Abstract/Summary

Eyes, nose, lips is a short psychological drama of the temptation and decline of Mae, an average-looking Filipina YouTube beauty vlogger. Mae has always been obsessed with beauty products, making sure she's always up-to-date with the latest trends, leaning towards Korean beauty trends. Moreover, she constantly micromanages her food intake in order to achieve the ideal physique. She lives with her best friend, Lia, an effortless beauty whom she looks up to, who also just recently began her own vlogging channel. A fight ensues between them due to the response from their video collaboration, testing the strength of their friendship. As result, Mae considers surgery to cover up her insecurities, but it was not only her face that she had covered, but her identity as well. Therefore, when she reconciles with Lia and goes home, her best friend no longer recognizes her, asking, Who are you?
