Have you seen those videos floating around Instagram that positively sparkle? Maybe one of your favorite celebs or influencers have posted their own glamorous story lately, and you’re looking to get in on the action.
In today’s post, we’re going to talk all about how to create a sparkly video just like you’ve seen going around Insta lately. If you LOVE glamorous effects and want to use the same app celebrities and influencers are using to create this look in their instagram stories, you’re definitely going to want to either check out the video, or keep reading below.
The app we’re going to use to get that look is KiraKira. A quick disclaimer, it’s not a free app, but it is just 99 cents, and I think you’ll find that it’s completely worth it. One of the best parts about KiraKira is that it’s so easy to use; it doesn’t take much at all to pick up on how to use it.
After you’ve downloaded it, you can open the app to take a video or picture with either the front-facing or rear-facing camera. Or, you can upload a picture or video you’ve already taken into the app.
To choose what kind of sparkles you’d like to add to your content, simply swipe left or right through the options, and then use the record or capture button to record a video or take a photo. If you uploaded content you’ve already taken, it’ll load the filter you select on top of your content. And, if you want to add or decrease the amount of sparkles in your photo, you can adjust the intensity on the vertical slider on the upper right hand side.
Kirakira works by finding anything remotely shiny in the image, and making it really super sparkly, so you’ll get the best results with a photo or video by capturing something that already reflects light. The filters are really fun to play around with, and if you open the app and just pan your surroundings and watch your screen, you’ll get a play-by-play of what the most sparkly things to capture are.
Whenever you take a picture or record video with KiraKira, it’ll be automatically saved to your camera roll, so this makes it easy to capture content to post later.
It’s as simple as that! Take a picture, apply a filter, and upload to enjoy some seriously sparkly and glamorous Instagram stories!

Every Instagram user is obsessed with using glitter filters on their selfies, but how do you find them?
A new type of filter has become hugely popular on Instagram recently called beauty filters.
They aim to enhance your appearance by smoothing your skin, plumping your lips and even adding longer eyelashes.

Glitter filters are a type of beauty-enhancing filter that Instagram users enjoy applying to their selfies and videos.
There are loads of different ones to choose from on Instagram, and they all add small specks of silver glitter that glisten as you film your video. They also often smooth your skin at the same time.

Social media users love Glitter Filters
It’s safe to say that Instagram users are pretty obsessed with glitter filters, and some people simply won’t be seen on Instagram stories without one applied.
One person wrote on Twitter: “I swear that glitter filter on Instagram, if I could use it for every picture I would.”
“This glitter Instagram filter is making me look 10x better than I actually do,” said another.
However others aren’t too keen on the glitters filters, claiming they change your appearance too much and are generally pretty fake and annoying annoying.
One Twitter user said: “An Instagram filter would be all cute, not too crazy, has you still kinda looking like yourself & then boom, some damn sparkling twinkling glitter looking stuff on top goes & ruins it…Why?”
Another said: “Unpopular opinion: The sparkly glitter filter on your Instagram selfie videos is not fooling anyone.
You just look lame.”

Thank you for your time Recently, many celebrities, bloggers and makeup artists have started adding real-time glitter effect to their videos. A similar "sparkling" effect can often be seen in videos about sequined dresses, illuminating eye shadows, rhinestone-embellished shoes, etc. Apple in Telegram and YouTube. Subscribe! Download Kirakira+ app for iPhone and iPad (App Store) This app is currently a top app in the App Store and is only available for iOS. The application detects shiny, bright or metallic parts of an object and adds an animated "sparkle" effect. The program can work with both photos and videos, but in the latter case, Kirakira + is more efficient. nine0003 The app has been around for over two years, but has only recently become hugely popular, surpassing other paid apps like Facetune. Most likely, such a rapid growth in popularity is associated with its "star" users. For example, it is used by models Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-White, as well as Instagram fashion director Eva Chen. Kirakira+ has three shooting modes, you can record video, simple full screen or square picture. Posted by 아이니웨딩 웨딩플래너 조영진실장? (@dw__5712) Kirakira+ offers a variety of filters to brighten up your shots, change the tint and intensity of the glitter effect, and more. You can change the settings by swiping left on the gadget's screen. BY TOPIC: ModiFace for iPhone will select makeup (cosmetics, lip botox, hair) in real time and completely free of charge. nine0380 All footage is automatically stored in the gallery, then you will need to manually post it to Instagram or any other social network. Other examples of videos created using the Kirakia+ application: Posted by Positive and Elegant☀ (@sunnysfantacy) 
, but this is not an Instagram filter, but a mobile editor called Kirakira+. nine0003
The application uses the main and front cameras of the smartphone, in addition, you can use the flash when shooting in low light conditions. nine0003
