What it is
What Shine does
Live virtual makeup on the front camera, processed entirely on-device with AVFoundation. Face landmarks are discarded after each session and no advertising or tracking SDK is included.
Live front-camera capture with looks applied in real time. The whole pipeline is local: frames are processed on the device, and the face landmarks used to place a look are discarded when the session ends.
The app ships with no advertising or tracking SDKs, which in this category is a design decision rather than an oversight.
How it does its job
Landmarks discarded
Face geometry is used for the session and then dropped, not stored.
No tracking SDKs
Nothing in the bundle reports your usage anywhere.
What it doesn't do
Rendering fidelity depends on lighting and camera quality, as any live effect does.
