5 Trending TikTok Filters to Boost Your Natural Beauty Routine
Along with the continuous popularity of social media and the rising use of AI in our everyday lives, beauty filters have become more and more commonplace and are changing the landscape of the beauty industry. They’re available across many platforms but are most popular on apps like Instagram and TikTok, and have recently become a controversial topic as some consider them the driving force behind increasingly unrealistic beauty standards.
The reason for this is that many filters use the technology to instantly ‘beautify’ your appearance by sharpening and shrinking facial features, giving a full face of makeup or creating the appearance of smoother and brighter skin.
However, we believe that not all filters are bad. As the technology becomes more advanced, filters are now able to help you learn more about your self-image and identity, get creative and experiment with your natural beauty routine.
In this article, we’re going to focus specifically on TikTok filters that can do this, breaking down what TikTok filters are and how to use TikTok filters toto enhance your beauty routine, boost your confidence and discover your super natural beauty.
What Is a TikTok Filter?
A TikTok filter is a tool that you can use within the TikTok app to alter your appearance on your phone’s screen. The technology uses a combination of AI (artificial intelligence) and AR (Augmented Reality) to identify your facial features and alter your appearance.
5 Top TikTok Filters to Boost Your Natural Beauty Routine
1. MyFaceShape - The Best Filter To Find Your Face Shape
What To Search On TikTok: MyFaceShape gracemchoiKnowing your face shape can be really helpful for lots of different reasons, whether it’s learning what haircuts suit you or knowing what shape of eyebrow would be best for your face. Although, it’s not always easy to determine which is your face shape, given that most people aren’t obviously a ‘square’ or ‘diamond’ for example, which is where this TikTok filter comes in. If you’re looking for how to find your face shape on TikTok, this is the best face shape filter. To use it, make sure your hair is tied back away from your face and you are in a well lit room. After searching for the filter, simply press ‘use this effect’ and switch between the pink buttons to find the different face shapes. To determine your face shape, focus on your forehead and whether it curves in or not, and look at how angular your chin is, finding the shape that best suits your face.
What To Search On TikTok: Eyebrows
We’ve mentioned previously how important eyebrows are in framing your face, but it can sometimes be a bit tricky to see how best to shape your eyebrows. This TikTok eyebrow shape filter uses the core methods of brow mapping, helping you find the perfect place for your brows to start, arch and finish. To learn more about brow mapping and how to find the best eyebrow shape for you, head to our article here. This TikTok eyebrow filter helps to simplify the process. To use it, simply search for the filter and press ‘use this effect’. It will then bring up an angular pink grid based on your facial structure that will show you where your brows should start, arch and finish. First, start by plucking any hairs below the horizontal line, Although this may seem daunting, by plucking these hairs, you will help to give the appearance of higher cheekbones and a fresher, cleaner appearance. Then, using your UKLASH Brow Pencil, draw a small dot in all three positions on the filter where it mentions the start, arch and finish of your brows. You can then close the filter and use the eyebrow pencil’s ultra-fine tip to draw hair-like strokes in any sparse areas and create the perfect brow shape for your face!
3. Seasons Types - The Best Colour Analysis Filter
What To Search On TikTok: seasons typesColour analysis has been a trending topic on TikTok recently, with many filters and influencers speaking about the methodology. Colour analysis is the process of finding the colours and tones that best suit you based on your hair colour, eye colour and skin tone and can help you make informed decisions when it comes to choosing the colours of your clothes or what shades of makeup, like lipstick and eyeshadow, you should be using to harmonise with your natural beauty. To use the filter, simply search for the filter term above and press ‘use this effect’. Make sure you’re facing natural light before selecting between Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter colours. When choosing, focus on which you naturally gravitate towards and also look at the contrast between your skin and eye colour as well as the contrast between your skin and hair colour. Spring and Winter colour palettes offer a stark contrast, so will tend to suit those with a more striking contrast between their eyes and skin or hair and skin. Once you’ve determined which palette suits you best, keep it in mind the next time you’re shopping for makeup or clothing. Our Plumping Lip Gloss in shade Rose is an adaptable tone that suits most colour palettes, but may be best for Spring and Autumn palettes. If you’re Summer or Winter, why not opt for our Clear Plumping Lip Gloss and use as a top coat, paired with your facourite lipstick shade.

It can take trial and error to find the shade for you and applying testers to your hand in store doesn’t always cut it. This TikTok filter can help you determine which shades to look out for based on your skin tone and undertone. First, let’s break it down. Your skin tone is based upon how much melanin is in your skin and ranges from fair to dark. Undertones are broken down into cool, neutral, warm and olive and can be a little more tricky to determine. This TikTok filter can help you find this out. Simply search on TikTok using the term above and select ‘use this effect’ and make sure you are facing natural light with a clean, make-up free face. The circles of foundation on the left can help you switch between skin tones, and within that skin tone, there will be the four undertone options. For best results, drag the filter to just below your cheekbone and switch between the skin tones find the shade that disappears into your face. Use two fingers to zoom and drag across the face, checking all areas to determine your perfect shade. Once you’ve found your shade, for example medium with an olive undertone, make a note of this and use it going forward when choosing your foundation shade to find the perfect match for you!

At UKLASH, we’re passionate about the future of the beauty industry and hope to use technology in a way to positively impact the community.
