20 Instagram Story Filters Perfect for Darker Skin Tones

Instagram has been tearing the Gworls up lately. They have managed to fuse every aspect that makes other platforms unique into their interface, and honestly, I’m not mad at it. It was just a little while ago, though, that Instagram was so focused on swiping features from other platforms that they fell behind when it came to filters for their stories. We all know that IG snatched the 15-second story idea from Snapchat, but it dropped the ball when it came to competing with Snapchat’s filter game. If you’re anything like me, you would record on Snap using their filter, save it, and then upload it to Instagram, which was an annoying but necessary process.

But, Now, BAYBEE! Instagram is pulling up to the party with bells and whistles galore. They have been hitting the mark with filters, and I couldn’t contain myself sifting through the hundreds to find perfect ones for me. I quickly discovered that it was a bit tedious searching for filters that complimented my milk chocolate hue without turning my eyes blue and cinching my nose. So, like any other good typical black Queen would do, I sat and went through a bunch of filters to pinpoint the ones that will have you saying Yaaaaaaaaaassss! every time you use it. I made it super easy to build your arsenal of super fire filters by linking the filter with the filter name, so all you have to do is tap, save and, be beautiful!. Now keep in mind these filters work at their best when in some bomb lighting. If you need a ring-light referral, check out the one I live by!

Happy Filter Saving!
