Gillette has created a new application for the iPhone called uArt. This creative app allows people to upload a picture of themselves and apply different types of facial hair. You then use the Gillette Fusion razor--or your finger in this case--to shave a masterpiece into your face.
This app comes complete with vibration to mimic the Gillette razor, and is perfect if you want to make sure a moustache suits you!
Implications - Not only is this application useful for comedic purposes, it also serves the practical purpose of saving friends from being put in the awkward position of having to advise a friend to shave a mistake off their face.
