To do the challenge, TikTok content creators will use the blue eyes filter of the app. First, they will do a facial expression with their real eyes.

Then, they will do the same expression. But, this time, they will use the blue eyes filter.

Based on the videos, their faces look more intense with their eyes in the color blue (of course, this still depends on people's perspectives).
