Facetune: Photo & Video Editor

What Facetune edits and who it suits

Facetune works on the face in a photo or video: retouching skin and features, recoloring hair, adding makeup and adjusting the eyes. The developer pitches it at people who want a picture of themselves to still look like them afterward, rather than a heavily filtered version. Photos come from your camera roll.

Most of the tools make small, specific changes: a shade of hair, a softer patch of skin, a sharper eyebrow. The listing says the hair and makeup tools let you try several looks before you settle on one, which is the main reason to use them as try-ons rather than final edits.

The developer says no editing experience is needed to get started.

Trying hair color, hairstyles and volume

The hair color changer moves a head of hair toward red, blonde or any shade in between. The listing also describes trying out hairstyles on a photo, so you can see a cut or style before you get one.

Two smaller hair tools sit alongside these. A hair filter smooths flyaways, and a separate control adds volume in the places you want it. Both are applied to the photo itself, so the result shows in the image you save.

Retouching skin, teeth and facial features

The skin tone editor and skin color changer even out blotchiness and soften texture. The developer says the aim is a retouch that still looks natural, not one that reads as overdone.

Face editing lets you reshape and adjust features and retouch the face while keeping it recognizably the same face. A single-tap filter whitens teeth and removes facial hair, so those fixes take one step each rather than a manual brush.

Makeup, eyebrows, lashes and eye editing

The makeup editor covers eyebrows, lashes and lips. The listing says you can choose a glam look or a natural one, and that you can test a dozen looks before picking the one you want to keep.

A separate eye tool brightens and defines the eyes and edits the eyelashes. It works alongside the makeup editor, so eye changes and makeup changes can be made on the same photo.

Applying face and skin tools to video

Facetune extends to video. The listing names the face editor, the hair color changer and the skin tone tools as the ones that work on clips, so the same retouching you would do on a still can be applied to footage.

The video tools are the same ones described for photos, not a separate editor. If you already know how a still looks after retouching, the clip version of each tool works the same way.
