James Blunt is a self-declared expert on beauty, but can he help others find their best selves?

That’s what Tinder is banking on. They’ve given the British songwriter the very fitting title of Chief Blunt Officer at the company. In a series of new videos released Friday, he's reviewing people’s profiles and giving them feedback.
