Instagram filters have taken over the app and the latest one gives you a lip filler, without actually getting one. Here’s how to get Pillow Face Filter!
Ever since Kylie Jenner got lip filler in 2015 at the age of 17, fillers have become a trend. Cosmetic surgery is very common nowadays among young people and social media beauty filters have been motivating users to get things done to their face to look flawless. At the same time, filters help you pretend you did get a botox when in reality you didn’t, skipping the painful process and saving some money!
What is the Pillow Face Filter on Instagram?
The Pillow Face filter on Instagram, which is also known as the “botox filter,” became popular after several celebrities starting using it, including Sophie Turner and Rita Ora.

Using this Instagram filter, the lips of a person are plumped out as if they have lip fillers, while it also gives the illusion that they have had botox.
This filter was created by @jhoyaugust, who is the filter creator of many Instagram effects. J. Augusto decided to name the filter “Pillow Face,” probably because it makes you look swollen as if you just woke up.
