The MakeApp app is a new way to see what your face would look like with makeup on or off. It uses neural network technology to alter photos, creating "filters" that darken your eyes, redden your lips and put powder on your cheeks. Likewise, you can also strip all the makeup from a photo, a feature which may be useful for dating sites where everyone claims to be comfortable in their own skin yet few share filter-less and makeup-free photos.
The other awesome feature of the MakeApp app is the ability to see what celebs look like without makeup. The app may not be 100% accurate in that field but it looks like it works pretty good. The MakeApp app is available now as a free download for iOS and Android.
