Perfect365 (Free)
The face detection feature of this phone makes it easy for you to remove dark circles under your eyes, remove unsightly blemishes from your skin, and even customize your face (think higher cheekbones, higher nose, firmer faces).
There are also pre-set makeup templates to give you an instant makeover or you can save your customizations to apply to your future selfies. The app has quickshare options to Facebook, Flickr and Twitter.
Visage Lab (Free)
This app retouches your picture automatically by applying skin and eye makeup, shine removal, smoothing wrinkles, enhancing colors and even whiten teeth, all at once.
This however means that you have no control of how much change you want applied. The share options are great for this app though: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, email and direct download.
Beauty Camera (Free)
This app will not only help you brighten up your poorly lit pictures but it will also change the picture’s tone and detail. You can also take a picture or select a picture on your device and smoothen out skin or remove any spots. Share your images on Facebook, Twitter and via email.
PicBeauty (Free)
PicBeauty is a simple app that clears up blemishes and wrinkles, and whiten your teeth before you share it to your Facebook or via iMessage on iOS.
Pixtr ($2.99)
Pixtr does all the hard work for you by automatically detecting what needs to be corrected in your picture. It will eliminate skin blemishes and red eye to ensure a flawless, natural look, and it works even in group photos.
Pixtr has the added option to let you automatically set an improved photo as your Facebook profile picture straight from the app. Alternatively you can share photos on Facebook, Twitter or via email. Pixtr will be coming to Android soon.
Facetune ($3.99)
Have very bad acne days? Facetune is going to be your next best friend. Dubbed the cheaper alternative to Photoshop, you can remove a stray hair, or a gray one, give yourself acne- and wrinkle-free skin, remove red eye and even change your eye color and more, with this handy app.
The response for iOS is great but there is no word by the team to create one for Android yet (eventhough there is a clear demand). The app also has great share options, leading to Facebook, instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr as well as email.
