1. The dog

This can be appropriately labeled as the “day one” filter, and after receiving hundreds since its birth, I can say with confidence that apparently no one looks bad with a pair of floppy ears and oversized nose and tongue. Dogs are inarguably exceedingly lovable, and you will be too when you use this filter.

2. The sad face

This is a personal favorite for when I’m feeling discontent and wish to convey this to others, but also want to maintain a flawless complexion. It certainly relays that something has gone awry, while at the same time ensuring everyone that you’re still looking good.

3. The butterfly

Something about this one just makes the user glow. Its ethereal vibe offers a magical appearance and let’s not forget about the butterflies, which provide a fabulous prop. I tend to retreat to this one when my natural selfie game is off to take advantage of its powers.

4. The chubby cheeks/glasses

This one makes you look like an adorable nerd, which is never a bad thing. It can effectively demonstrate your sense of humor as you either work hard- or pretend to work hard. I break this one out during finals to provide comic relief not only for others, but for myself in the midst of academic hell.

5. The pug

Considering the only distinguishable feature of yours that will be shown is your teeth, it’s the perfect choice for when you’re not feeling as photo-ready as usual. No matter your physical state, you’ll simply look like a pug- and what’s to hate about that?
