The statement makeup trend shows no sign of slowing down, even if we don’t have anywhere to go to show it off. That hasn’t stopped makeup aficionados, with big and bold makeup inspiring many during the lockdown.

However, for those who aren’t as skilled with liner and lash glue, or don’t have time to get ready for a last-minute Zoom meeting, the L’Oréal have released Signature Faces, a range of 10 new filters that work with Snapchat, Instagram, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts, according to Beebom.

The 10 filters have been developed in collaboration with VICE’s creative agency, VIRTUE, and designed by L’Oréal Paris’ global makeup artist Val Garland, who was recently on BBC’s makeup show, Glow Up, and a team of very talented 3D digital artists.

There are a handful of digital looks to experiment with: Volumizing Capsules (3D speckles of chrome, pearl and glitter, which embellish lids and lashes), Plump Shot (a wash of lustrous gloss on lids and lips) and our favourite, Fire Match (smoky sunset-inspired eyeshadow with matching matte lipstick and hazy blush to boot).

The filters work on video calls, ideal for socially distance Zoom cocktail and quiz meetings, as well as on live streams and your social media feeds. The hyper-real looks mean that rushing around to do your makeup before video calls with friends, colleagues, or family is now a thing of the past!

Signature Faces is free and super easy to use. On Instagram, you can find them via L'Oréal Paris' profile. Tap the screen and fit the filter to your face before snapping a picture or recording. On desktop platforms, you can find each filter on Snap Camera. 

Once you download that to your laptop, you can use them during video calls on Google Hangouts, Google Duo, Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
