup and you've got yourself pictures that look like different people. Seriously though it's not just makeup- nobody looks good at that angle.

Haha, I love the this. The 'ugly' pics are what really capture parts of the personality, which ironically brings laughter and is beautifully human.

Most of the "ugly" pics are either 'tuck my chin in and make a face' or 'wear glasses - I'm ugly now!'

I feel like all dating apps should require all the people to post best/worst photos side by side. Not only would it make the process more "honest" but I think it would be so much more fun.
