How to participate in the 'Barbie, Bratz, or Fairy' challenge using TikTok's shapeshifting effectApril 21, 2024news Redeem now A TikTok trend shows users categorizing themselves as Barbies, Bratz, or fairies. Using TikTok's shapeshifting effect, faces can morphe into one of those characters.Other shapeshifting trends involving "Glee" or Marvel characters have also become popular on TikTok.One of the biggest TikTok trends of the moment involves using the app's shapeshifting effect to determine whether or not you most closely resemble a Barbie, a Bratz doll, or a fairy (from the Winx franchise, to be more specific). The shapeshifting effect became available in the United States in April, as Elite Daily reported. Per Elite Daily, it was first available in some parts of Europe and Asia as early as September 2020, but its American debut has brought about a new bout of virality and challenges.The effect's function is simple: you upload a photo, and the effect morphs your face into it.
Things become a bit more complicated when you upload a photo of a group of people. Then, the effect morphs your face into one of the people or characters on-screen, but until it actually happens, you won't know which.It's unclear exactly how the effect works, but the jokes and trends surrounding it are predicated on the idea that it morphs based on facial similarities. Insider has reached out to a representative for the app. TikTok users have used the effect for Marvel-related challenges ("Which Avenger are you?") as well as "Glee" ones, in which people cry after morphing into Matthew Morrison.As Vox's Rebecca Jennings wrote in The Goods newsletter, the comedy — and "specific kind of terror" — of the shapeshifting effect is that it is, in many cases, hilariously inaccurate.
An entire subgenre of these videos shows actors morphing into completely different cast members of shows that they've actually been on, rather than the characters they played.@lauramaranoSoooo....I guess my face...doesn’t look like my face??♬ Honest With You (With Alextbh) - Remix - Laura Marano & AlextbhThe "Barbie, Bratz, or fairy" use of the effect is the latest to flood the platform. @tattooobabyyyIM A BRATZ PERIOD 😂💙 ##fyp♬ original sound - tattoobabyyy @nico1eodeoncropped picture at the end
