Personal contrast technique is a hit on Tik Tok

A new filter, designed to enhance the natural difference between facial features, has been trending on the Tik Tok app. The invention was made by French makeup artist Aliénor, who claims to provide an easy, simple and quick way to enhance your natural beauty. The filter is based on a special effect created by the makeup artist herself that can be used and will help you notice the difference between your characteristics, such as skin color, eyes, hair.

How the contrast filter works

Using the filter is simple, users must be without makeup and in front of a source of natural light. The first step is to choose the skin tone that is closest to yours, which can be light, medium or dark. Then the filter helps determine the contrast level: low, medium or high. This approach does not require the user to purchase new products or know complex makeup techniques, making the process accessible and practical for everyone.
