Makeup Designs app review: achieve a new look

Introduction

Finding the latest tips and tricks when it comes to makeup can be pretty time-consuming when you need to flip through magazines and surf the Net. If you're tired of wearing your same look or are new to makeup all together, the Makeup Designs app can help you out.

Get That Professional Look

Within this app you are given all kinds of makeup design tutorials so you can create stunning, fresh, and modern looks. Some looks may take a bit of time and work while others are fast and simple and can be done in about 10 minutes. The idea is that all these designs look professional yet they are meant to be done at home by people with even very limited makeup application experience.

In total there are 80 different makeup design tutorials you can study and apply on your own face. The free version provides you with the looks in the Romantic Date category only. It doesn't matter what your skin tone is, your age, or your hair color, you are bound to find some fabulous suggestions.

What is especially helpful is the mini-tutorial that you are given when you launch the app for the first time. It walks you through the basics of navigating the designs, how to save designs to your favorites, and more.

 

The Tutorials

The tutorials themselves are extremely easy to follow. The application is broken down step-by-step with a picture to explain each part. The photos are extremely high-quality and show the steps in detail so you aren’t left confused and frustrated by the instructions. At the end of the tutorial you can share the look by Facebook or Twitter. There is a camera icon at the end of each tutorial where you can snap a photo of your finished look.

Now it is imperative I mention perhaps the coolest feature in the whole app which is the Smart Mirror. Slide the screen to the left to make the “mirror” appear. Your face will appear on the screen and then you can tap on the right eye, left eye, or mouth icon and the mirror automatically zooms in on the specified feature of your face. This is meant to help you apply the makeup and check out your results.

As mentioned you can save any of the looks to your favorites so you can view them again any time you like.
