Facial Plastic Surgeon Debunks Beauty Filter Illusion: 'Achievable with Makeup and Lighting'

In a recent TikTok video, Dr. Monica Kieu, a facial plastic surgeon based in Southern California, analyzed a popular 'bold glamour' filter. The video, which has garnered millions of views, shows a side-by-side comparison of Dr. Kieu's face without makeup and with the filter applied. She expertly points out how the filter enhances features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, nose, cheeks, and lips. "The blush and contouring they did to the cheeks is genius," she comments, highlighting the filter's sophisticated application of makeup techniques. Dr. Kieu concludes that the filter's effect is achievable through makeup and good lighting, reminding viewers that filters don't represent reality. The video's popularity speaks to the widespread interest in beauty filters and the desire for realistic beauty standards.
