A Chinese beauty influencer has gone viral after a livestream filter allegedly malfunctioned, briefly revealing what many viewers believe to be her natural appearance.
Clips of the moment quickly spread across social media, showing the unnamed influencer’s face appearing noticeably different from the heavily filtered version her followers were used to seeing.
According to Yahoo, the footage is believed to have originated from Douyin.
In the widely circulated clips, her facial proportions appeared altered once the filter dropped, with some viewers pointing out visible differences in her complexion and facial features.
Social media reports, referenced by The New York Post, suggest that she may have lost 140,000 followers following the incident.
The incident sparked a flurry of reactions online.
“The irony is that she actually looks better without the filter,” one commenter wrote, adding that the filter made her features appear disproportionate.
Another user expressed sympathy, saying, “It’s unfortunate because she’s actually really pretty regardless. I hate that she feels like the filter is better.”
Others voiced broader frustration over digital beauty standards. “So tired of people changing their true features and posting it. Smaller facial features do not suit everyone’s face,” one comment read.
