We’re so vain! Brits are most likely to want to edit selfies

-

WE MAY not think it suits us, but Britons have been revealed as the vainest people in Europe.

A study into how often folk searched the web to learn how to use selfie-editing software such as Photoshop to enhance pictures they put online found Brits were the biggest culprits.

In fact, there were 108,600 monthly searches for ‘ how to edit selfies’.

The most popular enhancemen­ts were sparklier eyes, a new hair colour, trimmed waists, a bigger or smaller cleavage and bigger muscles.

It means that over a year, more than 1.3 million of us want to learn how to boost our image on social media and dating sites.

The UK was followed by Spain (75,000 searches) and Germany (63,700). The least self-obsessed folk were in Belarus, with 3,100.

A spokesman for the online marketplac­e OnBuy.com, which carried out the survey, said: ‘Social media has become the place for everyone to show off the best version of themselves.

‘ However, it can be easy to get carried away.’
