Put away your best selfie face and shove all your insecurities aside so you can fully embrace the lenses that make you look crazy and ugly as opposed to perfect. Use them to make your face twist and distort into something almost unrecognizable before snapping a good one at just the right angle. Bonus points to you if you add a really funny caption with it. You can play around with lenses on your pets by first activating your front-facing camera and holding down your face to bring up the lenses, then switching to your back-facing camera and trying to get the app to recognize your pet’s facial features. Lenses are tricky with pets, but it’s possible to catch a good one. Make it rain with the cry-laughing face emoji. Put a giant coffee cup on your head. Give your cat some pink lips. The possibilities are truly endless. While it may take a little extra time to choose the correct colors and swipe your finger across the screen in just the right way to fill everything in, you can seriously make some pretty ridiculous masterpieces. Your friends might even question why Disney hasn’t hired you yet for their next big film. Try face swapping with the Starbucks lady on your coffee cup, the Spiderman design on your kid brother’s T-shirt, or the woman in that painting at the art gallery you’re visiting. If an object looks like it could have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, why not try seeing if Snapchat mistakes it for a face? Everywhere you look, things are waiting to be face swapped! As the person, animal, or object moves around, the emoji you just attached to it will move around with it. This takes some practice and doesn’t always work, but when it does, it looks pretty fun.
