Double ÉveilTikTok videos without showing your face: 5 formats that work
You don't need to show your face to present a product on TikTok. Your hands, a voice-over or on-screen text are enough, as long as you show real proof. Here are five simple formats, and the rules that still apply.
The 5 formats
| Format | What you film | For which product |
|---|---|---|
| Demo | Camera on your hands, the product in action | Gadgets, kitchen, storage |
| Comparison | Two items side by side, one criterion at a time | Products with well-known alternatives |
| Comment reply | You answer a real question you received | Any product that raises questions |
| What you really get | Unboxing and real size | Products whose size surprises |
| Mistakes to avoid | Three mistakes, three fixes | Technical or how-to products |
Replacing your face
- Your hands: the most natural way to show a product.
- A voice-over: recorded somewhere quiet, close to the mic.
- On-screen text: short, readable, at the top or center of the frame.
The rules that still apply
- Disclosure: TikTok's setting on, plus "ad" in the video (US) or a prominent "Ad" label (UK).
- Music: the Commercial Music Library for commercial content.
- AI: label any realistic AI-generated content.
- Originality: no reposted videos from other accounts.
Watch out
"Faceless" doesn't mean "proofless". A video that doesn't show the product in action convinces nobody.
