If you enjoyed Bullshitcallerouter – you need to look at the Celebface Insta page

The US-based alternative.

We were shocked to hear that the @Bullshitcallerouter Insta page had been shut down.

As revealed via the now-defunct account’s final post, it seems that the founder, Aoibhinn, had to go hospital.

Quickly amassing some 62K followers, in the few short weeks it was up-and-running the likes of SoSueMe, The MakeUpFairy, Rosie Connolly, and Pippa O’Connor all came under scrutiny.

As a result, Terrie McEvoy admitted that she rigged a competition back in 2015 – something which has now attracted significant attention.

Meanwhile, SoSueMe said defiantly that she wouldn’t let ‘negativity’ drag her down, stating: “I want to share with you that sometimes the testing situations will arise. And like me, you have to power through.”

However, there is no doubt that Aoibhinn’s page got an important conversation going – and it got us all asking questions about the level of photo filtering and editing that’s done by bloggers. In the aftermath certainly, a lot more people are championing greater transparency from ‘influencers’ they follow.

It’s the same sentiment that’s behind Celebface – a US-based page with some 250K followers. With its bio reading: ‘If you don’t want to see the truth, leave this page,’ in short, if you enjoyed Bullshitcallerouter you’ll like Celebface too.

It refreshingly features detailed close-ups of celebrities’ faces (men and women), as well as calling out those guilty of going too heavy on their photo editing app and Photoshop fails.

What strikes us about a lot of the posts that Celebface shares is just how incredibly beautiful these people are before they start tweaking and changing.

That even they feel the need to ‘enhance’ something or other about how perfect we’re all expected to be online.
