A lot of cameras (lenses actually) distort people when they take pics of themselves up close using camera at arms length. You'll notice the nose sticking out oddly up close and not from more of a distance. Plus lighting is key some people get bad shadows from certain angles. I once noticed pics of Jennifer Love Hewitt look awful when lit from above because the shadow under her nose makes it look cartoonish. Camera's lie a lot - for better and worse.
