No Need to Make a Commitment

With this makeover tool there is no need to make a commitment because whatever you do is all done virtually, allowing you to get a taste and feel for what your changes would look like on you. I love that if you're thinking of making a drastic or dramatic change you can first do a trial-run, if you will, with this app.

So how daring can you get with this app? Well you are given thousands of blushes, lipsticks, foundation, eye shadows, mascaras, and eye liners. Guaranteed, it’s a whole lot more makeup you own for yourself and possibly more than the beauty counter even! To top it off the colors are updated on a regular basis so you can find all the latest trends and shades.

All you need to do in order to enjoy your instant makeover is snap a picture of yourself and start playing with the options.

Now it should be noted that there are plenty of features you will need to pay for here. In-app purchases range from $0.99 to $2.99.

Change Your Look with the Tap of a Button

I’m the type of person who is constantly changing my hair color and makeup and through that there have been some successes and some not-so-successful looks. An app like this seems like a wise idea for someone like me but I must say I am left a bit unimpressed.

For me I am all about quick and easy apps and this one was far from it! If you want to snap a photo of yourself to use then you have a whole lot of calibrating and setting up to do. I find I get way too frustrated with these steps so I’d rather just the models in the app. By doing that it defeats the whole purpose, really.

Using the model is relatively easy and you can adjust the hair color so that it matches yours at least. I just don’t find the app to be especially user-friendly.
