If you've been in TikTok you've probably been introduced to the canthal Tilt Filter. But what is this tilt referring to? The canthal tilt refers to the positioning of your eyes and measures the tilt from the inner corner to the outer corner of your eyes.
So if your eyes slant upwards, it's a positive tilt. If your eyes slant downward, it's a negative tilt.
Dr. Ari Hoschander, a board-certified plastic surgeon, says that a positive canthal tilt ”has the potential to enhance a person’s feminine, attractive, and youthful appearance. Conversely, a negative canthal tilt may contribute to an older, more fatigued, and distressed look.”
