Three Essential Essent Apps

Facetune: Be your most flawless self

The good news: You captured the perfect moment. The bad news: Your mug is ruining it. Facetune ($3.99 for IOS and

Android phones) is key for situations that call for quick retouching. Among other features, it whitens teeth and masks blemishes.

Afterlight: Filter like there’s no tomorrow

If you use only the filters built into your phone or Instagram, you’re practically living in the Nokia age. Afterlight (99¢) is the simplest photo editing app, with 74 more finely adjustable options.

Squaready: Relive the entire experience

Instagram lets users post photos of varying shapes and orientations. Videos? You’re stuck with squares. Squaready (free) will preserve a clip’s aspect ratio, so no part of your trip gets chopped out.
