"Whether it’s a subtle look for work or a celebrity style for a theme party, YouCam Makeup helps you find the perfect makeover look for every occasion."

The application features a unique technology that accurately detects facial features and creates the most realistic cosmetic overlays on selfies and portrait photos.

The users can fix facial imperfections by removing shine, blemishes and evening out skin tone, enhance the nose, highlight facial contours, and apply blush for a pop of colour.

With custom eye shadow palettes, lengthening mascara and distinct eye liner styles, the users can enlarge eyes and eliminate puffy bags or dark circles.

The app also features high-glam glossy or modern matte lipstick shades, dazzling white teeth, as well as14 real-time skin beautification effects to enhance facial features.

YouCam Makeup, along with another CyberLink app, YouCam Perfect, offers a simple flawless integrated flow from capturing a selfie, applying auto-beautification, creating makeup effects, followed by social sharing in a few simple steps.
