The best Instagram filters for selfies
1. Filter without filter by alexandra_rmh
As the name suggests, it subtly enhances your facial features in a way that looks natural. Similar to the no-makeup makeup that is trending right now. The filter softens the skin and adds radiance. Besides, it is also the perfect filter for guys.
2. Luminous by Paola Alberdi
If glowing skin is your goal, Luminous should be in your arsenal. It smudges all fine lines and texture, giving you a creamy, dreamy, slightly tanned look. In addition, it is good in any situation, regardless of whether you are wearing makeup or not.
3. Basiquinho by myrellamoreiral
I usually avoid filters that put makeup on you because they look too messy. However, some do a pretty decent job and this is one of my favorites. It smoothes the skin, changes eye color and improves skin texture. However, this may not suit your requirements if you are looking for a no-makeup look.
4. Nice skin V.2 by dingmintt
In addition to giving you clean and supple skin, i.e. good skin, the filter also allows you to control the overall look. It boasts 4 options that will make your brow and eyeshadow game pop. In addition, you can adjust the intensity of the filter. Just move the slider on the right up and down.
5. Lolita v.2 by benjamin30323
Another makeup filter that doesn’t go over the top and is therefore on my list of favorites. The great thing about this is that his skin smooths out almost flawlessly and the little mole is quite realistic.
Popular aesthetic filters for Instagram
6. Clarendon by yhone_03
Clarendon is one of the most used and loved default filters for Instagram posts. You can use it in videos and stories. It cools your shot by increasing saturation and contrast, giving it a more mature look.
7. FAVX by agusfich
Instagram has a lot of grid filters, but this one is my favorite. Mainly because of the composition of the shot, there are a few super zoom shots and a few upside down shots. It’s great for capturing selfies or scenes from multiple angles.
8. Soft blur by tenangstories
Most people will consider blurry shots a mistake. But sometimes beauty is not in sharp shots. Defocused softness is what we need. And this filter does just that. He artistically blurs the subject without losing the essence.
9. Glitter on white by janmahavan
As Toni Collette said, “A life without glitter is no life.” But excessive gloss does not look stylish at all. That’s why I love this minimalistic yet brilliant filter. It shimmers with whites and highlights, creating a contrast with the rest of the image.
10. Instagram custom color
No matter what your aesthetic is, this filter will suit your taste. Just select the color of your choice and the entire image will be overlaid with it.
PS: If you like this one, try Instagram’s Color Highlighter. Instead of a full overlay, this one highlights the selected color and everything else fades to grayscale.
11. Filtros Do VSCO by boydfcz
VSCO is a hugely popular photo app for iPhone and this filter lets you enjoy some of the app’s most popular filters. Enjoy!
The coolest Instagram filters for guys
12. Light Huji by biancaolirs
The perfect combination of aesthetics and art. This gives your images the feel of a disposable camera and adds a flare effect around the edges. So, this is the perfect choice when you want to take a bojui-style selfie.
13. Sunrise Vibes by diogomiguelbaptista
They say nothing compares to the glow of the golden hour. I say that they may not have tested this filter because it can reproduce the light of the golden hour at any time of the day. In addition, it smoothens the skin and gives you a tan.
14. Grain 4 by olyamooure
Grain 4 gives a fine grainy texture reminiscent of old film. What I like about this is that it doesn’t darken the frame too much like other filters in this style.
15. Duo Tone II by Instagram
Fun and colorful filter will take your selfie game to the next level. In addition, it comes in four color options, each of which is very different.
Retro glass filters
16. Old movie⌃ by _ghosh_
This filter reminds me of silent black and white movies. It turns your videos and photos into grayscale and even packs genuine glitches and scratches.
17. That movie from the 90s shot at a shutter angle
This nail looks vintage. You’re greeted with pale tones, retro camera details on the frame (you can click on it to remove it, there are three styles available) and everything you need to create nostalgic vibes.
18. Tiffy ? by sarini.singh
Is there anything more retro than a polaroid? But the filter doesn’t stop there. It goes out of its way to make your photo/video look perfect in the old school spirit, with a black and white base, wide white borders and scratches.
19. VHS II by frevil_21
While recent phones have greatly improved video recording quality, old-school camcorders had a different charm. And whenever you want to feel that charm again, just use this filter.
Instagram trippy filter

A super cool filter that flips an image and adds two colored lines on top of it, creating a super duper trippy effect. And if you want variety, the filter gives you four options.

Filter the best games on Instagram
34. Catch the Snitch by harrypotterfilm
Are you a Harry Potter fan? Then it’s time to play Quidditch. You can play the game from the front and rear cameras, and interestingly, the gameplay is slightly different. So it’s like playing two games for the price of one filter.
