1. Visada

Upload your most recent selfie that you took in the ladies bathroom (don’t say you didn’t), and the app will analyze your skin and your face to create a beauty assessment. After it is done, it will give you suggestions for hair and makeup. Some woman say it is great, others say it gives blanket advice to most women, and some women upload pictures of clowns to see if the app suggests a new conditioner. Some of the advice, such as ways to remove dark marks from under your eyes, seems legit.

2. Spruce

Have an appointment with your virtual dermatologist through your phone. Select a certified dermatologist via the app by choosing from one of their profiles. Ask them about your skin issues and even send photographs of your skin for a consultation. Your virtual dermatologist can advise you on skin treatments for certain weather, to achieve a certain look, or if you are having skin issues and you want help. Consultations are expensive, but are low cost when compared with appointments with actual dermatologists.

3. Glamsquad

itunes.apple.com

As weird as it sounds, this app allows you to book hairdressers and such from your home as if you were ordering a pizza. It only works in LA, Miami and New York at the moment, but the idea allows hairdressers to visit your house at set times to do your hair. Freelance hairdressers and salon workers have been doing this sort of thing for years, but now you can order it via an app without ever having to talk to anyone. At some point, this sort of thing with beauty apps will be part-global the same way you can go to most countries and order a takeaway online.

4. Beautified

itunes.apple.com

This is an app that allows you to pick and book beauty sessions in your local area. You can book them if the establishment has appointments available. For example, you can book manicures, massages, haircuts, pedicures, blowouts, waxes, makeup and facials from approved salons. There are certain places and establishments where you need to give 48 hours notice because they are often busy.

5. Sephora to Go

itunes.apple.com

A name most of you will probably recognize. This app has a lot of content on beauty. Much of it is based around product reviews but there’s a lot of material that may act as inspiration for your new look, and there are plenty of tutorials on the app too. There’s also Sephora TV which has how-to videos for hair, nails and beauty.

6. L'Oreal Makeup Genius

itunes.apple.com

Of course it is going to focus heavily on L’Oreal but this app allows you to see what your face would look like with a chosen makeup product on your face. You simply scan in your face, upload a product and get an instant view of how it looks. And because it works in real time you can smile and make facial movements to see how it really looks.

7. Lifebooker

itunes.apple.com
play.google.com

This is a good app and website for finding discounts in your local and online stores. It gives you numerous discounts and deals on beauty products. They also give out discounts on beauty services too. Try the "Deals" section to find discounts. You may also book beauty appointments online and search 25,000 services within over 5,000 businesses.

I hope you find some of these useful. Do you have any favorite beauty apps you’d recommend?
