Hungarian musician Boggie performs in her music video from only the headshot camera position. Meanwhile, her face is transformed using a Photoshop type display — seemingly in realtime.
The Photoshop type video editor is shown to retouch her skin, hair, eyes, facial features and lighting while she sings her song. In the end of the video, you’re given a before and after split screen.

While some of the effects are done in realtime, I am sure some of the effects were done using good ol’ analog makeup. As far as I know, there is no such technology that can do exactly like this — in realtime — yet.
This does raise a particularly interesting question, though. Where do we draw the line with this? While some Photoshop techniques are equal to using Maybelline, it can also be used to present people beyond their own nature.
How far can we ethically push the slider?
