What does the Mascara effect change?

Mascara identifies the relevant facial feature and applies a controllable cosmetic or corrective treatment aligned to its existing shape, light, and texture. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Mascara?

Choose Mascara for beauty and fashion portraits, direct-flash portraits, or multi-person photographs that need consistent refinement when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains obscured faces, extreme side angles, tiny group-photo faces, or sources where hair and background boundaries cannot be separated reliably.

About the Mascara effect

Mascara isolates the relevant portrait feature and applies a graduated local correction while protecting adjacent texture and geometry. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.
