Most of the consumer compact cameras have a "purikura" setting or a "beauty" setting with special treatment for the skin, whiter eyes and whiter teeths, and eventually bigger eyes and smaller mouth (yes, that's a thing).
It may be on by default for the cameras targeted at a female audience (in a rapidly shrinking market, female bloggers for instance are a big target), otherwise it won't even be available in more specialized or "hardcore" markets, like DSLR or mirrorless (4/3rds, Nikon 1, EOS M etc) for instance. For the anecdote, I bought a shockproof/waterproof compact camera last year and there's nothing so fancy on it.
