Put Your Best Face Forward: Digital and Makeup Touchups

We all want to put our best face forward, especially when it comes to portraits and photographs that are going to last for longer than a day’s makeup regime. While analog photography meant the unhappy hair days and unfortunate blemishes were buried in rolls of undeveloped film, the advent of digital photography and social networking means our beauty upsets are documented and archived for all to see, on the Internet. The Internet is useful for so many things – stalking that boy you like, searching for the perfect eyeshadow, looking up new ways to apply self-tanner…but who knew the Internet could be so cruel!

Well turn the digital fairy back in your favor with PicTreat, a website that lets you digitally retouch your photographs with the simple click of the button! Check out some of the before and after results: it’s amazing how PicTreat can give you a natural beauty by slightly warming your skin tone and removing certain blemishes. It’s super auto-correction color tool makes sure you don’t turn your skin a hair too orange with the color correction, and it’s automated face recognition technology and color-alarm system easily detects red eye and hot spots and smooths them out right away. Give it a look!

And if you’re tired of running all of your photos through a digital retouching tool, why not reach for the lighted mirror before and after you apply your makeup for the day (and definitely before you head out the door!) Sometimes the light in our bathrooms or bedrooms, which may be more flattering, are not going to reveal the smudges, lines, and imperfections that the camera will. Having a mirror with a back light insures you get a clear picture of what the camera will be capturing.

What do you think? Try out PicTreat and let me know!
