Erik is surprised, again. This time, the reasonis China’s “beauty”apps.

These apps have been around for years. But it is also surging in popularity as Chinese people brighten up their skin, enlarge their eyes and perform extreme makeovers on themselves.

Erik’s first try startled him, when he sawgalaxies swirling around his face, and ghostly, glittering whales floating around his hair amid a sea of sparkles.

He started to realize that China’s super-popular selfie apps are literally recreating the world.

His Chinese friends told him that some “beauty apps” alter reality to make it picture perfect for social media.Some automatically apply cosmetics. Users can try on virtual lipstick from the likes of Dior and Giorgio Armani, who have stores in these apps. The idea is you do not have to visit a store to try the product on. Looks great, doesn’t it?

Moreover, he was told that the biggest beauty app in China is Meitu. There are even so called “beauty smartphones”. They cost up to 8,000 yuan but their sole function is as a camera that automatically morphs your personal appearance.

This inspired Erik to download the app, and according to him, he justtakes its functions to the extreme to see how far theygo. He has found out the names of the selfie filters included “cheese,”“jungle” and “ethereal”.Their filters for other photogenic subjects are more generic, for now — a “food,”“scenery”and “objects” can all make photos more interesting.

Although Erik, anAmerican in his thirties, living in Beijing, may not use the app as frequently as Chinese young ladies, he admits it is a fun way to make himself shine on social media, and his daughter really loves it!

How frequently do you use these beauty apps? Do you only use their basic functions?Or do you create extreme makeovers on your face?
