Measurement over makeup overlays
Baseline scans without heavy filters keep progress honest.
GlowUp vs YouCam
Filters are fun. Scores are for progress.
YouCam (and similar beauty cams) excel at try-on and filters. GlowUp does not try to be a full makeup studio — it measures face presentation and helps you track real-world improvements.
