Here’s how to turn yourself into three of Snapchat’s greatest filters this Halloween

How many times have you wished your favorite Snapchat filter could follow you around in real life? Like a million? OK, me too. Thanks to makeup artist extraordinaire, Allison Pynn, your dreams are now a reality.

Guarantee yourself a place on the best costume podium this Halloween by turning yourself into one of Snapchat’s most popular filters: the dog face, the rainbow mouth or the crybaby.

First up: The dog filter.

Step 1: Cut out the dog ears

Trace an outline of the ears onto a brown piece of felt and cut them out. Trace a smaller outline on a piece of pink felt and cut those out as well. Bend a pipe cleaner into the shape of the ears and use spray adhesive to attach the pipe cleaner to the pink pieces of felt. Then spray the brown pieces of felt with adhesive and stick the pink pieces on top, with the pipe cleaner in-between.

Leave a few inches of the pipe cleaner sticking out of the end of the ears. These pieces will be used to attach the ears to the headband.

Step 2: Attach them to a headband

Wrap a piece of brown felt around a headband and use spray adhesive to adhere the felt to the headband. Once the felt is securely in place, attach the ears by wrapping the end of the pipe cleaners around the headband.

Step 3: Outline the lighter nose section

Use light brown face paint to draw the outline for the nose and fill it in.

Step 4: Outline and fill in the darker section

Use a darker brown to outline and fill in the tip of the nose.

Step 5: Add shading and dots

Give your nose some dimension by adding a little light brown to the tip of the darker section. Use black face paint to draw a line down the center of the nose and to create the effect of having whiskers.

Step 6: Draw the tongue

Outline the tongue with light pink face paint and then use a deep red to highlight the edges.

Step 7: Fill in the tongue

Paint the entire inside of the tongue light pink.

Step 8: Add dimension

Use the same deep red used to outline the tongue to draw a line down the center of the tongue. You can mix a little white paint with the pink paint and apply the lighter shade to either side of the dark red line for added depth.

The finished look

Bend the ears so they tilt forward and securely place the headband on your head.

Next: The rainbow mouth

Step 1: Apply white eyeliner

Create the effect of big eyes by applying a thin line of white paint (or white eyeliner) to your lower eyelid.

Step 2: Add false lashes

Cut a strip of false eyelashes in half and apply half of the strip to the outer section of your eyelid. This will help give the appearance of super-sized eyes.

Step 3: Outline the lower lash line

Use black face paint (or eyeliner) to draw a lower lash line under the white line you already added.

Step 4: Draw the lower lashes

Draw lower eyelashes along the edge of the lash line.

Step 5: Add rosy cheeks

Apply light pink face paint to your cheeks to really amp up the cartoony feel of this look.

Step 6: Draw the rainbow mouth

Starting with red paint, use a medium-sized brush to draw a thick stripe down your lower lip and onto your chest. Create five more stripes in orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Add multiple layers of each color to really make them pop.

Step 7: Add some sparkle

Use white paint to add some faux sparkle to the rainbow. Start by making a cross and then fill in the center portion of the cross to give your rainbow a real twinkle effect.

The finished look

Ta-da!

Next: The crybaby

Step 1: Paint your face white

Use a large brush to apply white face paint to your entire face.

Step 2: Draw dark eyebrows

Add some dramatic brows by using black paint to draw thick, arched eyebrows.

Step 3: Draw crease lines

Use a fine brush and black paint to draw crease lines around the brows, mouth, nose and cheeks.

Step 4: Color and outline the eyes

Cover the eyelid in blue paint and then outline your eyes with black paint. Extend the liner out past your eye, almost to the end of your eyebrow to create a winged look. Draw on a few dark lashes above the winged liner to give the appearance of oversized lashes.

Step 5: Draw the tears

Use dark blue paint to outline the tears under your right eye. Then use a lighter shade of blue in the center of the teardrops to add a little dimension.

Step 6: Add a bold lip

Use red paint (or a bright red lipstick) to fill in your lips.

The finished look

Practice your scowl before heading to this year’s Halloween party to make sure you’re prepared to snag the perfect Insta-worthy pic.

How to remove

All these killer makeup looks require some pretty heavy-duty makeup. To remove all those layers of face paint, we used Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water. It removes makeup, cleanses and refreshes your skin all at the same time.
