Ever wondered how a beauty streamer manages to look so flawless? This video examines how filters on platforms like Douyin and Bilibili in China can completely alter one's appearance, creating an idol-like image that captivates viewers.
China just banned “fake faces” on livestreams. On paper, it’s about filters, makeup, and “healthy beauty.”
In this episode, we start with one clip: a Chinese beauty streamer whose filter crashes mid‑stream. In one frame she goes from “internet goddess” to “tired auntie after a 12‑hour shift,” and chat explodes. Some viewers demand a ban on beauty filters. Others joke that even a 200‑pound guy with dirty feet can become a “super pretty woman.”
Beijing responds with a “no‑makeup order” and new rules from the China Association of Performing Arts and other regulators. They say they’re protecting vulnerable users and restoring “authentic” beauty.
That’s the official story. Underneath is a very different machine.
