NEVER WORRY ABOUT APPLYING MAKEUP FOR A SKYPE CALL AGAIN - THIS APP WILL DO IT FOR YOU

Designed with women who telework from home in mind, the TeleBeauty app by Japanese skincare company Shiseido scans the face and adjusts the tone of the skin, blurs pores and blemishes, and applies colour to the cheeks and lips. Think less of the Bratz-esque Snapchat filter which gives you the filler-tastic, Kylie Jenner look and more of a realistic, colour-correcting make-up application appropriate for video conferencing the boss. Created in partnership with Microsoft Japan, the app targets the modern working woman who wishes to sacrifice neither time nor beauty in pursuit of a productive working day.

It isn’t difficult to see the potential for such a brilliant idea; think of all the times you’ve ignored an incoming FaceTime call because you just took all your makeup off, or felt a little OTT applying a full face of makeup to sit in front of a laptop screen to video call. With this app, that time and effort is suddenly yours again. No more putting off FaceTiming the boyfriend or that friend you haven’t seen in a while because you CBA to put your face on - TeleBeauty’s got your back.
