This thing is like a full-on plastic surgery session without the actual surgery. It’ll sharpen your chin, fill in your eyebrows, and smooth out your skin so much that you’ll feel like a baby’s bottom. It’s so effective that it might even raise your credit score, I mean, who knows?

But here’s the thing, people are starting to get worried about the beauty standards this filter is setting. Like, imagine living in a world where everyone is airbrushed to “perfection.” No thank you.

And what’s even scarier is that the filter is so seamless that you can move your face around and it’ll still stay on. You could be a completely different person and no one would even know!

Filters are fun, but they are NOT reality and we shouldn’t be comparing ourselves to them. But wow this one is good 😳 #filter #drkieutips #beauty #skincare #boldglamour #facialplasticsurgeon

Folks on TikTok are calling for a warning label on this filter because it’s basically like face tuning on steroids. It smooths out any imperfections, plumps your lips, and whitens your teeth, all while still looking like it’s you. It’s like magic, but the kind that sets an impossible and dangerous standard for beauty.

People are even making tutorials on how to copy the filter’s look in real life, but come on, that’s just setting a bad precedent. Let’s stick to the good old-fashioned dog ears and Disney eyes filters, okay?
