That will only correct lens distortion like barrel and pin cushion. Those are the types of distortion that make straight line not straight.
The type of distortion that makes people's faces wonky is perspective distortion, which is caused by the camera's position relative to the subject and can't really be corrected in post-processing.
So to reduce the perspective distortion, you have to stand further away and/or place your subjects in the middle of the frame, which, unfortunately, makes for some pretty boring pictures. As others have suggested, you're probably better off embracing the distortion and making something interesting out of it.
