Is it normal to look better in the mirror than on selfies?

When I look into the mirror on some days and I see my self looking good (which is quite rare) I try to take a selfie usually on snapchat and it always turns out I actually look like a goblin!!! Is this normal? Does it happen to everyone? Or is it just that my brain lies to me when I look in the mirror to make me think I look good (kind of like wishful thinking)

    Totally normal, same thing happens to me.
    And different phones and cameras make me look different. I remember taking a selfie with my friends Sony branded phone, the pic came out very close to resembling my reflection in my mirror.

    Cameras process light a bit differently than our eyes do, the lens will change some angles of your face depending on distance and how your holding the cam. It takes practice, keep on trying different things and learn how your camera is seeing light, outside and inside.

    Cameras are nothing more than light recorders.

    It doesn't make sense for you to look good in a mirror and bad in a picture. You're probably imagining things.
