Apparently this can temporarily change one's eye colour. But social media users have discovered that this trick actually does not work. trend was started by TikTok user  Maliabroo. She originally shared video claiming that new filter called S5 on TikTok could actually change eye colour from brown to blue.

In reality, filter only ds a slightly blue hue to videos and does not do anything else. trend quickly took off and while in Malibroo's video it seems to be working filter seems useless in countless or videos that have been flooding platform.
