Well, FaceApp might just be the answer you were looking for!<\/p>\n<p>FaceApp uses AR technology to take a picture of someone and change the facial features. There are also filters that can add things to your face like make-up.

Apple allows an app to <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/videos\/play\/wwdc2017\/505\/?time=271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">access your photos so that you (the user) can select one for editing purposes.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/07\/17\/faceapp-responds-to-privacy-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FaceApp responded to growing concerns from users<\/a> in a statement to TechCrunch.<\/p>\n<p>In their statement, FaceApp developers said that <strong>the app isn&#8217;t storing photos in a database to sell them to third parties<\/strong>, or is sending them to Russia (the app is from Russia). At times, a single photo that a user is editing is stored in the cloud, but only to improve traffic. These photos are typically all deleted within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it worth the price?<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the optional filters are pretty dumb. For example, one of the premium filters puts a pair of sunglasses on you. That&#8217;s right, you can pay money to see how a pair of generic, fake-looking sunglasses looks on you.<\/p>\n<p>However, seeing what you would look like with a different hair color or what you&#8217;d look like bald is pretty cool. I mean, you can see for yourself with a razor or a box of dye, but this is quicker and doesn&#8217;t come with a major risk factor.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the free version of the app is worth a download. Fool around with it and share your favorite altered photos!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"4 Tricks to fix your bad photos using Photoshop \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/4-tricks-fix-bad-photos-photoshop-nr\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/photo-1024x576.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__text\">\r\n        <p>4 Tricks to fix your bad photos using Photoshop \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"10 best photography programs to make your photos stand out \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/10-best-photography-apps-2018\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__article sc-related-articles-grey__article--last\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/Photoshop-Product-Image.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__text\">\r\n        <p>10 best photography programs to make your photos stand out \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"7 Smartphone camera tips for better photos \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/7-smartphone-camera-tips-for-better-photos\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/neonbrand-350396-unsplash.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__text\">\r\n        <p>7 Smartphone camera tips for better photos \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"5 Tips for taking the best selfies \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/5-tips-for-taking-the-best-selfies\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__article sc-related-articles-grey__article--last\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/selfie-chica-1024x576.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__text\">\r\n        <p>5 Tips for taking the best selfies \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wanted to see yourself bald, but were too chicken to shave your head?
