I feel like it made me look like mrbean with darker skin and a 5 o'clock shower everywhere on my face.
I'm worried that's how I would look like once i'm 30 or 40.
It kinda resembles my dad a bit except for the eyes.

In my case - too accurate.

In a feminine persona, I look like my mother.

Let's just say that's a non starter and FFS is going to be required very early in my transition.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I wish I could look like my faceapp girl but I know it's just an app

Yeah, the same thing kind of happens to me.  And the few full makeovers I've had had the same result  And I absolutely hated it!!!

I have wondered the same thing. I've never liked how I look. I've never hated it, but I've never been happy looking in the mirror... until I tried that app! (well, and obviously because I was finally looking like the correct gender) I was like daaaammmmmn.... but I'm thinking yeah I'll never look like I do from there. However, at the same time, they really didn't change to many features, FFS I'm wondering might be able to make it close? idk... Also I tried it a handful of times from different angles and different lighting and each time was noticeably different, at least for me, which leads me to think that I shouldn't expect the outcome that I most liked

I've played with the face app a bunch.  It's a real mixed bag, and I am afraid it sets me up for disappointment.  That being said, the face app did give me a real booster, having a picture of myself in femme appearance.  It made it seem more real in those early days.  Now I think it looks more unreal but cest la vis.
Side note: one of my face app pics was the spitting image of my sister as a teenager.  It was eerie.  But I guess that's bound to happen when you take dozens of them a day.

That's why I said it was too accurate.  I saw both my mother and/or cis sister.

That freaks me out.

It's a very convincing photo Tony, I was sure that you were already on T

I had heard about FaceApp before but have used another one called YouCam. My avatar picture and was ran a product of YouCam.

I took another similar picture and used FaceApp on it today. I can't believe how good it made me look.

First pic is old avatar, second is new with FaceApp.


       

Too bad I can't look that good for real. 

I think it works better M to F rather than F to M.

Face app is strange as changes you but doesnt I found it didnt really change  my face it made skin slightly more translucent  and hair slightly longer

I don't think you need to worry about the faceapp if your avatar is you.

Regarding how well the app works I don't have much in the way of before shots to test it on but it has facial recognition. So I took one of my after photos and ran it through the F to M way and it disturbingly looked like me before transitioning.

pic taken  June 7 2017 on hrt for 5 months at that time



Today at 23 month

It turned my rude head into a striking beauty.( & added a bit of anonymity).

By the way Kylo I must ask what is the new portrait based on.?
