Jade is too obsessed with selfie apps, editing and posting selfies for hours every day, which shows that she craves others' attention to make up for her lack of confidence towards her look.
Although Anthony used to not care about his appearance, his attitude changed after a makeover experience. He realised that there is value in making an effort with the way you present yourself.
