It doesn’t actually work. It’s like those apps that say they’ll show what you look like at a different weight, or what you and someone’s baby would like like. There’s no high tech magic that scans through pictures you feed it of different angles and full body and lighting and then constructs their face and complexion and skin tone and pore size. It’s basically a pallet swap that changes areas of bright or vivid or contrasting colors for a similar but more subdued one. As others have said- if you use it on someone with heavy contouring and foundation and things like that, it will fail miserably. It’s just a photo retouch based on a simple algorithm. A filter more or less.
Pretty much this. Tbh it probably actually goes farther than that because this App likely assumes the women do things like fill in their eyebrows etc which isn't something all women do. It can't account for contouring (as you've said). It's basically little more than an educated guess based on the desaturization of certain areas
