What your favorite Snapchat filter says about you
Which filter is your ride-or-die?
While Snapchat is always changing it up and introducing fun new face filters, we can always count on the core ones to be there for us. And as face-recognition technology improves, the meanings behind the different filters become more complex.
Your favorite filter can reveal a lot about you. Here's what it means if one of the following filters is your bae:
You May Also Like
Flower Crown
After waking up with a smile on your face this morning, you left your roommate a "Have a nice day!" note, you sipped a pressed juice and then you biked to work with organic doughnuts in your basket.
Face Warps
You are a goofball and you love to show it. You have a few frisbees lying around your apartment just in case, you make a mean grilled cheese and you can't resist pranking your friends even though you're supposed to be an adult.
Pretty Wash
You're a good friend and a good looker. You dutifully go to Sunday brunch with your pals even when you don't want to, you read romance novels ironically and you're almost ready to finally get that Yorkie you've been dreaming about for years.
Stereotypical Nerd
You never forget to bring a book with you on the train, you're happy to order Seamless from whichever restaurant your friends want and you are always able to make others laugh.
Dog
Your favorite people are the strangers who let you pet their dog on the street, your guilty pleasure is watching movies like Miss Congeniality and you still check in with your elementary school pen pal at least once a year.
Glittery Scar from The Lion King
You're a trendsetter, unafraid to share your sassy side with the world. You love trying new bars, fashion trends and slang. You're the life of the party without even trying.
Pink Glowing Flower Crown
You're such a good shopper that people think your Forever 21 clothes are designer, and you jot down notes in a cute notebook instead of on your phone. Your guilty pleasures are taking pictures of your food (that actually turn out well) and checking Kylie Jenner's Snapchat.
Makeup Filters
You appreciate a good bar but prefer a night in with your bae, Netflix. You've got a cool job and a great apartment, but every now and then you like to browse the listings for an upgrade – may as well live your best life.
Face Swap With a Questionable Celebrity
If you import a face onto yours that provides horrifying results, such as Argus Filch from Harry Potter, it's clear you're not afraid to momentarily scare your friends away and show off your playful side. You love all things nerdy, from binging Doctor Who to researching the historical accuracy of biopics.
Two-Person Filters
For all those times you feel silly Snapping in public alone, the friendship filters (and your friends) are there for you. You appreciate the little things, like a home-cooked meal, a good haircut and an afternoon spent scrolling through your news feed while sitting on the opposite side of the couch from your bestie.
Just keep the horrifying face swaps to yourself.
