Unveiling True Eye Color: Camera Tricks To Try

There are various ways to see your true eye colour. One method is to use the true eye colour filter on TikTok. This AR filter can be applied to your selfie camera and will change your eye colour. Another method is to use iridology, which is a way to examine the exact health of your body and can reveal your true eye colour. However, it should be noted that there is no such thing as true colour as your eye sees it because your eye is different from others' eyes.

Using the TikTok eye challenge

The TikTok Eye Challenge is a dangerous trend that involves placing a plastic bag filled with hand sanitiser, bleach, shaving cream, and sometimes jelly, against your eye for at least a minute. The claim is that this will change the colour of your iris. This is false and can cause serious harm to your eyes, including blindness.

The challenge appears to have originated with TikTok user Greg Lammers, who posted a video demonstrating the effect, which was later revealed to be a result of clever editing. Despite Lammers' video not claiming that the challenge was real, it still inspired many copycat videos, with users attempting the challenge for themselves.

TikTok user Maliabroo also posted a video claiming that the TikTok platform had a new filter called 'S5' that changes your eye colour when used with flash. This was also false, and the S5 filter is actually just a pre-set filter that adds a blue tinge to videos. Using a camera flash in your eye can lead to 'flash blindness' - temporary dark spots in your vision. In some cases, a permanent retinal burn can occur, leaving a small blind spot.

If you want to change your eye colour in a video, there is a safe way to do this on TikTok. Simply hit the + icon to create a new video, tap the Effects icon, and then scroll down until you reach the smiley emoji with blue eyes. Tap this filter, and your eyes will change colour without any risk to your eyesight.

So, if you come across the Bright Eye Challenge, don't be tempted to try it! It's important to remember that the pigmentation of your eyes is a genetic trait and cannot be changed. You could seriously harm your eyes or even go blind.

Using the TikTok true eye color filter

The "true eye color" trend on TikTok involves using a filter that changes the colour of your eyes. While there are several ways to unlock this effect, the easiest way is to follow these steps:

Firstly, ensure that your TikTok app is up to date. Launch the app and click on the "Plus icon" to create a new video. On the bottom left of the screen, you will find a button called "Effects". Tap on it, and then move to the "Trending" tab. Scroll down until you find a smiley face with big blue eyes.

Once you have activated the effect, you can go back to your TikTok camera to record a video. Make sure you are using the selfie camera as this effect only works for the front-facing camera. Now, try to record your face. The filter will take a second to identify your face, and then it will instantly change the colour of your eyes. You can then choose to save the video or send it out.

It is important to note that there have been concerns raised about other dangerous eye colour trends on TikTok, such as the "eye challenge" or the "S5 filter", which involve shining a bright light or flash directly into the eyes, which can lead to temporary or even permanent vision damage. The "true eye colour" filter, however, does not require any flash and is a safe way to change the colour of your eyes in your videos.

Using the TikTok S5 filter

The S5 filter on TikTok is a preset filter that gives a blue appearance to videos but does not change one's eye colour. The trend reportedly started with TikTok user Maliabroon (or Maliabroo), who posted a video explaining how the S5 filter can temporarily change brown eyes to blue. In the video, she points the flash of her back camera directly into her eyes along with the S5 filter. However, many people who tried the challenge found that it didn't work, and the filter only added a slight blue hue to the videos.

To use the S5 filter, first make sure your TikTok app is up to date. Launch the app and click on the "Plus icon" to create a new video. Click on the "Effects" button on the bottom left of the screen, then move to the Trending tab. Scroll down until you find the S5 filter, which is represented by a smiley face with big blue eyes.

Once you've selected the filter, you can start recording your video using the front camera. The colour of your eyes will change to light blue. You can also shake your phone to change the eye colour to purple or brown.

It's important to note that there are potential risks associated with shining a bright light directly into your eyes. Some users have reported experiencing flash blindness, where they see temporary black spots for a few minutes.

Using the TikTok smiley face with blue, glittering eyes filter

To see your true eye colour, it is recommended that you do not use the dangerous "eye challenge" that involves taking videos of your eyeballs with a phone flash and applying a filter. This method can be harmful to your eyes.

Instead, you can use the risk-free method of applying a filter on TikTok. To do this, first make sure your TikTok app is up to date. Then, launch the app and click on the "plus" icon to create a new video. Tap on the "Effects" button on the bottom left of the screen, then move to the "Trending" tab and scroll down until you find a smiley face with big blue, glittering eyes. Tap on the cute smiley, and your eyes will instantly change colour. You can then choose to save the video or send it right away.

This filter is powered by a serious AR (augmented reality) algorithm, which is why the colour change is so realistic. Shaking your phone will change the eye colour from blue to purple, green, or yellow.

It is important to note that this method may not reveal your "true" eye colour, as there are only two true eye colours in humans: brown and blue.

Using the TikTok app

There is a filter on the TikTok app that allows you to see your "true eye colour". This is an AR filter that changes the colour of your eyes. You can choose any colour you want.

To access the "true eye colour" filter, first make sure your TikTok app is up to date. Then, launch the app and click on the plus icon to create a new video. Click on "Effects" in the bottom left of the screen, then move to the "Trending" tab and scroll down until you see a smiley face with big blue eyes. Click on this to activate the filter.

Now, go back to the TikTok camera and make sure you are using the selfie camera. Record your face and the filter will take a second to identify your face and then it will change the colour of your eyes. You can save the video or send it straight away.

Please note that there was a dangerous trend circulating on TikTok that involved shining a bright light or camera flash directly into the eyes to change eye colour. This can lead to temporary dark spots in your vision, known as "flash blindness".
