Based on their millions of followers, the most popular celebs have perfected their Instagram filter game -- and sometimes it doesn't include a filter at all.

A new report from Noisey reveals how the biggest pop stars are using Instagram. Based on the last 250 posts from the 15 most followed musicians, the information breaks down the most popular filters these celebs use.

According to the graphic, Beyoncé has the biggest following on Instagram when it comes to musicians and uses a filter less than 25 percent of the time. Ariana Grande is also a fan of that #nofilter life, and it seems to be working since she comes in right behind Queen Bey with 26.4 million followers.

Besties Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are a little more active with filters. T. Swift uses them on more than half her posts and prefers Mayfair, while SelGo is more into the Slumber filter. Rounding out the top five musicians on Instagram is Justin Bieber, who slaps a filter on about half his posts.

When these pop stars do use Instagram filters, Mayfair is the most popular. Amaro and X-Pro II are also used a lot followed by Beyoncé’s most used filter, Valencia. Filters that hardly get any love from celebs include 1977, Brooklyn and (of course) Kelvin.

Other photo filter apps might be used before posting, but as far as Instagram filters go, less is sometimes more. So next time you're looking for that double tap on a photo, you might take a tip from these celebs and reconsider letting Instagram touch it up for you.

12 Instagram Tips
The Pool & Ocean Combo(01 of12)
Open Image Modal
From the main building, walking towards the pools, the epic fountains and pool provide a great shot, but having the ocean in the background is the icing on the cake.
The Chapel Shot(02 of12)
Open Image Modal
It's almost impossible to get a bad shot of the iconic chapel on property, but taking it from an elevated view, helps to provide a bit more ocean envy.
My Room Is Better Than Yours(03 of12)
Open Image Modal
If you are going to take a hotel room shot, include the best assets...in this case, the ocean view kind of steals the show.
Pool Reflections(04 of12)

That blue water of the adult pool looks pretty inviting, right? It was 6AM and the place was cleared out, but nobody needs to know that.
Top Floor Views(05 of12)

The views from the top of the Napua Tower. I wasn't necessarily staying on the top level, but I just used the elevator for the better shot.
Check Out My Bed(06 of12)

This one might be a bit tricky. Gaining access to the top suites isn't as easy as asking, as they are usually occupied, but if you are lucky, you can ask for a tour. This happens to be the master bedroom within the Grand Suite.
#CababaLife(07 of12)

Anytime you are in a cabana, life is pretty good. This action shot was pure coincidence, but it worked.
Food Symmetry (08 of12)
Open Image Modal
At the Grand Wailea, there are always events going on, and a lot of them are open to all guests. The food presentations make for some great food shots vs the typical photo of your plate.
The Lighting Is Just Right(09 of12)

After a few days, you will know exactly when the sun will provide the most brilliant of colors. But remember, Instagram also has filters...
I'm Still Here(10 of12)

It might seem a bit childish to save your daily wristbands, but it also reminds everyone of the length of your vacation.
Ready For My Close Up(11 of12)
Open Image Modal
If you are going to do food close ups, look for something with some texture and color. Again, this was another event I stumbled upon while walking the grounds.
Working Hard(12 of12)

For the ultimate in Instagram envy, show the world how you work while on vacation. This happens to be me, and I was actually truly working...sort of.
