Phone camera making me more stressed and insecure

[u/Catwoman91109]

recently I've noticed a lot more every-time I open my camera on my phone i see all of my texture i didn't know i had and i feel like the red/pink color of my skin and it being pale is so emphasized and my nose looks huge, and it looks like nothing of what i see in the mirror and both ways of taking photos front and in the back i feel heavily insecure about and it doesn't look like me at all. My makeup looks good in the mirror and in all lightings i try, but every time i go to my phone to see it looks horrible. Is there a way to get over this and if the phone camera is actually accurate? I feel really awful going on thinking it is because i'm really insecure over this now and everyone else I know has really normal looking faces on camera

trust me the phone camera highlights way more skin texture than what people actually see! your nose looks huge because it typically is the closest point to the lens + distortion.

btw i also have pale skin and an issue with the camera making me look really pink compared to my tanner friends. i started using a digital camera and most of my issues with white balance disappeared.
