Don't know what to be yet for Halloween? Let these celeb-loved Snapchat filter makeup tutorials inspire you!
Starting with Ariana's fav deer filter.
Oh, Deer!
Step 1: Prep your skin with Make Up For Ever Skin Equalizer (or any primer you have on hand) to even out skin tone and texture. Then use a full-coverage foundation on your whole face—you can also try a little sculpting with a foundation stick.
Pro tip: Know your face shape before you start sculpting. If you have more volume on the upper part of your head, you can contour more on the forehead. And if you're the opposite and have more volume near your jawline, contour more on the jawline for more natural sculpting effects.
Oh, Deer!
Step 2: On your hand or a paper plate, mix primary red, primary yellow and a tiny bit of brown together (from the Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Color Case) until you create the perfect burnt-orange color.
Starting in the middle of your forehead, just above the bridge of your nose, apply the orange makeup by blending out like a sunset with your brush. After that, bring the color down the center of your nose, creating a thin line—keeping the line skinny will give the illusion of a super-slender nose. Then, using a regular blush technique, move onto the apples of your cheeks with the orange color.
Pro tip: Blend the makeup out for an ombre effect—the color should be heavy in the center of the face, but feathery as it pans out.
Oh, Deer!
Step 3: It's time to add white details! To create the dots on your forehead, dip the back your Make Up For Ever brush in white makeup and stamp as desired (if symmetry is what you're striving for, start by making three vertical dots at the start of each eyebrow and go from there).
Now add the nose detail by covering it from the middle of your bridge down and connecting the sides to the start of your cheeks.
Oh, Deer!
Step 4: Using a super-dark black eyeliner, draw an upside-down heart on your nose and fill it in. Then going along the divots above your nostrils, round out the color some more.
Step 5: On your eyes, add a natural brown shadow to your whole lid—no precision needed. Then with the same black eyeliner from your nose, you're going to create the double-winged liner look. To really define the eyes, move the cat-eye liner details into the crease of your eye instead of on your lash line like normal.
Then pop on your ears and hit the forest!
Jennifer Lopez
If you're looking for a serious makeup adventure this Halloween, follow J.Lo's lead by becoming that barfing-rainbow unicorn filter.
Unicorns Are Real
Step 1: Prep skin with foundation, use concealer for visible coverage and do some minimal sculpting on the forehead and chin.

Step 2: This step is all about exaggerated eyeliner! Start with a stark-white eyeliner, like the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Waterproof Eye Pencil in Matte White, and apply it to your inner waterline (the skin in between your eyeball and lashes) as well as a bit past your bottom lashes. Once you're done with the white, grab a black eyeliner and draw a line on your bottom lash lines with it.
Then add a ton of blush to your cheeks—any color can be used!
Unicorns Are Real
Step 3: For the rainbow mouth, start on the side and apply/draw on one color at a time—the lines will go from the bottom of your lips to below your collarbone. Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Color Case was used here, but any red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink cream makeup can be used.

Step 4: It's time for glitter! You definitely want to use Mist & Fix Setting Spray—it actually seals the glitter and not a lot setting sprays actually do that. So spray your rainbow then blow the glitter onto you (if someone else is there with you have them put some in their hand then gently blow it onto you for a manual airbrush effect). Once you have the desired sparkle, spray yourself again to double seal it.
Pro tip: If you're wanting even more glitz, add some glitter to your hair and part!
Selena Gomez
Who doesn't want to be a bronzed goddess with a gold butterfly crown? Exactly.
Here's how to recreate that gorgeous Selena-loved filter.
Bronzed Social Butterfly
Step 1: Prep your skin with primer to even out skin tone and texture. Then use a full-coverage foundation on your whole face!

Step 2: You really want to sculpt the skin for this look. To give it more of a filtered effect, you're going to highlight and contour your face. (Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Palette is a great tool to use for this.) Contour your cheekbones and do a little on your forehead then add extra highlight to your cheeks just above where you've contoured.

Step 3: Using brown and bronze eye shadows, contour and highlight your eye shape—this will leave you with a bit of a smoky eye. Then add some eyeliner to make your eyes pop more (white on the inside, black on the top and dark brown at the outer edges).
Step 4: Finish this look with a natural lip liner and a nude lip.

Step 5: Just add glitter! Sprinkle some gold glitter (if you use two different colors of gold it'll give you a little more dimension) onto your hair, around your headpieces.
Kylie Jenner
There's a reason the puppy filter has never been taken away from us!
If Kylie's fav is also your fav, enjoy the following instructions on how to get the look IRL.

Step 1: Prep your skin with primer to even out skin tone and texture. Then use a full-coverage foundation on your whole face!

Step 2: Using brown eye shadows, create a soft brown smoky eye that continues under your eye. Then with a black eyeliner, define both lash lines (top and bottom).
Step 3: Add fake lashes to your look for extra drama!

Step 4: Time to draw your nose! Take any dark brown pencil and draw a giant bean shape across your nose—that's going to be your muzzle. With a lighter brown pencil you're going to fill in the bean shape, leaving out one small circle in the center of your nose. Then with your darker brown color you're going to fill in the center of your nose!
Step 5: Now, take a skinny brush and make those whisker dots on each side of your nose with black or dark brown shadow.
Woof!
