Live, On-Device

Virtual Makeup & Skin Retouching Preview

Preview skin smoothing, warmth balance, and a simulated fill light before a call — masked to a real face-tracked skin region so your eyes, eyebrows, and lips stay sharp instead of smearing. Everything runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.

Notes

How the masking works

Face tracking defines a bounding region each frame; smoothing and warmth blend toward a softened version of the same frame within an elliptical mask tighter than the full face, so eyes, brows, and lips stay untouched. Fill light adds a soft radial brightness boost centered on the face, fading with distance — simulating a second light source rather than flattening the whole frame.

What this is not

This is a live preview only — a display transform in your browser, not a filter baked into your outgoing feed. It cannot inject a processed stream into Zoom, Teams, OBS, or any other application; browsers deliberately prevent that. Use it to find values that look right, then reproduce them where they can actually take effect, such as your camera app's own beauty filter or a virtual-camera tool that supports custom adjustment.

Step-by-Step

How to Use the Preview

  1. Click "Start Camera" and allow access when prompted.
  2. Adjust Smoothing gradually — small amounts read as natural, heavy amounts look artificial.
  3. Adjust Warmth and Fill Light to taste.
  4. Note the values that look right, then reproduce them in your camera app or conferencing software if you want the effect on a real call.

Common Issues

Troubleshooting

Camera access blockedClick the camera icon in your browser's address bar to confirm this site is allowed, or check your OS's camera privacy settings.
Smoothing looks smeary or artificialReduce the value — heavy smoothing is the most common way this kind of effect looks obviously fake. Small amounts read as natural skin.
Effect not applying to eyes/lipsThis is intentional, not a bug — the mask is deliberately tighter than the full face so eyes, eyebrows, and lips stay sharp.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this send my video anywhere?
No. Face tracking and all image processing run entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Why does smoothing avoid my eyes and lips?
The effect is masked to an elliptical skin region derived from face tracking, deliberately tighter than the full face so eyes, eyebrows, and lips stay sharp rather than smearing — smoothing everything looks obviously artificial.
Can I apply this to my actual Zoom or Teams calls?
Not directly from this page — browsers deliberately prevent a web page from injecting a processed video stream into another application. Use this to find values that look right, then set them in your camera app's own beauty filter or a virtual-camera tool that supports custom adjustment.
Why does it say "no face detected"?
Make sure your face is clearly in frame and reasonably lit — the model needs a basic view of your face to locate it before it can apply the skin mask.
Is this the same as a beauty filter in TikTok or Instagram?
Conceptually similar — face-tracked skin smoothing and light adjustment — but those apps often add additional effects like eye enlargement or face reshaping that this tool deliberately does not include, staying with honest, natural-looking adjustments only.
