1. YouCam Makeup
On Google Play: play.google.com
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
This is one of the first makeover apps I tried and I was impressed with all of the different things you could try. For instance, you can contour your face, give yourself a new eye color, and even try a double eyelid. I was most interested in trying seeing how I’d look with different eyebrows but sadly there really weren’t that many options and it looked cartoonish. I think the blush and lipstick was really realistic looking so definitely try those features out.
2. Perfect365

On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
This app offered an option to give yourself a makeover live where you add makeup to your face in real time or you can try different types of looks on a photo. There were also lots of categories such as Everyday, Glamour, Wild, and you can get really detailed on the colors you use on your face which is a plus. They also had a feature where you could try looks from The Huntsman: Winter's War!

4. Makeup Genius by L’Oreal
On Google Play: play.google.com
On iTunes: itunes.apple.com
Leave it to L’Oreal to create a makeover app that looks super realistic. I loved being able to try out makeup looks from some of its celebrity ambassadors like Eva Longoria, Fan BingBing, and Cheryl Cole to name a few. But, I think what I enjoyed most was being able to see myself with a dark, smoky eye. I have yet to master the technique myself and it actually looked good so I know it’s doable!
The Makeup Genius app utilizes advanced facial mapping technology which allows you to experiment with a vast array of L'Oreal products in real-time. Not only can you test out shades and styles tailored for various occasions, but you can also learn makeup application techniques. The feature that gives tutorial-like guidance helps you understand how to achieve the looks you try on. Plus, the convenience of snapping a photo and sharing it with friends for their thoughts before you make any purchases is priceless. Whether it’s a bold lip or a subtle foundation, this app boosts your beauty confidence with just a few taps.
5. You Makeup - Makeover Editor
On Google Play: play.google.com
This was the first app that I came across that featured makeup for men. I checked it out and it featured a limited selection of eyebrow shapes, facial hair, some eyeliner, and lip color. For the ladies, there were lots of looks ranging from natural, glamour, to fashion but I was disappointed with how unnatural the eyebrows looked. Other than that, the blush, eye shadow, and lipstick were all quite realistic.

Getting a makeover isn’t just about makeup, hair is equally important. The aptly named Hairstyle Makeover app allows both male and female users to try out new hairstyles and even facial hair.
