Some faces feel like they only have one story to tell. But the truth is, your face has always carried more than one mood—a sharp, editorial version of you that belongs on a magazine cover, and a soft, sunlit version that glows like the first warm day of spring. They were all there the whole time. You just hadn't met them yet.

That's exactly what Retrica's Face AI is for. Face AI is Retrica's AI-powered way of refining your features with real mood and character—not flattening every face into the same look. Built on Face AI, these four presets each enhance your face in a different direction, so you can pick the mood that fits the moment. One photo, four directions. Same face, four completely different stories.

In this guide, we'll walk through all four Face AI presets—Fox, Mixed, Bambi, and Snatch—what each one feels like, the mood it creates, and when to reach for it. By the end, you'll know exactly which version of you to call up for your next shot.

The Idea Behind Face AI

Most beauty filters do one thing: they smooth, brighten, and push every face toward the same template. The result might look polished, but it rarely looks like you—and it definitely doesn't look like the many different yous that show up depending on your mood, your outfit, or the light in the room.

Face AI takes the opposite approach. Rather than forcing a single standard of "pretty," it refines your features while keeping the range that makes them yours. The same eyes, jawline, cheeks, and tones can read as cool and editorial in one frame and warm and tender in the next—it all depends on how they're enhanced. That's where these four presets come in: each one is built on Face AI to pull your face in a distinct direction, a fully formed mood instead of a slider you have to fiddle with.

Think of it less like a filter and more like a stylist who already knows your angles. You bring the face; Face AI completes the face card. Whichever mood you're in, there's a version waiting for it.

Meet the Four Face AI Presets

Each preset captures a different side of you. Here's how they break down.

🦊 FOX — Sharp. Sophisticated. Chic.

FOX — sharp, editorial, magazine-cover energy

Fox is the cover-girl mood: elongated eyes, a refined jawline, and an overall sense of cool, deliberate elegance. This is the version of you that looks like it was shot for the front of a magazine—composed, a little mysterious, effortlessly chic.

The aesthetic leans editorial and minimalist, with clean black tones that keep everything looking intentional and high-end. Reach for Fox when you want to feel sharp and grown-up: think monochrome outfits, clean studio lighting, or any moment where you want to project quiet confidence rather than sweetness. It's the mood that says you didn't try too hard—even though the result looks like it belongs in print.

Best for: editorial portraits, minimalist looks, black-and-white or low-saturation styling.

💛 MIXED — Borderless beauty. Global muse.

MIXED — natural, film-inspired, borderless beauty

Mixed is beauty that refuses to sit in one category. Soft freckles, expressive eyes, and gentle contours come together into a look that feels worldly and hard to place in the best possible way—the kind of face you'd see in a global campaign shot across three different cities.

The mood here is natural, vintage-film, and global-casual. It's relaxed but full of character, the kind of look that pairs perfectly with a denim jacket and grainy film tones. Choose Mixed when you want warmth and individuality over polish—when you want to look like you, just elevated into a muse. It's the most lived-in, human mood of the four, and that's exactly its charm.

Best for: casual everyday shots, film-style edits, looks where personality matters more than perfection.

🦌 BAMBI — Soft. Sweet. Pure light.

BAMBI — soft, sweet, sunlit glow

Bambi is all softness. Rounder eyes, plumper cheeks, and fuller lips create a gentle, youthful glow—like spring sunlight falling across your face on the first warm morning of the year. Where Fox is cool and composed, Bambi is open, sweet, and full of light.

The aesthetic is pastel, springtime, and natural-light through and through. This is the mood for tender, approachable photos: soft outfits, blooming backgrounds, golden-hour windows. Reach for Bambi when you want to feel warm and a little dreamy—the version of you that looks like the kindest person in the room. It's comfort and charm rolled into one.

Best for: soft natural-light portraits, pastel styling, sweet and approachable moods.

⚡ SNATCH — Sculpted. Striking.

SNATCH — sculpted, striking, runway-ready

Snatch is the showstopper. Defined contours, lifted cheekbones, and a chiseled jawline come together into a look that's built for the runway—bold, sculpted, and impossible to ignore. If Fox is the magazine cover, Snatch is the front row at fashion week.

The mood is high-fashion, contemporary, and urban: confident lines, strong styling, city energy. Choose Snatch when you want maximum impact—statement outfits, dramatic angles, the kind of photo that stops the scroll. It's the most striking of the four, and it doesn't whisper. It makes an entrance.

Best for: high-fashion looks, bold styling, dramatic and high-impact shots.

So, Which One Is You?

Here's the thing—you don't have to pick just one. The whole point of Face AI is that all four moods already live in your face. On a given day you might want Fox's sharp sophistication, and the next you're reaching for Bambi's sweet softness. Mixed gives you that effortless, one-of-a-kind allure; Snatch turns the impact all the way up.

• Fox for sharp sophistication

• Mixed for unique, borderless allure

• Bambi for sweet, sunlit softness

• Snatch for striking, runway-ready impact

The fun is in trying them all on the same photo and watching how completely each one shifts the story. Same face. Four moods. Four versions of you that were there the whole time.
