PART-2  5 MOST HELPFUL APPS FOR FACE MAKEUP

Now, it’s time for us to introduce you to a different set of face makeup editing tools
If you’re the type to prefer selfies, then these mobile apps might be of interest to you! We’ve compiled a top 5 list that you can refer to so that you can choose the app that works best for you.

1- FACETUNE

The first face makeup editing app that we’re going to introduce has to be the biggest one out there — the Facetune App.

 I’m sure you’ve heard of it before. It’s an app that was made specifically for editing your face, in a way that’s surprisingly natural (most of the time) and attractive.
  • The Facetune app is available in both the FREE version and the paid version. 
  • The free version will have the usual ads and popups
  • The paid version requires a $5.99 one-time payment.





2- MAKEUP PLUS

Our next mobile app, is called Makeup Plus.
 Much like the Facetune app, it will allow you edit your face in a way that is attractive and natural.

  •  It’s a FREE app, however, you’re going to have to sit through quite a bit of ads and popups whilst you make your edits.



3- MAKEUP

The Makeup App is a little different from the previous two. For one, it doesn’t allow for natural looks.

 It’s a good app if you want to look like a porcelain doll (complete with the pale skin and the bright lips,) but it’s not something that will work for everyone. The Makeup App is FREE, but as always — it comes with ads and popups.

4- PHOTO WONDER

Again, we’re going to move away from the concept that we had introduced previously. Photo Wonder is a different kind of face makeup editor.

  • It relies on fancy overlays and filters that are beauty oriented.
  • It does offer a couple of actual makeup tools as well, but not as much as the others.


5- PERFECT 365

The Perfect365 is new, but it’s rising pretty quickly! 

  • It offers a more natural makeup look than most apps, and even has its own website!




THANK U SO MUCH TO ALL!

MAKEUP EDITING

Are you looking for something that will help you get your glam on without doing any of the actual work? 
Then you needn’t look very far! There are tons of face makeup editors out in the market that are more than able to help pretty-you-up! 
This article will be introducing you to the most noteworthy of these face makeup editors — complete with the pros and cons of each one! This way, you’ll be able to find the face makeup editor that’s right for you.


TOP APPS & EDITORS FOR MAKEUP EDITING

PART 1-  5 MOST HELPFUL FACE MAKEUP EDITORS

The first type of face makeup editors that we’re going to introduce are PC editors
  • These can be downloaded directly to your laptop or desktop computer, and are perfect for getting things edited in a timely manner. 
  • PC programs are particularly helpful when working with batches of images that are horizontal in shape (i.e. any image not taken on your mobile phone.

1-Wondershare Fotophire Focus

It’s a program that is 100% intuitive, in that, it offers an easy to master drag and drop interface.
 With Fotophire, you can be very precise and/or very quick. - - This is through Presets (which allow for quick edits) and precision-based tools (which allow for on the nose editing.)

  • It enables you to fix blurry photos with a single click.
  • Help you to re-focus photos with the Creative Blur feature at your will.
  • allows you to apply more than 200 effects to your photos easily.
  • offers you a 1-click sharpen tool to help you make your photos better.



PROS

  • Drag & Drop Interface that makes the program easy-to-use
  • A variety of different editing capabilities — Presets, Filters, Brushes, Frames, etc.
  • Precision editing tools that will allow you to get the exact look that you want.

CONS

  • Offers a FREE demo — However, long term use would require a one-time payment.
  • Images are watermarked during the FREE trial



2- MOVAVI PHOTO EDITOR

This is a fairly large corporation — even if it’s still relatively unknown, that offers a variety of editing tools.
 It just so happens that they offer a Photo Editing tool as well. Their products are pretty highly acclaimed, and the Photo Editor offers a couple of presets that are made for face makeup editing.

PROS

  • Offers preset face makeup editing overlays
  • Is not just a face makeup editor — has other editing tools available as well
  • Precision editing is made possible with drag and drop

CONS

  • One-time payment is required to be able to use the software
  • FREE demo will not allow you to save images
  • The program is a lot more complex than it needed to be



3- PHOTOSHOP

You might be wondering as to why Adobe Photoshop is so low on our list, and the answer is simple — it’s not really made to work as a face makeup editor. It can be used as one. 
However, that would require a lot of time spent on learning the tricks-of-the-trade and some background in illustration. If you’re a professional illustrator AND have access to a graphics tablet, then Photoshop is your answer, if not— then you’re better off using more intuitive programs like Fotophire.


PROS

  • Precision-based editing allows for detailed face makeup effects
  • Offers a variety of tools that will allow you to get the exact look that you want

  • Is a face makeup editor — made for that purpose
  • Professional look
  • Offers a limited FREE trial

CONS

  • In order to be able to use the software properly — payment is required
  • Is limited when it comes to actual editing capabilities

    3D EDITING OR 3D MODELING

    In 3D computer graphics3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any surface of an object (either inanimate or living) in three dimensions via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model.



    •  Someone who works with 3D models may be referred to as a 3D artist.
    •  It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena.

    •  The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.



    Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.



    3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers.



    MODELS

    Three-dimensional (3D) models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as 
    • triangles
    • lines
    • curved surfaces



    3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics and CADTheir use predates the widespread use of 3D graphics on personal computers.
     Many computer games used pre-rendered images of 3D models as sprites before computers could render them in real-time. The designer can then see the model in various directions and views, this can help the designer see if the object is created as intended to compared to their original vision. Seeing the design this way can help the designer/company figure out changes or improvements needed to the product.



    • Today, 3D models are used in a wide variety of fields. The medical industry uses detailed models of organs; these may be created with multiple 2-D image slices from an MRI or CT scan.




    • The movie industry uses them as characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures.




    The video game industry uses them as assets for computer and video games


     The architecture industry uses them to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes in lieu of traditional, physical architectural models.


    • The engineering community uses them as designs of new devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses. 
    • In recent decades the earth science community has started to construct 3D geological models as a standard practice. 3D models can also be the basis for physical devices that are built with 3D printers or CNC machines.




    USES

    3D modeling is used in various industries like
