Halloween try-on Lenses can be found in Disguise's public profile on Snapchat by searching 'Disguise Costumes’ in the search bar.

Snapchatters can try-on, share with friends, and buy costumes of their favourite characters from the world’s hottest brands and franchises; Harry Potter, from NBCUniversal – The Office and Chuckyas well as Minecraft, Power Rangers, Transformers, Cobra Kai and Ghostbusters. Since January of last year, more than 250 million Snapchatters have engaged with AR shopping Lenses more than 5 billion times, with 92 per cent of Snapchatters showing interest in using AR for shopping. As more brands build AR shopping experiences on Snapchat, it’s a great opportunity to bring costume try-on to the app, Disguise said in a press release.
