Beautify in front camera Xiaomi 13T pro

I didn't use beautify function in front camera, select original, but my photos still have a lot of smoothness on my face. I don't like it, why I can't take photos with original face??

I think it's just the quality of the front camera. Xiaomi only recently starts caring more about the front camera, and that's only in their flagships (14 series). The 13 series still has good photo quality, but it's kinda bare minimum to enter the flagship territory due to lack of autofocus and 4K@60fps recording. 13T series, however, is on a lower level, so don't expect to get better selfies.

Attached are samples from my 13 Pro (resized to fulfill forum maximum size, should have no noticable quality lost), you can see all of the imperfections on my face outdoor. But indoor, the details start crumbling. Remember this is from a flagship device (13 Ultra uses the same sensor, so should be the same quality).
