The new video shared by the starlet, revealed her heart-shaped face tattoo, on full display. Amanda, in the new clip, explained how the lighting can affect her appearance and even went on to criticize the paparazzi photos, which often make her look “terrible” due to the harsh sunlight.
“I usually don’t look good in paparazzi pictures and that’s because paparazzi pictures are taken outside, the sunlight is usually really harsh and bright on my skin, ” says the Nickelodeon star.
The veteran actress demonstrated how different lighting can have a significant impact on one’s appearance by stepping into various lighting areas in her home. “Even though I’m only 37 and I don’t even look old… the harsh lighting can create shadows on my face like it cast shadows in different areas and I look terrible,” she persisted.
Amanda showed her fans how terrible she can look in a certain light, further emphasizing the importance of lighting in photography and videography.
Amanda wanted that clip to be a reminder that lighting plays a crucial role in how one looks in photographs and videos telling her followers that her “secret” to looking “good” is by finding the “best light” around her. And the fact that even a beautiful actress can have bad days or look bad in the pictures captured by paparazzi due to harsh lighting.
The post shared by Amanda with her big following of 94K followers put her on the pedestal and was in awe of the video.
There were a bunch of comments saying, “No need to explain. You are beautiful inside and out,” while another one said, “You slay no matter the lighting.”. Not only the fans but Bunnie Xo, the internet star commented on Amanda’s post complimenting her, “You’re gorgeous no matter what babe,” with a white heart emoji.
