If you've ever wondered what you'd look like if your face was blended with a work of art or a what a child would look like with a partner, then the Face Stealer app is just the ticket to help satisfy that itch. The app works by blending the facial features of a photo or other image with a self-taken photo of yourself.
The results can be somewhat creepy, but the actual level of blending can be customized and tweaked for an interesting final product. The Face Stealer app is in good company in the App Store because there are a plethora of apps that help disfigure and transform out faces. Many people like to see what they'd look like 40 years older or if they were a different gender, so it's interesting to see yet another app that takes this to the next level.
