Just take a snap of yourself, load it up in the app and watch in awe as your tired mug is transformed into a face fit for a movie star with just a few edits (or a lot: don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t ask).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Why is it surprisingly easy?<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s nearly as powerful as desktop photo-editing software but costs a fraction of the price and doesn\u2019t take a course to master. Instead, you get simple instructions to help you edit your photos using your fingertips. Depending on how much work you put in, you could be done in a couple of minutes (again, we won\u2019t judge if it takes a little longer&#8230;).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The best bit<\/h4>\n<p>Facetune has a huge amount of editing options despite its price. You can adjust your smile, your eyes, your skin, your hair, your facial structure, your make-up and pretty much everything else on your face, as well as enhancing your photo with filters and special effects.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s so much to play with here that you could theoretically spend hours editing a single photo, although that would be a bit narcissistic.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The downside<\/h4>\n<p>You can end up editing your photo a <em>tad<\/em> too much and end up looking like an alien from another dimension.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/facetune\/id606310581?mt=8\">Download Facetune on iOS (\u00a32.49)<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.lightricks.facetune\">Download Facetune on Android (99p \u201d\u201c limited time offer)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have you used an app that\u2019s made your life surprisingly easy recently?
