Google Meet launches an AI-powered makeup feature

SMRTR summary

Your coffee mug will no longer accidentally steal your lipstick during video calls. Google Meet has launched AI-powered makeup filters that stick to faces no matter how users move around their screens.

The feature offers 12 different makeup options, nestled within Google Meet's existing "Portrait touch-up" tools that have smoothed complexions and brightened eyes since 2023. Unlike earlier virtual beauty filters that could glitch onto coffee cups or slide around faces, Google's technology promises to stay put through sips, head tilts, and gestures.

The makeup filters remain disabled by default, allowing users to activate them before or during calls. Once applied, the app remembers preferences for future meetings.

Google's move helps it catch up with Microsoft Teams and Zoom, which already offer similar virtual makeup capabilities. The feature rolled out October 8th across mobile and web platforms, targeting users who want to look polished without the morning routine of actual cosmetics application.
