00:00So this is a photo that I took right after I finished my makeup. Now, let's see what the app can do
00:07We've all heard of or used apps on social media that can change the shape of our body
00:14It can add makeup to our faces or filters which remove blemishes
00:19Uneven skin tone different things like that
00:21So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do my makeup like I usually do and then I'll use all the filters
00:27To see what it does to my face
00:30I usually start with eyeshadows. I'll use a couple of colors and then use eyeliner over top
00:35I'll also fill in my inner waterline with some white to make my eyes pop followed with some blush and lipstick
00:41So this is a photo that I took right after I finished my makeup. Now, let's see what the app can do
00:45I use the app to give myself a sharper jawline and also brought my hairline down to make my forehead smaller
00:52I made my cheekbones higher and also my cheeks slimmer
00:56I made myself look more doe-eyed by making my eyes bigger and wider and also brought them closer together
01:02Added a bit of an angle to them to mirror my eyeliner wing
01:05I have a rather wide nose, but this app could easily take care of that
01:10I made the bridge narrower and my nostrils smaller and right at the end
01:15Added a bit of a lift to make it look like I have a slightly upturned nose. My eyebrows were messy
01:21So I cleaned them up a little, made them thinner, higher and also accentuated the arc to give myself a facelift
01:27I don't have naturally full lips, but that was an easy fix
01:31I gave my lips some height, made them longer and more proportional to what my face now looked like
01:37I even got rid of my under-eye bags
01:39I removed the blemishes from my forehead and smoothened out the blackheads on my nose
01:44The app had a handy pickup tool so I could correct the pigmentation around my mouth and even that on my neck and chest
01:52I added on the same makeup that I did before except digitally so that it pops more
01:57I made my eyes a different color, made my cornea whiter and even lightened my skin tone and added some contour
02:04And by the end of it, I looked like someone I had never met before
02:09Everyone has pores, uneven skin tone, people have pigmentation
02:14They have blackheads, whiteheads, stretch marks and every body looks different
02:19But if you see the same kind of body shown to you over and over again every time you're on social media
02:25You would tend to think that that is the ideal body type
02:28This app could also change the way my body looked
02:31I gave myself longer legs and made my waist look slimmer
02:35I could pick out the exact width of my hips and make them bigger or smaller
02:41And I made my thighs thicker and my butt more rounded
02:44I could remove the excess fat around my armpit to make my arms thinner and sculpted my legs to look more toned
02:51I even made my breasts look bigger and rounder
02:54I look nothing like myself
