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.
