Facetune review
Facetune is a portrait-focused editor from Lightricks for people who want to tweak selfies, headshots and short clips before posting. It covers the usual retouching jobs, such as smoothing skin, whitening teeth and reshaping features, and adds AI tools for trying on hairstyles, beards, hair colour and virtual makeup. It also handles background and object removal, lighting adjustments, filters, one-tap enhancement and AI-generated professional headshots. Many of the same tools work on video, so you can retouch faces across a whole reel rather than frame by frame.
Day to day it is quick to pick up: open a photo, choose a tool and drag a slider or brush over the area you want to change. One-tap options suit people in a hurry, while manual controls let you dial effects back so results look less obviously edited. Expect to run into prompts for the paid VIP tier fairly often, since many of the more interesting tools sit behind it.
Why we picked it: It is one of the most widely used face and portrait editors on both iPhone and Android, with a broad, well-maintained toolset.
Watch out for: Heavy reshaping and smoothing can look unnatural, and much of the toolkit requires a subscription.
What we like
- Wide range of face retouching tools in one place
- AI try-ons for hairstyles, beards, hair colour and makeup
- Edits can be applied across whole videos, not just photos
- Manual controls let you keep edits subtle
- Available on both iOS and Android in many languages
What could be better
- Many tools are locked behind a paid subscription
- Frequent upgrade prompts in the free version
- Aggressive edits can produce an obviously altered look
- Focused on faces and portraits rather than general photo editing
