Right now on TikTok, instead of obsessing over a new drugstore product, dance craze, or beauty hack, people are analyzing how “imperfect” their faces are, and it’s all thanks to the viral inverted filter.
The filter, which flips your appearance to show your mirrored reflection — or how you look to other people — now has over 316 million views on the hashtag, with thousands of videos from users trying it out to varied reactions. Some people are pleasantly surprised by their facial symmetry, while others are shocked by how different their appearance is when they toggle the filter on and off.
