Classic app developer: Creates a problem for a solution.
My wife almost never wears makeup. Basically only for things like job interviews.
And I don’t like how she looks in makeup, so I’m fine with that.
Same, I’m really grateful she has no interest/desire to wear makeup. It was also nice to know what her face looked like from day 1, which is what this app is meant to facilitate.
The more I think about it, the stranger the notion of ‘gatekeeping her real face’ behind a full-on relationship sounds to me, lol.
P.S. lol, I just remembered reading an old ‘hack’ for this years and years ago: make a water park your first outing together.
the eye color change is suggesting women wear eyeball makeup?
Also: I’d love to run Donald Trump through this
the app isn’t for men in relationships…
I only wear a tiny bit of eyeliner, so checkmate men, what you get is what you see.

And most men thank you for that and wish all women were like that.
I don’t care what men think. I’m 50 and I’m all done with what men think.
Real & based
Given how prevalent make up is, especially with how many stories i heard of women struggling in the office when they did not put on makeup that specific day, how the behavior of random strangers changed etc. that is not true. There are some men, but definitely no the majority.
If you always wear makeup and one day you don’t people will notice a change for sure
My wife’s opinion is that most of the pressure comes from other women and old men.
women struggling in the office when they did not put on makeup that specific day, how the behavior of random strangers changed etc.
It’s simply the difference that’s being noticed, and no one’s really at fault for that, on either side. Any woman who never wears makeup is also never going to get the same ‘are you sick?’ kind of reactions on any given day she doesn’t wear makeup to work.
They have shown easy mode, now try it on Dame Edna or Mimi Bobeck.
No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?
The skin looks less “flat”/“clean” the face is more pale, the dark rings under the eyes are more noticeable, the lips are less red and the eyebrows are weaker.
However this is going to be extremely flawed, as it has to make assumptions about which parts of the face are made up and which aren’t, probably exaggerating what it has to “correct” for. Also i wouldn’t be surprised if this will struggle immensely with non white faces.

The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges and there is more shadow around the eyes.
it’s like they just selected lips and cheeks and slid the “Reds” slider down
“sometimes”…
#nofliter
FYI:
#textRenders as
#text
To get
#text
You have to type
\#textHow does it render for you? Because in my app, both look the same. Only with a space after #, it is huge and bold:
text
Interesting, I just did some more experimentation, and it seems to vary by app. In Eternity, Sync, and Summit, both ‘
#text’ and ‘# text’ are rendered as a header. In Thunder, Boost, Voyager, and Connect, only ‘# text’ is rendered as a header.
There was an attempt
Is it true that you can talk to women? I’ve never tried it before and I’m 32. I use Arch GNU+Linux btw. Also I’ve never been outside.
Yes, but I don’t recommend it
I disagree. I do recommend using Arch.
They call that Lordosis and I’ve only ever seen it happen when I showed one of the females my dual sli GTX 1080ti setup while benchmarking in Heaven. Getting her off my desk with her ass in the air is a pain but she apparently likes my hand going down her back and her ass patted. Getting her off my keyboard when I’m in the middle of a game can be a real pain sometimes…
Talking to women is no longer considered a best practice.
Recommend upgrading to listening to women.
It’s possible, but the feature isn’t supported on your OS.
You can probably compile her yourself if you can’t find her in the AUR.
Absolutely! In fact if you’re on Arch you may have a built in conversation starter by discussing your collection of thigh-highs and seeing where that takes you.
Yeah, it is real easy as well
Just walk up to them and press “X”
I use Arch GNU+Linux btw.
So does FitGirl, tho. And I guarantee she gets laid like crazy.

If I’m remembering right, wasn’t this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?
Yep. Found it.
Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case
Edit: oh no
It’s been used by people for nefarious purposes, regardless of its original intent. Both perspectives are valid.
edit: sexist horseshit is not a valid perspective.
What sexist horseshit are you talking about?
Of course the creator is going to tout the most morally upstanding use of his app. If it genuinely helps human trafficking victims, then that’s another story, but from this quote it just seems like he has some vague hope about it.
A tech startup with vague likely unrealistic hopes? What are the chances?
Yeah that sounds so much like post-hoc justification that I’m seriously surprised that it’s being swallowed by anyone.
I mean, great if it DOES help with such a terrible problem, it’s just I have seen this thing being talked about before and it’s NEVER been discussed in terms of helping trafficking victims. This is the first I’ve heard of it. Almost every time you see this kind of narrative being discussed it’s either 99% of the time a bunch of sweaty incels online whinging about how women aren’t really pretty and just want to trap guys or some other dom/sub kink fantasy nonsense to validate their depression and self-loathing, OR about 1% of the time it’s an actual empowering discussion talking about unfair hollywood beauty standards.
I mean ageing technology (what the person might look like after 5 years etc) was also created for human trafficking victims, and I haven’t seen it really being talked about in many years now since it came out. Seems weird to base something on whether or not you’ve heard of it.
If the family doesn’t have a recent picture of the person without makeup, then yeah, this would be useful, since people can look pretty different without makeup. I’m the only one who has recent pictures of my wife without makeup for example, her friends and parents only have pictures of her with makeup since she normally does some when meeting them. She’s also half Chinese, so depending on how she decides to do her make up, can look way more asian or barely asian at all. If I didn’t have those pictures and something happened, the make-up pictures wouldn’t be as useful in searching for her.
I think this is more about whether or not the creator was honest when they claim that’s why they created the app and it looks like many people here, myself included, are dubious about that being his intention and not just a justification.
wasn’t this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?
The author of the article you linked doesn’t seem to believe that.
The creator stated their intent, and the author disagreed. Does that opinion make the creator’s statement untrue?
It’s a weird situation & definitely a slippery slope. Was it his intent? I honestly can’t say. I guess it’s certainly a possibility.
I don’t think this kind of app is harmful in itself. This kind of thing can & will obviously be used/weapon used by stupid shit-heads for their own agenda, but those kind of people will utilize literally anything that exists to justify their shit-head views.
The author of the article is right not to believe this claim. The author can say that their software was intended for whatever noble uses they want. We know from experience that software has mainstream off-label use.
Is BitTorrent really a tool for downloading community content like open films and Linux distros? Because that’s what the creators say it’s for. It’s not untrue.
Is Jellyfin or Plex a tool for organizing your ripped collection of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays? That’s what the developers say. It’s not untrue
Is Tor a tool for protecting dissidents? That’s what they say it is. It really is that. But is that all it is?
This tool might be useful for identifying sex trafficking victims, just as a nudifying app might be useful for identifying victims of involuntary pornography.
But on the other side of this is that nudifying apps are more likely to be used to create involuntary pornography, and makeup-removal apps are more likely to be used to harass women.
No reason to ban AI technology or anything, but no reason to pretend that tools like this aren’t used for off-label and sometimes nefarious purposes.

It’s wild that hundreds of years ago, high society women would wake up to put on makeup. They’d literally never be seen without it. Waking up at crack ass morning, wear makeup, then make breakfast.
My wife and I went for a walk and she didn’t even wear a bra.
Life is great.
i like the idea that high society women would make breakfast, maybe they’d play at it but the actual breakfast would be made by lower class servants.
I’m not sure why this comment is so popular. If you travel, you see many countries on the planet where all women wear makeup all the time.
There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.
(Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)
And depending on the era, certainly in England, many high society people didn’t get out of bed until 11am or midday.
I love when your wife doesn’t wear a bra. It does make life great.
We all love this guy’s wife
hun, step outside, I need to see if I need to bring a jacket…
Why have so many people down voted this? Do they not get it, or do they just hate nipples?
Having probably not seen a naked woman, I guess they don’t get it
“Whoa. They get… naked? What, you mean like in front of you?”
only if you barge in on them changing, like any good married man does
This doesn’t look like a woman without makeup, it looks like a woman with makeup with a filter over her face.
Yep, looks like it was fooled by the fake contour on her right cheek.
I know jack shit about photo editing, but did this person just de-saturate the colors? The eyes and hair look like they are less vivid. Even the background looks different., less dark and more blue?
The real challenge is to use the app on somebody not wearing makeup.
Do it twice and every woman looks like Gollum.
That’s how you know it’s accurate. Same thing happens if you use makeup remover twice on bare skin.
Using the “makeup remover” app on your date one too many times and then…
You may not like it, but this is what peak Hugo Weaving looks like
I was there, Mr Anderson, 3000 years ago…
His delivery was everything. The way he carries on as if nothing can really bother him much was what sold the franchise for me
The ideal form
Looks like it’s doing more than that since it seems to remove the mascara and added fullness of the lips from the lipstick
running a picture of myself through the app fifty times instead of getting an MRI
I wonder if eventually it’ll rip your skin off, revealing the bones you are hiding under all that fake skin
