Lucia wrote: "The beauty filter contoured my face and nose, made my eyes bigger and lighter. It was a new me."
She admitted that she "looked better," but said this is a huge problem. "Beauty standards have always been problematic," Lucia added: "But in the age of the selfie it's a whole different ballpark, because we are now competing with a CGI-enhanced version of ourselves."

Lucia added: "I should point out that cosmetic surgery is not the 'devil' and people should be able to choose what they want to do to their appearance.
"But is it truly an authentic choice if the reason you are altering yourself is so you can adhere to unattainable beauty standards?"

In another of her columns, Lucia recently touched upon botox and the aging process and said: "I was told by one of my friends the other day that I should start having 'preventative' Botox, because, 'If you start now, then you can stop wrinkles in their tracks.' I was astonished," she wrote.
Nicole is very close to her sister and their mother too
"I have nothing against getting Botox, but to be recommended it at 23 is seriously alarming. It's like showing any signs of aging is admitting defeat."
In addition to her writing, Lucia is also working on a documentary after joining the family business.
