Hairstyle Makeover

Ever wonder what a new hairstyle or color would look like on you? Now you can see for yourself, without setting foot in a salon. Simply upload a photo of yourself, choose a hairstyle and share it with friends for their opinion.

Indulge: The Nail Snob App

Thanks to this app, you’ll never forget a nail polish color or name again. Here’s how it works: If you’re at a nail salon, mark where you are (“home” if it’s DIY). You’ll even get a list of nearby salons. Have a bottle of a favorite color on hand? Scan its barcode; if there’s no barcoe, you can search by name or model number. Scan a pic of your mani or pedi, then share your experience. Note: The app is only available for IOS.

Makeup Genius

See what makeup products look like, without having to meet with a beauty consultant at the makeup counter. Makeup genius uses a facial mapping algorithm to scan your facial features so you can upload any product, shade or look onto your face. Then see the results in real time. Full disclosure: This app is brought to you by L’Oreal.

Plum Perfect

Trying to discover the signature look for your skin tone? Plum Perfect can help. Its technology scans your photos and more than 60,000 makeup products to find the perfect matches for you. Available for IOS only.
