Now you can do it easily on your iPhone! Face Makeover includes softener effects that glamor photographers use to smooth skin imperfections. Adding softener effects to a photo gives it a soft, dreamy haze that leaves skin looking as good as a magazine cover model. It's perfect for close-up photos and portraits - any photo where you want to see the face, but not the blemishes. Also included is a special toon filter that renders your pictures cartoonish/poster-like. The effect is also softened to make pictures artistically dreamy and heavenly. The user interface is very easy and intuitive. Hassle free – just push one button, and Face Makeover will do all the hard work for you! It’s that simple! Select from your photo albums or simply use the iPhone camera to take a picture of your friends, family, pets, or landscape. Don’t have a picture just yet? Don’t worry. Use the demo pictures provided. Get started immediately! There are three color modes to choose from: Color, sepia, and black-and-white. You can even control how much detail (line features) you want for your subject with the push of a button. ** Note: This is the Lite Version of Face Makeover. In the Full Version (ADS/WATERMARK FREE), you can SAVE/EMAIL the result. ## Key features - Skin smoothing effects - Dreamy softener effects - Toon filter - Adjustable detail control - Color, sepia, and black-and-white modes - Easy one-button operation ## Recent user reviews (10 of 50) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/face-makeover-lite/id362639789/reviews.md ### 4/5 — I love it! But... *2012-12-06, version 2.11* I love this app! I've been looking for an app that makes the pics "soft" like this one! My only concern is that you can't save it! :( that's my only problem! Then I have to screen shoot it && I crop it && it's to horizontal ! Please update with saving button please !! 💕😏 ### 1/5 — NOOO!!!! *2012-06-02, version 2.11* I don't like it at all this stupid app won't let me save my picture that I makeovered ad I spent like an hour or two trying to figure out how to save my makeovered picture!!! 😡 DON'T GET IT!!! ### 1/5 — No undo means continual redo *2012-04-10, version 2.11* 1. Quit complaining you can't save -- this is a trial or "light" version for you to TRY OUT. 2. It is not a game (to play). 3. I got this to try the feature they tout the most in their description - the complexion smoothing feature. Too bad it is not available in this version (unless they intend this to be the "color" option which is really a blurry option). 4. Otherwise you can try the features of: a cartoon effect, sepia, b&w which are 1 button unadjustable options. You can also use light which makes it overly bright; bright which makes it overly bright; detailed which adds too much contrast. After each change you can't undo or go back to the original. So you wind up with one undesirable feature on top of another or you can quit and reload. This is why devs make a "light" or trial version, so you can see if you like the features before investing in the full version. Thank you for the light version, but no thanks. ### 1/5 — Worst game I ever played *2012-02-10, version 2.11* It the worst game I ever played I would give zero stars if I could it's not even worth a penny ### 1/5 — I Just wish it had to save button! *2012-01-21, version 2.11* I really like this app but it would be nice if you could actually save the pictures, so I really don't see what the point is to even have this app. but other than that the results look pretty good just I just wish there was a save button. :( ### 1/5 — Wth!!! *2012-01-14, version 2.11* What's the point if u can't save the pic??? & it takes forever to load..don't waste ur time. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2011-11-26, version 2.11* Worst app ever doesn't make u look pretty in fact makes u look uglier if u don't wnt to waste ur life don't download dis app ur lucky one star is the lowest I'm allowed to give horrible =( ### 4/5 — Luv it *2011-06-15, version 1.7* The only thing I don't likeis u can't save the pic but I think there next upgrade will be to save it so I'm keeping this app it's supposed to look soft and easy whith nice deatail it looks exactly the same bit a nice glow I also use instagram for another effect and a few others for great pictures ### 5/5 — Wow!
