TikTok, the hub of all things trendy, has been delighting its users with an endless trove of content for years. As more and more people join in on all the fun that the social media app brings – even amidst all the negativity and downright danger – the app’s popularity does not seem to cease. Among the latest trends making waves on the platform is the ‘What I Think I Look Like vs. What I Really Look Like’ trend.
Like many of the trends that come up on the app, this one also appears to be a rather self-explanatory trend among the users, but ultimately what makes it interesting is the diversification of the themes. The more people try this trend, the more it grows, and truth be told – the funnier it gets. If you’re one of the many people that have come across this trend on TikTok, here’s exactly what this trend entails, and how to make the best use of it possible.
How to use TikTok’s viral ‘What I Think I Look Like vs. What I Really Look Like’ trend?
This viral trend may seem simple, but it packs a comedic punch. Essentially, it involves creating a funny narrative that showcases your idealized appearance while engaged in an activity, contrasted with the harsh reality of how you actually look to everyone else. Moreover, the use of filters is exactly what makes everything even better. They not only help beautify you in the “What I Think I Look Like” moment but also make you look hilariously worse in the rest of the video.
To make the most of this trend, you’ll need to come up with a unique and relatable scenario that’ll have viewers clicking and laughing in no time. Now, for that coveted “What I Think I Look Like” moment, go ahead and select the “Bold Glamour” filter. It’ll enhance your features and give your skin a flawless touch. As for the “What I Really Look Like” part, use the “Striking Face” filter. In the end, don’t forget to add the audio track “Eyes Without a Face” by piscesstarad. If you’re still unsure how to execute this trend, take a peek at these examples to get a better idea.
While this trend has almost been exhausted to the point of having users longing for a breath of fresh air, there is always someone desperately seeking a new wave of creativity to wash away the tiresome remnants of the trend. And if you have any creative ideas to spark it up, go ahead and try the trend for yourself.
