Also known as Water Transition, creating a perfect video is a huge task with multiple steps. To nail the water transition technique, start with your bare face. Then, in a dramatic gesture, splash water on yourself to reveal your flawless blue-eye makeup. This magical transformation is the heart of the trend. You must ensure the transition appears smooth and uninterrupted. This can be achieved using Instagram's transition feature or by using external applications or software to layer the before and after videos seamlessly, ensuring they play without interruption.
