How to use Google Meet's new AI makeup tool
Google Meet has a new AI-powered makeup filter that lets you apply lipstick without opening a real tube.
Launched on Oct. 13, the tool is an expansion of the video call platform's "Touch Up" feature added in 2023. Similar to the AR beauty and makeup lenses on social media sites like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, and the myriad virtual try-on platforms around, Google Meet's new feature allows users to add basic makeup filters that mimic foundation, blush, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow.
