New app MakeApp shows celebrities without their makeup

We’re used to seeing celebrities preened to perfection, with glamorous gowns, voluminous blow-outs and, of course, immaculate makeup.

But a new app claims to reveal what the stars might look like without their glam squad in tow. 

The app, called MakeApp, digitally ‘removes’ all trace of cosmetics from photographs, and it’s been road-tested on some of the most flawless faces on the red carpet.   

Celebrities given a digital make-under include the Duchess of Cambridge, Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and even the Prime Minister Theresa May.  

Users can let MakeApp wipe away their own carefully applied ‘face’ on photos – or for a more enjoyable experience, use it to add cosmetics instead.  

It works with both videos and pictures, and allows users to lighten the skin, minimise redness, or tone down harsh lipstick.

Scroll down for a glimpse at what the app suggests the stars might look like without the slap…
