Microsoft Team's newest filter applies your makeup for you

Most people know the feeling of having an off-morning--e.g., sleeping past your alarm or the coffee just not kicking in. Putting on a full face of makeup is one way to shake yourself out of the doldrums before your video meetings, but it takes time. Or at least, it did before Microsoft's newest video filter for Teams, which lets you skip the real-world primping. Called the Maybelline Beauty app, this set of effects lets users apply digital makeup colors and skin blurring to their faces--an amped up version of Zoom's long-available "Touch up my appearance" video setting, which smooths out skin imperfections. Microsoft's filters rely on AI-powered tech called Modiface (owned by Maybelline's parent company L'Oreal), which creates a virtual map of faces to apply the digital makeup.
