Tested on the street: the controversial ‘Bold Glamour’ filter on TikTok works so frighteningly well | News

More than 10 million videos have already been made with the new ‘Bold Glamour’ TikTok filter. Perfect cheekbones, full lips and sparkling eyes, it seems too good to be true. And that is it. Ever since one of the most sophisticated AI face filters ever unleashed on the internet, everyone has been entranced by how their face looks: “I look like Kendall Jenner.

The days of the dog filters on Snapchat may be behind us for good, TikTok is taking over that role with the latest AI face filters. For example, the ‘Bold Glamour’ filter ensures perfect facial expressions. So perfect that users even admit that they don’t even recognize the person they see on the screen anymore. Some features are very obvious, such as eyeshadow, but others are very subtle, such as the cheekbones and jawline, which still have the remarkable danger that it is difficult to separate some elements of the filter from reality.

That is why the filter already caused a wave of negative reactions on social media. Young people are constantly confronted with an ideal image that is impossible to pursue. “If I were to look at someone with such a filter every day, and I looked in the mirror myself but didn’t have it myself, it would be very painful,” it sounds. Watch our reporters test the filter on the street.
