Red eyes are the effect that can spoil any photo, so they try to get rid of it. But in certain cases, its presence will only be a plus, adding a certain charm to the frame. Many active TikTok users have a similar opinion, because they shoot such videos. And we will try to repeat them, or rather, explain how this is done. Let’s understand how to make red eyes in Tik Tok.
Explanation
You won’t be able to find the desired effect in the application library, the developers haven’t added it yet. Therefore, it will have to be achieved precisely during the shooting. The easiest way is to use a flashlight (phone flash) and a mirror in a dark room. Bright rays of light will fall on the eyes, and then reflected and fall on the camera. In such a situation, a characteristic redness will appear on the photo or video.
Try experimenting to achieve the desired result. This will be our top recommendation. And here’s a good example:

Change eye color
I would also like to mention a few interesting effects in TikTok that fit the topic of the article. Firstly, the application provides for changing the color of the eyes. Getting to it will work like this:
- Start shooting a video and go to the effects list.
- Go to the Appearance tab.
- Scroll down the list until you find this element:
- Tap on it, then “Eye Color”.
- Now try blinking a few times, then you will understand how it works.
- Record a video if you like the result.
Laser sight
Surely, many have seen the “Oh May” meme from a man with red eyes or a laser look.
That’s quite falls under the topic of our article, so now we will tell you how to repeat it on Tik Tok. Here is a step by step guide for your convenience:
- Again, start creating a movie and open the Effects.
- Visit the Appearance section of the top bar.
- Find the iconic eye ray thumbnail and then tap on it.
- Now tap a blank area of the screen a few times and watch for interesting changes.
First, the screen will shake, and then your eyes will glow red, as if emitting lasers. And characteristic gloomy music has already been superimposed on top, which, in which case, can be changed to any other.
Addition
In the course of the article, we briefly explained why people get red eyes in photos and videos – it’s all about the reflection of light. This effect can be achieved at home, it is enough to have a flash or a powerful flashlight, a large mirror and a dark room. But in the TikTok library, unfortunately, it is not.
But there are several other options on how to decorate the video. We also talked about them in separate chapters of the article.
