A new app with makeup-removing capabilities called MakeApp is setting off a lot of feminists. The app, developed by Ashot Gabrelyanov, “removes” the makeup from women (or any user) in photos, producing a makeup-free image.
As noted by The Huffington Post, the unflattering application “uses an algorithm to figure out what a person in an uploaded photo or video might look like without” makeup, adding wrinkles and blemishes at times. One writer at The Verge used the app on her makeup-free face numerous times, eventually ending up with a photo she described as zombie-like.
