Beauty Camera: Sweet Camera

Beauty Camera Review: Live Makeup Before the Shutter, Precise GPS Behind It

What stays free, and what moved behind Premium in late 2025

Downloading and shooting cost nothing, but Google Play flags both ads and in-app purchases, with US items priced from $1.99 to $19.99; store prices are regional and can change. The developer publishes no plan breakdown: its listed website is a short welcome page on Amazon S3 with no pricing or help content. Reviews date the shift: a December 2025 reviewer wrote that some stickers, makeup looks and filters had become Premium where everything used to be free, and a January 2026 review with 558 helpful votes asked for free makeup. An August 2026 Spanish-language review called the locks lighter than in rivals where non-VIP users get a basic camera. Ads split opinion too: more than a dozen reviewers in four languages report none or very few, despite the Contains ads badge.

Effect, Looks and Makeup: three live tabs that run before the shutter

The camera screen carries three tabs. Effect holds whole-face presets named Young, Elegant, Cute, Warm and Rose, plus a None option and a strength slider; Makeup splits into lipstick shades such as Ruby, Strawberry and Brick and blushers such as Peach and Flower. A separate Reshape panel adds V Thin, Eye Enlarge, Mouth, Nose and Cheek Thin next to a Skin tab. Makeup can be on before you touch anything: two reviewers found it applied automatically, and the developer's fix in both replies was Makeup > None. Auto save starts off, so photos must be saved by hand unless you enable it in the three-dot menu; a 2024 review with 1,689 helpful votes warned that unsaved pictures disappear. Another 2024 review, with 350 votes, adds that the same makeup lands on every face in the frame.

Precise GPS, a microphone and a Data safety form that rules out deletion

Behind Mobile_V5 is IMEDIASOFT Technology Pte. Ltd., registered in Singapore, with a +86 phone number on its Play profile and a privacy policy hosted on an ijoysoftconnect.com address. The Android permission list reaches past a camera: precise GPS and network location, microphone, Wi-Fi details, draw over other apps and set wallpaper. The Data safety form declares only device IDs, collected optionally for analytics, shared with no one, encrypted in transit and not deletable. The policy reads wider: it lists IMEI, MAC address and the Android advertising ID, allows transfers to China or Singapore, and accepts erasure requests by email, which contradicts the Play form. It also says the service is not aimed at children under 13, while Google Play rates the app Everyone.
