Put away
the make-up and cancel the gym membership - now you can see how you'd
look with a bit of nip and tuck with little to no effort at all thanks
to an app that lets you photoshop your face in real-time.
Beauty Mirror for iOS, created by New York-based Modiface, lets users enhance their image using an iPhone or iPad as a virtual mirror.
With various features users can alter their facial features to their heart’s content - and then share a video of their new appearance with others.
New York-based Modiface has unveiled an app that
changes your looks. Called Beauty Mirror (shown) it enables to alter
your appearance on the go. The app has a number of filters and settings
that can change your face. It can, for example, show you what you'd look
like if you were thinner or had clearer skin
Through
live 3D face tracking the app gives users the ability to apply
customisable facial, skin and anti-aging effects to every angle of their
face instantly as they look into the camera.
The
company claims its transformations are ‘seamless’ and designed to
produce an improved image only noticeably edited to the user.
‘Beauty
Mirror is designed to give users a very natural looking modified image
through the addition of subtle effects, like skin clearing and slight weight loss,’ said Miriam Pettinen, director of partnerships and mobile strategy at Modiface.
‘We’re
excited to bring an app to the marketplace that will not leave users
looking very obviously edited, but instead just slightly more polished.’
While the app is free to download, unlocking all the features will cost £1.49 ($1.99).

Through
live simulation the app updates face location and pose every 0.03
seconds as up to 14 customisable effects are applied to the face while
the user looks into the camera.
Some of the effects include eye enlargement, facelift, skin clearing, acne reduction and weight loss.
Users
are able to take a picture of themselves at any point or record their
transformation as a video, which is then saved directly to their device
for sharing on social networks.
In
the coming months Beauty Mirror technology will also be integrated as
filters that users will be able to apply while using video chatting
programs.
The technology will also be used by several anti-aging and skin-care brands for in-store product simulation.
A number of settings (left) to retouch your face
are included on the phone including cheek lift, face lift and slimming.
