Apple Teams Up With TikTok Stars to Boost Its Pencil & iPad
The Playlist Powering It
Apple has teamed up with popular TikTok influencers — most notably Olivia Rodrigo — to splash new life onto its Procreate app, Apple Pencil, and iPad. The collaboration shines bright in a creative showcase that pairs her latest single, “Brutal,” with the Face‑Mask Illustrations feature.

Bottom Line
Procreate’s FacePaint Unleashes a Mask‑Making Frenzy
Ever wanted to turn your selfie into a comic‑style cover? Procreate’s new FacePaint feature makes that a breeze. It lets you craft a custom filter that feels just like the wild overlays you see on Snapchat and TikTok.
Meet the Mask‑Making Mavericks
- Fiona Viaje – Gives you step‑by‑step tips on stitching your own illustrated face masks.
- Braedon O’Brien – Shows folks how to layer colors and textures for maximum jaw‑dropping effect.
They’ve dropped short, punchy videos—about 45 seconds each—so you can jump right into the action without any hang‑over time. The coolest part? The videos tag along with #BrutalMasks so you’re part of a growing trend that’s all about going bold.
Why This Matters
- Procreate keeps staying ahead of the curve by adding features that feel like a cross‑platform party.
- The new 3‑minute cap on TikTok videos means creators like Fiona and Braedon have more room to show off their artistic flair.
- Last time Apple tapped TikTok for a product launch was back in November and March—when a handful of online influencers hyped the iPhone 12 mini and AirPods Pro.
So, whether you’re an aspiring designer or just looking to prank your friends, FacePaint offers a quick, fun way to bring your imagination to life—and it’s all anchored in that unmistakably playful Procreate vibe we all love.
