Hilsenteger compared it to a kind of digital makeup. \u201cI do not look like that,\u201d he said in a video demonstrating the phenomenon. \u201cThat\u2019s weird \u2026 I look like I\u2019m wearing foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>...<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a totally new phenomenon: Every digital camera uses algorithms to transform the different wavelengths of light that hit its sensor into an actual image.
