Yep, you can get a perfect selfie every single time. Intrigued? We've partnered with BeautyPlus to show you the beauty camera you've been missing out on.
If you've ever been curious about beauty-enhancing apps, you're not alone. The selfie-taking tool has taken the social media world by storm with its ability to pop out flawless photos complete with airbrushed complexions and expertly applied makeup every single time. Surprisingly, not a whole lot of us here at the POPSUGAR office have tried these apps out for ourselves.
So when we had the opportunity to play around with the BeautyPlus app, we decided to round up two editors who wouldn't normally use the beauty camera to give their honest feedback. The results were two completely different reasons they each ended up loving the app, and, of course, two stunning selfies to prove it. Keep reading to see why spending just 15 minutes on the app was enough to turn both one selfie-loving editor and one selfie-loathing editor into converts.
1. The app cuts down on the time it takes to get the perfect shot
First up, we have Samantha Netkin, our Smart Living assistant editor and self-described selfie-taker:
"I take a lot of selfies, and it always takes me more than a few tries to get one I'm happy with. With this app, I literally snapped one photo and it did the rest for me: my complexion was a bit more even and definitely brighter. Plus, I love how it takes the real image of myself, as opposed to the mirror image that my camera takes."

2. It takes care of makeup so you don't have to
Next, we asked Elizabeth Biersch, our editorial intern and reluctant selfie-taker, to share her experience:
"I'm not usually one to take selfies, but when I do, my under-eyes are always the one thing I wish I could correct. I have relentless dark circles that never seem to fully fade since I juggle a job, classes, and a social life. The app let me buffer and brighten my tired eyes, and I even added a contour to my face, because who really has time for that in the morning? If it's between making my morning train and shading my cheekbones, you can catch me sprinting to the station. These subtle edits really helped me feel more confident in my photo."

Based on these before and after photos, it's safe to say we may have found the secret to achieving the perfect Instagram shot. All it takes is one click for a major confidence boost.
