Beauty Camera -Selfie, Sticker

Review by eFreeware

Beauty Camera is a free selfie camera and photo editor for Android from the developer Leopard V7, and it has been on Google Play since February 2020. The pitch is simple enough: take or import a photo, apply beauty filters and makeup looks in real time, then polish the result with a fairly wide set of editing tools before sharing it. More than 50 million installs and a 4.8 average across over 151,000 ratings suggest the approach has found a large audience.

What makes it worth a look is the combination. Plenty of apps do one thing well, whether that is smoothing skin or building a collage, but this one gathers the whole routine into a single place: camera filters while you shoot, one-tap touch-up afterward, makeup presets, a background changer, and preset collage layouts. You do not have to move a photo between three different apps to get from a raw selfie to something you are happy posting.

The app is free and supported by ads, and it does not offer in-app purchases. That matters for anyone who has grown tired of editors that nudge them toward a subscription, though ads are part of the deal here and worth weighing if you edit in long sessions. The content rating is Everyone, which fits the general-purpose nature of the toolset.

Retouching a selfie without learning an editing suite

The core of the app is the beauty camera itself. Filters are applied in real time as you frame the shot, so what you see on screen is close to what you get, and the developer describes the effect as natural rather than heavily processed. For someone who takes a lot of selfies and wants them to look consistent, shooting with the filter already on saves the step of guessing at adjustments later.

After the shot, the touch-up tools cover the usual ground. There is a one-tap beautify option for people who want the app to make the call, and manual controls for those who would rather do it themselves: drag to smooth skin and soften pores, drag to reshape the eyes, nose and lips, enlarge and brighten the eyes, reduce dark circles, and whiten teeth. The teeth whitening in particular is the sort of small fix that lifts a smile without the photo looking edited.

What appeals to me about this half of the app is that it does not assume you know what you are doing. The one-tap path exists alongside the manual one, so a beginner can get a decent result immediately and pick up the finer controls later. The trade-off is the familiar one with beauty filters: the smoothing and reshaping tools are strong, and it takes a light hand to keep a face looking like the person in the mirror.

Makeup presets and stickers for quick looks

The makeup side is built around preset looks. The app detects your face and shows the makeup effect in real time, which means you can flip through styles and see each one on your own features rather than on a model. The developer positions this for people who are not confident with eye, face or lip cosmetics, and that framing makes sense: it is a try-on tool as much as an editing tool.

Alongside the makeup, there are face stickers and AR stickers that can be layered onto a shot or used live. New templates and a set of summer stickers have been added, so this is an area that keeps growing. Stickers are the part of a camera app that dates fastest, and regular drops of new ones are what keep that side of things from going stale.

I would expect this combination to be the main draw for a younger audience, or for anyone who treats a selfie as a small creative project rather than a record of a moment. The presets lower the skill floor considerably. If you prefer your photos untouched, the app's whole orientation is toward enhancement, and that is simply what it is built to do.

Collages, frames and the photo editor

The editing tools go beyond the face. There is a blur editor with a brush for controlling exactly where the effect lands, which is useful for pushing a busy background out of focus while keeping the subject sharp. Cropping is handled by tapping to resize and trim, and the background changer offers shapes such as teardrop and corrugated for a more stylized cutout.

Standard adjustments are present as well: brightness, contrast, vignette, fade, temperature, saturation and sharpen. None of this is exotic, but having them in the same app as the beauty tools means you can correct a shot that came out too warm or too flat without exporting it anywhere. Art filters are available too, for when a straightforward correction is not the goal.

The collage maker takes several pictures and remixes them into a grid using preset templates and layouts, and the developer notes that these are aimed at Instagram users. From there you can edit the collage with filters, backgrounds, stickers and text. Frames, fonts and animated effects round out the set. For anyone who posts groups of photos rather than single images, this is a meaningful chunk of the app rather than an afterthought.

Sharing is built in for Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and TikTok, so the final step does not require saving to the gallery and opening another app. That is a small convenience, but it is the kind of thing that decides whether an editing app actually gets used.

What you need before you start

There is nothing complicated about getting going. You download the app, and the camera and editor are available from there, so I would not expect a barrier between installing it and taking a first photo. The app is free to download, carries ads, and has no in-app purchases to configure.

If you plan to use the collage maker, having a handful of pictures already on the device is the practical starting point.

The app has been updated regularly, with the most recent release dated September 22, 2026. The changes listed in recent versions are incremental rather than structural: faster camera capture, more templates, improved stickers, added summer stickers, and tweaks to photo clarity and sharing. That pattern suggests a developer maintaining what is already there rather than rebuilding it, which is generally what you want from a camera app you have settled into.

Where the app fits into a photo routine

This is a good fit for someone who takes selfies often and wants them to look polished without spending time in a full editing program. The real-time filters and one-tap touch-up cover the common case, and the makeup presets give people who are unsure about cosmetics a way to experiment. If your photos usually end up on a social feed, the collage templates and built-in sharing close the loop neatly.

It also suits anyone who wants a single app for both faces and layouts. Doing the retouching and the collage in one place avoids the quality loss and hassle of moving files around. The adjustment sliders and the blur brush give enough control that you are not stuck with a single preset look.

The ads are the main thing to accept going in, since the app is free and ad-supported. That is the trade for getting the full toolset at no cost, and it is a straightforward one to evaluate. There is no in-app purchase layer to navigate, which keeps the experience predictable.

A capable free editor for selfie-first photographers

Beauty Camera earns a recommendation for people who want a fast, guided path from selfie to shareable photo. The real-time beauty filters, the one-tap and manual retouching, the makeup try-on, the collage templates and the standard adjustment tools add up to a genuinely broad free app, and the 4.8 average across more than 151,000 ratings suggests users find it delivers on that promise.

It is best suited to casual and social photographers: people who shoot selfies regularly, post to Instagram, TikTok or similar, and would rather not learn a desktop-grade editor. The makeup presets in particular make it approachable for anyone who has never worked with cosmetics and wants to see how a look sits on their own face.

If you want a camera that captures exactly what is in front of it with no enhancement, this app is built around the opposite idea, and that is worth being clear about. For everyone else, it is a free download with ads and no purchases, a large and active user base, and a toolset that covers the whole selfie workflow. That is a reasonable package to try.
