You know the person in the mirror. Now see yourself from the other side. Flect is a mirror first, not a beauty camera. Open the app to see a non-mirrored front-camera view—closer in left-to-right direction to what someone facing you sees. If movement feels unfamiliar, press and hold to use the familiar mirrored view while a movable picture-in-picture window keeps the other perspective visible. Turn on face guides to compare the placement of your brows, makeup, hair and facial outline. The guides are visual references only: there is no score, diagnosis, face analysis or beauty judgment. Your live camera view stays on your device. Flect has no account, ads, analytics or cloud upload. A photo is saved only when you press the shutter. A non-mirrored camera changes left-to-right direction only. Distance, lens perspective, lighting, expression and the way another person pays attention all affect how you are perceived.
