Facetune

If you have a mother in your house who's constantly futzing and talking about her weight and like, I'm too fat, I want to fix this, I want...

Subconsciously, you're absorbing that, and that is stronger and more powerful to me than any Facetune.

But I've spent

my whole life to adjust to myself, and I had good role models, but I find myself as, it's the flip side of the teenage influencers.

I mean, who knows nowadays.

Because it does look like that she moved in, like, you know, on Facetune app where you can, like, move your body to certain spots.

Oh, right, right.

You just pinch it, like, make my waist smaller, make my boobs bigger.

I did the same thing.

And at FaceTune, like, I was like, you couldn't see me.

No, like, literally looked like warped mountains in the background.

The point of dating is to practice.

Yeah.

Um, they did also have, like, appearance touch-up features, where usually you've had thing, like apps like Facetune and things like that to make you look a little better, smooth out, um, shadows or wrinkles or things like that.

Now you can do that right on iPhone.

Um- That's also where, like, the altered with AI- [laughs]

Let's make it happen.

Bella Sprague, Social Media Manager at Facetune.

Welcome to Marketing Girlie.

Thank you so much for having me.

Thank you so much for coming on.

I am so excited to chat through your career journey.

As you mentioned before, you've had quite the path before Facetune.

You worked at Barstool, worked at Unwell.

But don't put me in a situation where I'm thinking about doing it, which I won't.

There's a lot of people catching a lot of flack because they use, you know, Facetune and Photoshop and they try to alter themselves to look really great online.

And I don't see any problem with that.

The Facetune epidemic.

As photo editing gets better, our faces get less real.

I think that it is becoming so impressive what these women are doing.

I have a thing for facial hair so I was like oh no I kind of think he's hot no but he's dead and all that so look don't come for me you look at the picture you know he's kind of cute anyways that's not the point of the story he's horrible but also if you google the pictures you're gonna be like Bailey uh I thought you said he had bad skin why are you making fun of him he looks great Well, guess what? I love this for us.

Guess what? Stalin, he was the queen of Facetune before Facetune was a thing.

I know, right? What the hell? He literally had all, all of his pictures retouched professionally.

And he did so because he was so insecure about his appearance.
