NOT FAIR #2: Instagram's New Filters

This is a Special Edition of NOT FAIR!

 If you love doing your makeup, you probably love showing off your hard work on Instagram with selfies too. Today, instead of telling you how to get the same look as a fair skinned celebrity I'll be reviewing Instagram's new filters. So often brown skin is forgotten when new products are launched, lets see if Instagram remembered all us black unicorns!

#NOFILTER


 Here is the original photo. I chose a photo that was well lit and similar to the majority of my posts - a picture I took with my DSLR Camera then uploaded to Instagram.

#Selfie Grade: A+ 
I always vote no filter!


ADEN

#Selfie Grade: A 
I'm a sucker for soft light and a gentle glow. This would be perfect for outdoor shots on a sunny day!


CREMA

#Selfie Grade: C 
Two Words: Jaundiced Zombie
Where did all my life go?


LUDWIG

#Selfie Grade: A
This is how I look in the mirror and I like that.


PERPETUA

#Selfie Grade: D
The darkness above the eyes makes me look like a caveman. #notcute Also, didn't know I had forehead wrinkles, so thanks Instagram!


SLUMBER

#Selfie Grade: B+
This isn't the best filter for the photo I chose but I think it might have some artsy potential.



What do you think of Instagram's new filters. Let me know in the comments below!

  3. No filter is the best. With apps like VSCO cam, I've stopped using the instagram filters ages ago.
    But I think if you lessen the contrast in "Aden" it might look a little more artsy. Worth a try.
